Het TR,be safe with the travels,a friend was in nuevo progresso near south padre island tx a few days ago,and the locals there are telling the tourist’s to leave before dark due to the zetas doing random drivebys. Laredo should be alright during the day and definitely stay on the toll roads as long as you can.Dont forget to buy mexico insurance for the vehicle,last time I drove in mex we got to the border at 5a.m. and by 7am we were on the road to puerto vaallarta.I realize you are headed due south you should make san luis potosi in 8 hrs from laredo.here’s a link with maps.http://www.virtualmex.com/mexico_state_map.htm

http://www.milebymile.com/Today my wife and I were talking to some Mexican friends and they said we should be fine, just get across the boarder, get thru Neuvo Leon, get on the told road, get off of the roads before dark.
We might attempt this departure around the 15th or so.

Good luck n God Bless. Keep us posted on your endeavours.
kWell today we decided we might start looking at other options.
So we are going to start shipping our house hold goods and a car down to Costa Rica. Mexico is still to risky to drive with the family down. Its more than a 50/50 chance that you would get pulled over by the Zetas and not the police on the major highways from the boarder to Monterey. 🙁 So we decided to possibly forgo the road trip until next year if the situation gets better.[quote=”ticorealtor”]Well today we decided we might start looking at other options.

Some friends just got back on Sunday from a surf trip to la ticla and they had no problems at all.Not sure how buying a car in mex would work out once ya got down there,might end up being a paperwork headache.[quote=”nedahall”]I want to be driving down in September. I will be alone so I really am looking forward to driving caravan. If I can’t I’ll sell my car and fly.:?:[/quote]
we are also looking to drive in September. We live in Florida, maybe we could hook up. Please advise.
[quote=”ticorealtor”]My family and I are driving around the 29th or so of July.
Leaving from the States, we will cross in Laredo TX[/quote]
My husband and I are thinking of driving in September, we have two dogs. Please let me know how your trip went
We haven’t left yet! After doing some sitting and waiting for the boarder issues, we are now looking at taking a different path. Hopefully we will be down there around the second week of September.
We were going to drive down there with our dog and cat with our 3 year old daughter. So we have to take extra precautions and planning.
