Mega west coast(of America) road trip

by Claushema » Sat Aug 29, 2015 6:41 pm
I'm planning on shipping my bus over next year and going with Robin on ( what seems to be) an amazing trip. It passes thru the places where I grew up/went to college ect ect... Anybody else up for it?

It is that easy:, put your bus in a container, ship it to Seattle, get on a plane, drive bus to mexico, bus back in container in Long Beach, fly home. Let's do it!

exactly. Before or after you can travel around and see lots more. Drive to NY and put the bus on a ship in New Jersey.

Just got off the phone with a very nice lady at Airhead parts. It seems the planning starts in March or so but here's a link already to the 2016 edition with lots of fotos from this year to motivate you. I'm going to start working the logistics of shipping/customs/insurance for foreign cars ( non-USA reg) and will keep everyone posted.
