Alan & Sue Brook have waited a long time for their Gap year! Our dream about travelling part of the world in an overland vehicle started some years ago and now it looks like it really is going to happen. This blog has been created to help us keep a record of our travels and for family and friends to follow our progress through Mexico, central and South America.

| Test run to Tuscany Sept 2015 |
Following months of
preparation our Land Rover Discovery, affectionately called ‘Footloose Lucy’, departed on a container ship from Southampton on 26 March
and, all being well, should arrive in Galveston on 19 April. We fly out on 17
April and, with any luck, the import agent in Houston will arrange for us to be
re-united with Lucy soon after that so that our adventure can begin.
Our plan is to reach
Mexico as soon as possible then travel down through Central America, trans ship
from Panama to Columbia and, from there, who knows which direction we will take
or how far we will get in a year? Watch this space!
