I knew a guy 30 years ago that drove all over Mexico, had no problems but don’t ever drive at night, it’s not safe is what he said, get a room in a good spot and stay in it.

I just googled is driving in Mexico safe, first thing that came up was never drive at night.

We got on westjet in saskatoon yesterday morning at 10:30 and were in the vehicle on our way to our house north of p.v. In less than 5 hours. You gotta love driving to do it any other way. And yes, don’t drive ar night.

I have two cousins with a few individual stories about driving in Mexico.
Not even maybe.

I am not sure why you would want to do a 45 hr drive instead of a 5 hr flight.

My 77-year-old neighbor who spends his Winters in Mexico drove down last year with a motorhome towing a minivan.
Ended up with lots of good stories to tell. Adventures with borders, police, breakdowns armed guards, the generosity of the locals, and the fun that results from documents not issued for the vehicles or the driver.
He says that is the last time he will ever try driving to Mexico. But doesn't regret going for the adventure once.

Have some younger friends who did it a few years ago and had lots of fun. Drove a crappy old truck with the assumption that they wouldn't be targets of criminals that way.

Life is the journey, not the destination.
