Boy did Dave put the far of God into me with the comment:

Dave:  1. Make sure all crew members have Visa's in their passports for any
country you contemplate visiting.

I had a cold shiver run down my spine as I realized we were leaving for
Central America with NO Visas for any of the countries.  According to a
travel web site here are the visa requirements for C.A.

Belize:  Passport required, visa not required for visit lasting less than 30
days

Costa Rica:  Passport required, visa not required for visits less than 90
days

El Salvador:  Passport required, single-entry tourist card required,
obtained for $10 on arrival

Guatemala:  Passport required, visa not required for visits less than 90
days

Honduras:  Passport required, visa not required for visits less than 90 days

Nicaragua:  Passport required, visa not required for U.S. citizens

Panama:  Passport required, visa/tourist card required, available upon entry

So I'm good as we plan to transit this area within each countries time
frame.

Steve observed:  And just be glad that most of the rest of the world does
not treat
our citizens like we treat their citizens.  I don't know how long
this will last.

Scott suggests:  As long as they want our dollars and we want to spend them
in their countries.  Ask the residence of Bali how there economy is doing
after the night club bombing several years ago?  World tensions and
conflicts seem to be a big issue.  I'm curious how Dave is seeing Venezuela
change, if at all?  I'd really like to go there on the way back.
