Traveling Mexico Ticket

Traveling to Mexico Robert led us to a wonderful experience, we could only have been the case. Camping in remote ferry landing on the Gulf of Mexico, deepening our immersion in the ancient ruins of El Tajín spending the night in the parking lot, with breakfast in our motorhome with a taxi driver in Xalapa, watching informal rodeo at a restaurant in Chihuahua - these are just some of our treasured memories. Many other small moments of beauty and interest came from this way of traveling too.

There were shortcomings, but. Getting lost, having to maneuver out of tight spots motorhome, which really need to find a place for RV at night, the issue of visiting the city while in the R. ... He quickly with a third person, but my husband and I are one, which needs regular food petrol, water and electricity, and needed to dump the water frequently.

In the U.S., it is very easy. You simply remove the motorhome at any size and shape, and everywhere you go, you can find a public or private campgrounds. There are large national directories list them. You can have a general idea what to expect when you go.

Mexico did not want that. In some parts of the country, more developed, especially the Pacific coast beach towns where American and Canadian RVers have been going for many years. But if you get the beaten ways, Robert travel to Mexico is bound to be an adventure.

Why visit Robert? We found this fun, flexible, economical and convenient.

Pleasant

We greatly enjoyed a mini-home with us wherever we went. In our own beds, kitchen, bathroom, and gave the kind of trip simplicity and stability, which we liked. We both have been writing a lot during the trip, and with the table for our two laptops was another advantage. We loved the cooking most of our meals, only eat when we want to, not because it was the only choice other than snacking. It should be something that will not live out of a suitcase - and for us, as well as notebooks and Kelly video equipment, a necessary part of our business reasons for travel, it would be a few suitcases!

Flexible

We treasured the flexibility, too. Without tickets, we could go when and where we would spontaneously. And while it is true that the outstanding bus system in Mexico, I search everywhere, I doubt we would have gone to many of the more remote places, we have studied, if we were forced to do so on the bus.

Economical

RVing is an economical way to travel, if you go long distances in the tower that the poor get fuel mileage. Our Toyota Dolphin, on average 17 miles per gallon - we have followed. Thus, even if gas prices were higher than in Mexico, the United States, our transportation costs were not bad at all. You must purchase Mexican automobile - U.S. insurance is not honored there.

We have an average of $ 10 per night camping, especially since many nights were free. As grocery costs, perhaps 60% of U.S. prices, we ate avocados and mangoes in abundance. I'm not a big beef-man-eater at home, but I loved the flavorful (though generally tougher) Mexican beef. Fresh bread and bakery goods were inexpensive, and I was happy to see the whole grain bread from time to time.

Convenient

Care foundation in general convenient. Bottled water is sold, even in tiny villages where you can buy a large container, and then complete the exchange of plastic bottles is another in a different place when you are finished. I was very pleased to see how widely available clean water. This is a tremendous step forward in public health in Mexico. At just over a dollar for roughly five gallons, the cost was insignificant to us, although still a problem for poor Mexicans.

Groceries and household items easy to find - all city chain store supermarkets which also have a household and drugstore items. The public markets offer a wide choice of products and meat. Even in small towns, is the mini-supers "(this is what they call them) of various sizes.


Staying in touch with family, friends, and our business is easy with the Internet. Everywhere in Mexico, we found good little internet cafe. After a while the connection speed was prehistoric, but usually good and sometimes very good. It usually cost from one to two dollars an hour. We have been online in about two days a week. A couple of times, we have an idyllic spot, because they have no connection there, but we never had far to go to find them. Mexicans have become the Internet, and only a few can afford computers at home - and many of them have mobile phones, as regular phone service may be difficult to obtain and expensive - as a café to meet a real need, and much more numerous than in the U.S.


What size R. accept?


As with other Americans in the campgrounds, we found that people in a small RV, as a rule, have more fun and going to more remote locations. Our small Toyota did well.

I think that the ideal vehicle for the versatile Mexican driving some form of van. It could be a good van conversions to finish or even a regular passenger van to which you've added some basic camping supply or built-in bed, table, kitchen, and, perhaps, a little bathroom. This will allow you to use it to sleep and eat when you want, but you can still stay in hotels and get the car under the overall short-entry gate.

When you select your route and find campings


We chose its own path as we went along, but we did set out some general ideas. We have never been along the coast of the Persian Gulf and would like to see it. We wanted to go to some archaeological sites. We were curious to see if we could find a place we could go back and live for several months. It is well known that the more miles of travel, the more travel and less time, you are not behind the wheel, we plan to cover only a part of Mexico this time. Once there, it was difficult to give up some of the places I wanted to see what was more, but we do not give to these impulses. It was much more fun to have a relaxing trip.

When there is no camp

Whenever we were going to stay for the night and there was no camp, we started to talk to the locals and ask their advice on places to stay. We have done all that over Mexico in 1979. Travelers say that it is more risky now. If so, I do not know how, but on this trip we did always ask, where in the beginning of travel, we do not always worry.

Danger and crime

We have heard terrible tales of weapons and crimes in Mexico, while the scariest of the librarian in Texas, whose ex-husband carried weapons around Mexico! Like attracts like, they say.

We had the experience of a petty theft. One Sunday afternoon, we were in the camp balneario popular, or hot springs, and we put our bathing suits and towels on the back of R. dry before taking a walk. I have an old pair of shoes with me, and they were quite wet. I put them on the hood to dry Toyota, where they were more visible to people who happen by. I thought that if someone made them, it really will not matter much. I would rather pair with me
