They said it....
“This is one of the best and most comprehensive books I have seen about travelling in Mexico. It is full of interesting cultural facts, points about etiquette, and even how best to haggle with vendors without insulting anyone. It was recommended by our University's Study Abroad Director and was well worth the investment. Would advise anyone going to Mexico to buy this book and study it well.

Atlanta to La Paz
September 28, 2009 | 1 Comment
Hello…we need help! My husband and I are heading out for a 4 month stay in La Paz, B.C. Sur. We leave Atlanta, GA on Jan.1st driving with our 2 dogs and cat. Any advice on the safest driving route once we cross into Mexico? Our plan is to enter Mexico through El Paso and drive to the Baja Ferry…Topolobampo terminal, Los Mochis.
Thanks, Karen

You might want to take a look at proceeding to Tecate and then starting your trip at Ensenada. The Baja peninsula is beautiful and you will pass by attractions that will be difficult to leave.
Your other option is not so easy because the most pragmatic route across Mexico is via Chihuahua, ciudad cuauhtemoc and over to Hermosillo — I don’t think that this is the safest route these days. From Hermosillo you´d go south to Los Mochis then cut over to Topolobampo and spend a couple hundred dollars on the ferry to La Paz. Yet another option via the ferry is to head down to Guaymas and then take the ferry to Sta Rosalia.
Hope This Helps!
