We were up at 4:00 am and on our way by 5:05 am with a cup of coffee for me and a Red Bull for Darren. About 40 miles from Laredo TX to fill up with gas and had a Subway breakfast, not to our liking but it was something to eat. It cost us $3.50 at the US border to get in Mexico. Next we weren’t sure where to go to get the Mexico paper work done. We stopped at money exchange Where Darren got some money exchanged and ask a guy that was there for money exchange if he knew where to go and he said he was on his way there and we could follow him. I waited in the car with Harper while Darren went in to get his paper work done. When he came back it was my turn. Long story short it took us three hours, long lines to wait in. We had eighteen miles to drive before crossing through Mexican customs and figured we would be tied up there for an hour or more. But when we got there they just waved us on through without stopping. We had another good day as the 4 runner ran well and no problems. We did drive through a lot of rain in the afternoon, also hail and then a dust storm and more rain. We had planned on staying at Guadalajara for the night. Well it was 12:30 am when we got there and would be well after 1:00 am before getting settled in a room. So we made the decision to drive straight though to Puerto Vallarta and arrived at 5:15 am. We stopped at Wal-Mart which is open 24 hours a day. Darren pick up a few things we needed this morning. It was 6:30 am when we got to Darren and Brooke’s new place. At 7:00 am Darren texted the realtor and she came right over with the keys so we could get in. This is the reason that the Blog is late today. I will try to have pictures posted tomorrow.
