Interchanging cushions and pillows is equivalent to confusing doors and windows. They're both openings in the wall. They share a lot of common ground. You could, theoretically, use them for interchangeable uses. I have previously opened doors to let light in. And I have climbed through a window or two in my time. No one mixes them up though. That would be absurd. A pillow gets covered with a pillow case and used exclusively on a bed. A cushion has a cushion cover and is usually found on a chair or sofa

@@OverlandingSophia More than 10 years ago I went through the Darien Gap with an experienced guide on Rokkon 2 wheel drive amphibious motorcycles. I would not repeat it again as had too many near death experience. On the Upside there are no Immigration Stations between the two countries. You simply pass through. I drove BMW Motorcycles from Tucson AZ to Santiago Chile 3 times and a Ford F250 Pickup with dual supercharged 460 engine 3 times. Likewise all the motorcycles had superchargers. But that was in the 1970's with less crime, less security and less drugs and gangs. A year ago my bet would have been the vehicle would never have gotten through El Salvador. And a good likelihood you would have been killed. Things can go ban in just a day.

We’ve realised this is a cultural thing! US peeps say it’s a pillow, Canadians and UK say it’s a cushion! To me, cushions are small and square and usually decorative, pillows are for sleeping! Bens been in the States too long 🤪💛

Hi Guys! I've thoroughly enjoyed following you since the whole North American adventure started. It's been fascinating to see how you do your research ( which you seem to have got better and better at as your journey has progressed), plan and deal with adversity when you must. I find the videos not only entertaining but interesting, informative and full of relevant information too. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions. I believe you have mentioned that Sofia is a diesel Sprinter. If so, I'm presuming you haven't had a DEF system fitted and I was wondering if you had any issues driving a diesel van without a DEF system in North America. Were there any rules or limitations forced on you? Secondly, did you get a new 90 day travel permit for the US each time you re-entered from Canada and Mexico or is that one large travel area, similar to the Schengen Area in Europe? I tried to do some online research but the deeper I got into it the more contradictory the results became. Hoping you can help me out and looking forward to the next video!

Sorry Chesca, cushions are only the things you sit on according to what I learned. There are bed pillows and decorative pillows or couch pillows.

This is splitting people! Never heard of a couch pillow! Are you from the US or the UK? It seems to be a divide across the pond!

Hey guys, hope you’re all well! Glad you’re better again Ben.. get your move on lol, it’s good to get moving when driving.. I’m finding the same.. go Ben with the Facts! 👍👌.. I do love the look of the town also.. haha.. Ben in the craft shop😂😂... I have ceramic plates and cups in my shed.. it’s funny when they bash about as I’m driving. Wow, those Volcanoes 🌋 are worrying.. 🤯.. nice pillowcases though. Nice to see the ruins so close, I would have to have a look! I really don’t see why the two countries ban RHD vehicles.. bit strange though.. thanks for the info, never knew about the Darian Gap. Ooh, Pizza 🍕, shame it wasn’t good.. hope you had a great party 🎉, see you on Wednesday! Xx

Thanks Mark! I know it’s such a weird ban, the only other country we know of that bans RHD is Saudi Arabia, and there are talks they’re lifting that in the future! Just means we get to Colombia sooner 😍 Love from us, hope you’re having a lovely weekend xx

I'm surprised you didn't stop at Panajachel or drive up to one of the many markets in the mountain towns like Chichicastenango or Huehuetenango. On your way through the Peten jungle to Belize I'm sure you are planning on a visit to Tikal and you might want to stop and check out Finca Ixobel Hotel Ecologico in Poptun. That's what they call the place now which was started back in the early 70's by some Gringo's looking for a different life style. I'm sure the place has changed since I was there in the early 80's but it's still run by the same cool people.

There’s always stuff we’re missing, the parking in the small villages can be a nightmare in the van which often dictates where we can go. Thanks for the Finca suggestion, think we’ve been recommended that place by a few people! 💛🙏

I know what you mean but this may be your only opportunity and I hate to see you miss out. I only say this because of what I have come to realize looking back at my travels. I wish I had not rushed and spent more time exploring and experiencing. I know you have a long way to go and if that's the main goal than you must not dilly dally to much.@@OverlandingSophia
