I'm so excited! Only 2 days and a wake up left until we head to the border! We are heading out around noon on Friday, September 5th to try to make it to Brownsville by 9pm with the anticipation of being at the border to cross bright and early on Saturday morning. All I can do now is just pray we get a green light and do not have to deal too much with Customs. Regardless, it will be an adventure.
We've finally decided on a route to take! This was a tedious process because we've read so many blogs and trip reports from others that have made this drive and some say to go down the middle of the country through Monterrey, San Louis Potosi, etc and some say drive down 180 down the coastline. We are choosing to drive down the coast starting at Matamoros, Tampico, Veracruz, Villahermosa, Chetumal then onto Playa. We plan on doing some hard driving, only stopping when necessary and trying to drive all daylight hours. After day one, we will probably end up switching that plan and taking our time. I just want to get to Playa.
Now, we are just finishing up the last of the details:
New tires, oil change, transmission fluid, check brakes, coolant. DONE
Hotel reservations while we are in Playa. DONE
Flight back to Dallas. DONE
Download music on ipod. I need some great road trip music.
Copies of passports, FM3 visas, marriage and birth certificates (just in case), drivers license, and auto insurance.
Camera.
Cash.
Car permit paperwork.
Pack.
I'm ready for Mexico...Is Mexico ready for me?
