I am leaving for Guatemala from Michigan. It's a 3500 mile (5600 klicks) trip and I for one am very interested in MikeMike's posts. I think Sjoerd is the bomb (bought his handy guides) too.
I would like to get contact info from ex-pats and residents as I travel through so I can reach-out if I run into trouble. My travel outline (very loose) is enter at Nuevo Laredo, travel down 85, swing around on 57, 70 back to 85 and the ruins at Tula and Teotihuacan. To Veracruz and Oaxaca then along the coast to Tapachula to cross into GT then over to Lake Atitlan.
I am keeping an open mind and schedule so fire away and tell me the "can't miss places" and the "avoid if possible areas"
If anybody out there is a friend of Bill W. I'd like to meet up with you!
