The Panama Canal - is that half-way...or far enough?

Jesse and Andy have reached the Panama Canal. That's a landmark. The Miraflores Locks. They have a lot of mosquitoes, don't they? Next stop Colombia. but you can't get there from there. You need a boat or a plane. I think Pascale joins them there, then it's off to Quito. Is that far enough for a motorcycle diary? Anyway you can stay posted by clicking on Southbound 650
