Greetings to All.
Well, we arrived at Lake Chapala on June 12 and had a great stay, very eventful.
First event was my poor dog getting a 1" slice on her ear by some rogue Mexican mutt (2150 pesos).
Then on July 1, my poor husband got a thrombosis (blockage) in his lower intestine and had to be taken to Centro Medico Puerta de Hierro in Zapopan to have one metre of intestine where the blockage was, removed. He was in hospital for 3 weeks!! Lucky thing we had insurance so we didn't have to pay anything. So we learned about the medical/health system the hard way.
Anyway, it is time for us to go back to Canada now and we thought we would go thru Nogales, AZ rather than thru Laredo which is the way we came in.
So, my questions ...
Of course, any other suggestions and insight you can offer will be most helpful as usual. We are hoping to leave on Monday, August 31.
Thanks very much.
Julie

So, my questions ...
- How many days does it take to drive from Chapala to Nogales? We will have to stop and stretch our legs and walk our dog about every two hours because my husband has to keep his circulation going now that he is on blood thinners (coumadin).
- How many pesos will we need for gas (Ford Explorer) and toll booths?
- Which towns should we overnight in that a dog can be sneaked into?
Of course, any other suggestions and insight you can offer will be most helpful as usual. We are hoping to leave on Monday, August 31.
Thanks very much.
