I guess I should also make the whole picture clear.

* I'm 32 and my wife is 29. We have 1 small dog.

* I will still be working as I work online. She works for herself, but will be taking a sabatical.

* We will also have a decent amount of savings JUST for this excursion.

* We're wanting to stay in multiple places at least from the top of Mexico into Central America (hopefully South America).

* We will be driving an older Jeep Cherokee.

* We're not picky... not looking for 4 star hotels or perfect beach cottages... we'll be happy with a small studio above a store or a little house in the middle of town or a decent hotel room.

* We are thinking of traveling from March 2009 to ? This will all depend on money and such, but I think with my average income we'd be fine to do this for as long as we wanted.

* We are also kind of looking for a place to up and move to in the future.

If anyone else has opinions, etc. we'd love to hear them.
