It\u2019s been two months now living in our truck camper with minimal square footage and very few amenities and yet I want for nothing. My craving to go home has passed and riding out that urge showed me my ability to ride the ups and downs, highs and lows that are inevitable while traveling this way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bittersweet feeling is starting to set in as the end of this trip is a short two(ish) weeks away. I can\u2019t help but get caught up in daydreaming about not going home. What if we didn\u2019t have to go back to the states? Where would we go? What would we do? Would the Pan-Am highway draw us in and take us to Central and South America? I\u2019ve read so many accounts of the journey, lusting over it but not considering it a real life possibility. Until now. Our time in Mexico has shown me that Mark &amp; I are fully capable of that kind of journey, if and when we thought we wanted to attempt it. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we ever will, but I love that Mexico has opened the door to that possibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0793-022523LaPaz.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7107_da702e-29 .kt-block-spacer{height:125px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7107_da702e-29 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#070707;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-7107_da702e-29\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h5 class=\"kt-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7107_374d2e-63\">Never miss a post!
