driving to Mexico
He's a pretty good travel cat, but even poor Garfield has moments where he really doesn't like sitting in his cat bag... We have some sleepy treats on hand though that work wonders for the kitties. They're a must have item if you're driving with cats or taking them on a plane (or any form of transport, for that matter). The ones we have are herbal and chewable. ...

In January, 2017, we took off in our Prius with our two cats to drive from Nebraska to Tijuana and onward to the city of Guanajuato. The whole drive took 6 days, averaging about 10 hours of driving per day (including stops). Overall, the drive was pleasant, not too stressful at all, and scenic. There were plenty of rest areas to stop at along the way for people who are worried about that sort of thing ...
Wanna drive from Tijuana to Mexico City? You can do it! We drove from Tijuana to Guanajuato (about 3 to 4 hours north of Mexico City) in January 2017. It was a long drive, but it was uneventful and easy except for a few large pot holes. As of the time of this posting, we've never driven the highways between Mexico City and Guanajuato City, but we have taken the Primera Plus bus line and the ride was smooth ...
The roads are smooth and well-maintained just outside of Tijuana and the cities are modern. Overall, the entire trip from Tijuana to Guanajuato was easy and uneventful.Related Posts:Notes on Driving in Mexico: Tijuana to HermosilloNotes on Driving in Mexico: Hermosillo to MazatlanNotes on Driving in Mexico: Mazatlan to Guanajuato, MexicoDriving in Mexico: Is it really ...
Driving in the state of Guanajuato is a lot like driving in the United States. The toll roads were more expensive in this part of Mexico than they had been between Tijuana and Mazatlan, so be sure to pull out enough cash to get where you need to go. Our final destination was the city of Guanajuato, a friendly city right in the middle of Mexico that's utterly intoxicating and addictive...Related ...
On our first try, we blew past the Aduanas/Customs office at the US Mexico border in Tijuana, so we had to go back and try again to get our Banjercito vehicle permit. In this video, we're sitting in line in Tijuana waiting to return to the U.S. to give it another go. John talks through the Banjercito car permit process and the basic concept behind it: you're declaring your car so you have to stop at the ...
John hated to admit it, but before we got there, he was concerned about crossing the US Mexico border. He'd read all kinds of nonsense online and so, even though we've crossed borders from Jordan to Israel and from Thailand to Cambodia, he was afraid that the SanYsidro border crossing to Tijuana was going to be difficult, congested, and maybe even dangerous. In this video, John, Lydi, and I discuss all the ...
On our way to Tijuana, we stopped at Whole Foods to find some stuff to eat. But Lydian must look like a Whole Foods employees because Whole Foods customers from Colorado to New Mexico keep trying to chasing her down for help. We can't figure out why...maybe it's because we buy boxes of chocolate in bulk?Related Links:Notes on Driving in Mexico: Tijuana to HermosilloNotes on Driving in Mexico: ...
We had lots of time in the car to think and come up with stupid stuff, so Lydian and I decided that Garfield and Babylonia were "The Adventure Cats" (or something thereabouts). Who knew that they'd be such awesome little travelers. They made it all the way from western Nebraska to Tijuana without so much as a peep and then from Tijuana to Guanajuato, Mexico with only a few small protests at the beginning of ...
We'd read about protestors closing down toll booths and letting people through for free, but we hadn't seen any until we got close to Hermosillo. In this video, we drive through a toll booth for free and wave to some protestors.The 2017 protests in Mexico were due to a gas price hike of 14-20% that went into effect on January 1st. We expected for the protestors to be angry, and in fact, I believe they ...
We arrived in Hermosillo, Mexico at night on our first visit to the city.
