Question To Veracruz

Short simple trip from McAllen to Veracruz. I'm planning on staying in Veracruz 2-3 nights before returning. I'm looking for hotel recommendations between McAllen and Veracruz.

I know exactly how to get to Veracruz!

Stay at the hotels I suggested, and you'll have a great time. The one in Tuxpan is a block away from a restaurant with happy hour from 6 to 10. The one in Veracruz is just plain awesome. There's tons of good food too so you'll be fine.

This forum is a little different from advrider. More hard-core. Fewer posseurs and wannabes. More international. More off-the-cuff. You're going to like it here very much.

But why stop in Veracruz? San Cristobal de las Casas is only a day's ride from Veracruz. Take the toll roads ($50!) and you'll make awesome time. Of all the cities I've seen in Mexico, San Cristobal de las Casas is way way way the coolest. You won't see many americans at all. You will see tiny indians and tall Mexican hippies

Yeah Bananaman;
I appreciated your response over on AdvRider. I figured I'd look over here too, but it seems my trip is too mundane for these folks. As to why stop in Veracruz, I'm traveling with two other guys who have more restrictive job situations than I do. They are self employed (contactor & attorney), so "no workee, no payee". Plus, I'm taking the wife to France in June for a self guided canal cruise, so thats time that has to be accounted for as well. I already spent a week in Mexico in January, so I'm eating into my 5 weeks of vacation.
I will, however look into San Cristobal.
Thanks

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
