We can't wait to so some more exploring in January and February in the San Luis Potosi area especially.

One was the first year in the Baja, the second was an old runway that wasn't used anymore in front of a military post on the coast at Maruata south of Manzanillo and the last time was just in January at the Copper Canyon, not sure that, that runway is ever used anymore either.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-71167151659285591532015-10-26T23:51:49.301-04:002015-10-26T23:51:49.301-04:00Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. ...Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. I sure hope that our blog can be an inspiration to you. If you what to convince your wife let her read our blog and see all the wonderful places we have been, the incredible people we have met and the delicious food we have eaten and then maybe she might be convinced. ;-) If you can find someone else to travel with for your first time it helps to make you feel more at ease, this is what we did. Keep on studying and reading up on blogs and people who have traveled here, it is the best way to get informed and be ready. Good luck to you both. If you have any questions that we may be able to answer don't hesitate to send us an email, which is located in the right hand column at the top.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-5917572441757491292015-10-26T23:43:09.121-04:002015-10-26T23:43:09.121-04:00Yep, I was telling Kevin that I thought it would b...Yep, I was telling Kevin that I thought it would be quite a bit more than what it used to be.

It's wonderful scenery filled with lots of small towns, friendly people with desert and mountain views.

We bought our MH this past April and are really looking forward to putting some miles on it. I really want to travel to Mexico as well, just have to do a little convincing of my wife. I've read what you all have said about what others say about how unsafe it is to travel to Mexico and you are most assuredly talking about my family and friends. I tell them I have been studying and reading a lot about Mexico since buying our MH and I would feel perfectly safe driving down south. With or without their approval, we will soon be ready to travel south. I have learned so much from you and I will continue to follow your blog and learn as much as I can. <br /><br />We are both retired from the state of Texas and in our mid-fifties, so it is time for us to seek out new adventures. Thanks once again for updating your travels and giving the rest of us the courage to do new and adventurous things. <br /><br />Darle and Pam.<br />Darle McClintockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093706077297192513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41348665621986396892015-10-24T14:41:06.139-04:002015-10-24T14:41:06.139-04:00Have you tried airport camping in México?Have you tried airport camping in México?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974453598992131798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-53366097962773529352015-10-24T13:31:22.077-04:002015-10-24T13:31:22.077-04:00I am glad that you are fine.

I paid all three times Peso 306 + 19 % tax = Peso 364. Then this was US-Dollar 28.30. I think that's too much even though you can use the pool.Renate Hovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835182842149105655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-10899393688549409252015-10-24T12:19:17.753-04:002015-10-24T12:19:17.753-04:00Nice that Patricia did not effect you.
