bcr, you will enjoy Mexico. For yourslves, it looks like you would enjoy one or more travel companions. Driving into Mexico would be a bit of a challenge, but nothing you could not do alone. But just to allay reasonable negative thoughts you have lots of time to find travel companion(s). Put the word out about your particular dates and destinations, right here, and you should reel in something concrete. Caravans? maybe not your cup of tea, they want you to stay with them there and back, but you want to stay in one place for a considerable duration, so not sure if any caravan might deviate. If one will, maybe they will message you. Otherwise, looking for like-minded travelers going your way, and in your time, should be your best bet. This period until late August is the off-season for using this forum, so it may take a while. Keep at it, and good luck.
