borders
Going into this trip the one thing I was most concerned about what the days we had to cross borders. I had heard horror stories about spending six hours waiting for paperwork to clear. As it turns out it has taken less than 30 minutes to cross each border. It took as longer when we sold teh car obviously but I have already told that story. Remember to have the following at each border. Original title, registration, passport, birth certificate never hurts. Almost every border asks for copies of all these things. We stopped at kinkos in El Paso and made like 20 copies of each document. Very helpful... If the car title is not in your name you need some type of permission note from the title holder. Other than that its not so tough... The tollroads are pricey in Mexico, specifcally around Mexico city, but the roads are great, huge four lane raods and you can fly. You still save money by not taking expensive busrides. If you can pick up fellow travellers on the way you can all split the toll and it wont be as bad... good luck
