   I think you are really spelling it out – this will make an awesome resource for those thinking of heading down south Sounds exciting! I like the tip about not speaking Spanish at all. I found the same thing when I tried to speak Russian abroad, they would attempt to ask more questions and such. Very annoying.

   Very good points. Mexico sounds tough to drive through. But if people follow your points, I think that it can be done safely. Thanks for sharing, we have always had this romantic dream about driving from Toronto through to Central America. Maybe we will get around to it one day with you as inspiration!

    I appreciate the time you took to put your post together. I’ve been trying to detective work this for a while that’s how I came accross your site. It seems like there is so much conflicting things around. Other than your own understanding do you have other resources that you’ve been able to put together? In any case I’ve bookmarked this post so I can follow the thread.
