Snowbird Prices (RANT)
This is just a rant, but maybe someone can clear it up for me: How do Snowbirds afford Florida in the Winter? The DW and I are taking 2014 off to travel in our MH, and our DD wants us to Join them...

Wow, that seashore spot in Mexico looks beautiful. But, is it safe to go into Mexico? And where do folks camp if they do cross over? Would my S&W companion be a problem?
Well, safe is a relative word. You can't paint any country with one brush. Is it safe to camp anywhere in Canada or the US, certainly not. You need to be informed of problem areas and avoid them. Travel by RV in Mexico is very rewarding and in many ways different from travelling in the two neighbours to the north. The majority of Mexican camping is done in camp grounds just like it is north of the border. There is some boondocking and there are a few members on the board that are avid boondockers in Mexico. In my opinion one needs to be well informed for this approach to camping in any country. If you are going with a very large rig you need to be well informed on where you are going as many of the campgrounds were designed in the 60's and 70's and can be tight for large rigs. We travel in Mexico in a smaller class C. 400 year old perfectly preserved spanish cities can also be difficult to drive in. But this is what makes RVing an adventure. If you are really interested in RVing in Mexico consider posting on the RVing in Mexico forum. Indicate you are a newbie to Latin American travel, what you drive and what you hope to see and do. There will be lots of enthusiastic and experienced RVers who travel in Mexico to assist you. Mexico is without a doubt the source of all our most memorable RV trips. We love travelling in the US and Canada but its just not the same as travelling in this amazing country. If you like foreign culture, architecture, history, amazing scenery and friendly people you will LOVE Mexico. Can't wait to get back in January.
Here is a link to Angelas website she keeps up to let family know what we are up to. There are links to our trips on the Baja as well as the mainland. We have driven through 27 of the 31 Mexican states. We would like to go back and see the Federal District (Mexico City) but it will have to wait for a fly in trip as RV parks are pretty much non existent in the big Tamale.
Hasta luego.
