ok thanks so for the support guys....i've been doing major research in the past few days have i've come up with all kinds of questions. i think i know the answer to them but i just wanted to get a feel for what tpunks think....

so anyone who knows, plz help!!

does anyone know if the hurricanes down there (Stan) has affected tourism, is it still safe to travel or are a lot of the roads/cities closed?

it seems like everyone has their 2cents about safety issues when traveling to central america (sans CR, of course). lots of crime on travelers? how about non-spanish speaking women? basically.....will i get kidnapped and killed??

how many packers visit central america?

is it impossible to get through panama by bus? how are the road systems.

whats the best way(time and money) to get from country to country? is there an extensive bus system or are we talking about riding the chicken trucks.

anyone who's been...plz share your experiences as i am starting to get cold feet.

thanks everyone!
