So I checked into the temporary residence option for our situation and hit a road block in that we have to show (via bank statements) we have enough money to support ourselves (ie: $1500/month US or $25 000 in the bank).
Since we are not retired/well off yet we can't show either one of those.
Plus we have limited time in Mexico per trip (as we have to get back to work) so spending time at the MX consulate is not our first choice or an option.
Looks like we'll be rolling the dice when we return in March for another 2 weeks of riding. Hopefully we can cancel our TVIP, store the bikes again and be able to fly home.
