Drive to FL - take the Yucatan Express. http://yucatanexpress.com/

It's much cheaper, quicker and much more fun that talking 2 days to
drive to Brownsville. Then 3 days to get to the Yucatan.. I drove down
that way last year to do some "End of Time" initiations with my Mayan
shaman friends. I came back via the Canadian ferry I just mentioned. Me,
food and my, then, Mercedes 300 turbo diesel for $325 total. It took
1-1/2 days. Interesting people aboard, of course...

Mexican insurance (liability and Legal Aid Coverage) for one year @ $83
from ADA VIA Global Enterprises, Inc. (909) 506-7865. Quick, easy over
the phone via a CC.

The van needs to be in YOUR name for the Mexican folks to give you  the
documents to bring the van in for 6 months. That cost $15  plus a $20 or
$25 cost for a non-refundable bond that is charged to your CC to assure
that you don't leave the van in Mexico and check it back out.  You can
thank the NWO for that tracking efficiency in this 3rd world country,
which is really owned by the same people that own our privatly held
Federal Reserve Bank, Inc.... Ah but I'm getting political... and that's
off topic.  Forgive me por favor.

The best way to get the ticket for the same cost is to email my friend
in Merida. Tell him that his fame is spreading all over the world. So
you were left with no choice but to use his services. He's a Canadian
who has been living in Mexico for 22 years or so and owns YUCATAN TRAILS
Travel Agency. Denis Lafoy = email = yucatantrails@hotmail.com = tel =
(52) 999 928 25-82.

Denis will make a small commission from the ticket sale but he'll be a
good contact via email too I would think...

Any other questions email me off line if you like... I'll be taking my
90' GL down that way for the March equinox with the Maya and to do some
humanistic economic development work with the Mayan community at large...

Have a great trip... French is close to Spanish

Subject: Looking for advice re. Mexico

I am contemplating a visit to my daughter who works in a missionary school in
northern Honduras.    I am considering driving from SC to Brownsville Texas
then crossing through Mexico, either east to Belize then south or through
Guatemala then  north to Honduras.
I have received all kinds of warnings about bandits and police who stop you
just to get some money from you.    I dont speak spanish though I am fluent in
french and italian and have travelled extensively, mostly in Europe and a
little in Asia.
Any one on the list that has travelled that part of Mexico ?   I would be
passing east of Mexico city and driving all the hours of daylight.  I would love
to get some info and help from somebody who has done something comparable.
Am I crazy to think about if ?  Crazier to think about going in my 91 Carat ?

Thanks,
Steve Cotsford
