What a great read! Our friends, Charlie and Cathy often entertain our Buses by the Beach crowd with Mexico tales from their 7 month Westy trip. It is amazing how many volks have made that journey and how there are not any horror stories. Glad you shared that story. Must be the April snow making people a little antsy.
