My schedule stays pretty much the same from year to year as I choose what I've found to be the best times of year at each location for overall wildlife activity and comfortable weather.  I try to add a new destination every year or two.  There are several locations - Panama, Eastern Chiapas, Southeast Brazil, Central Amazonia, Southern Ecuador, the Yucatan, and West Mexico - that I sometimes visit only every other year so they aren't always on the calendar.
