Cartels put an RPG through the Jeep; Shot out the windows of the coach; Daniele kidnapped and held for ransom (Dinkus said he only had $700); Cops arrested me; PEMEX pump jockeys robbed me blind; I and the dogs have pig flu but we barely got across the border at 1200.
PS: None of this happened…not 1 incident of any kind…nary a moment in 2 months where something did not just feel right. Never a hinky feeling. 2466 miles in Mexico over 60 days. Every single person we encountered was as nice as could be.
This is a quickie update since so many of you thought that the stuff we wrote in the 1st para WOULD happen. I need to update the last few days, esp for RV’ers.
We left Cd Victoria at 0745 and arrived at Los Indios at 1200. Daniele woke up by 2 very nice armed soldiers at the one check point. I forgot to tell them she was there…I was outside joking with the Lieutenant and Sergeants…sorry…it’s a soldier thing. I don’t know who was more surprised! :-)
Went in the Mex side to turn in Visas and hologram for the Jeep. No line at all! Took time to find the guy to come to the lot remove the hologram. Then went to the US side. 3 cars ahead of us. Very nice agent checked our passports and sent us to secondary (all RV’s go to secondary). Two very nice, yet thorough, agents walked through the coach and sent us on our way, after admiring the dogs. From the time that we arrived on the Mex side to the time we departed the US inspection: 36 minutes!!!
Now at Naval Air Station Kingsville TX restocking. Heading towards Richmond starting Fri.
