Sammysdream–your “dream” drive to CR is something that I have considered and am considering doing in the next 1-2 years. I would love more details on the route, problems at border crossings, costs of fuel and hotels, and of course any other issues you may have experienced. I would welcome info directly to my email or shared publicly for the rest of the forum. At present, I am looking to purchase a vehicle similar to “yours” (2001 pathfinder) to bring down. We are not “ready” to retire, and so the “car” would be parked for most of the year. Honestly, I am still struggling with all the pros and cons of shipping it down, driving down or simply buying one in CR and would love to start a new thread on “driving down to CR”.
joesammy made it! congrats.
i might consider it with some of my very big buddies, but i’d never ever drive through mexico with any female onboard unless i wanted to risk witnessing a rape right before my very own eyes.
the cons have to out number the pros, no doubt in my mind.
From reading hundreds of posts over the years on various forums on this topic, [i]sammysdream[/i], was the [b]only one who posted anything on their actual experience[/b].
sammysdream,
Could you elaberate on your driving experience to CR. Many of us, myself included, are/have considered doing the same.I wonder if sammysdream is aware of our request.
Maybe Scott could contact him/her and ask if they are willing to “elaborate” on the trip or even write-up an article on the experience. Should anyone else reading the thread and knows sammysdream’s email could also contact them and make them aware of the interest some of us have.
With thanks.
