RE: Do you take the time to continue your educatio Trip to Veracruz and you'll see one of our convoy buddies passing us as we stopped to help out a broken down jeep w/Americans LOL....unsafe load ??? the docks where we off-loaded:

RE: Do you take the time to continue your educatio The mis-conceptions in regards to traveling Mexico are beyond me. I guess one needs to actually do it before truly understanding the risk. We have an umbrella from Hartford that covers us against any issues we'd encounter in Mexico. Wev'e had...

RE: Do you take the time to continue your educatio Interesting question: Both my co-driver and I are taking Spanish lessons. [on CD] Wer'e in our 7th month and have done very well for a couple of old farts. We practice when given the chance on any Hispanic thats aproachable. Needless to say...
