Getting Ready!

Well, it's been 2 long years since we were last SOB and we are getting ready to head that way. The map gives an overview of this 5,000 mile, one way, trip (click on it to see a large version). We plan to leave Thur (5 March). We will mosey our way to Brownsville and plan to go back roads as much as possible. We will do the East or Gulf Coast of Mexico this time. First area that we will spend time at is on the Emerald Coast, just south of Poza Rico and north of Veracruz. This will be quite different than the West Coast trip since on the second day in Mexico we will already be below the Tropic of Cancer and in warmth! Who knows what we will do from there? We have the medicine issue resolved for 90 days so we will not be pressed.

Daniele will be doing most of the blogging on this trip. We've got our SkyPE system working. The Email works. We've got our paper work in order....we hope.

Check back and see how we are progressing! And, yes, we have read all the dire warnings. We frequent RV in Mexico web sites and forums and no one has had a problem. We will get clear of the border in a hurry and practice situational awareness.
