Thanks again for all the replies to my first post regarding a first
trip to Mexico...
I have a few more questions (for now)...
1. I understand I need proof of US citizenship and ID. I have no
passport and don't plan on needing one in the near future again (and
may be running out of time for application), so an alternate proof of
citizenship would be my preference if possible. What can I do?
Something with a birth certificate, I hear? What is the process?
2. Is it truly not recommended to drive/rent a car?
3. Following up on #3, how about the bus system? This sounds like
planning an itinerary could be a challenge without knowing bus
schedules in advance. For instance, how long should one allow from DF
to Oaxaca, or Acapulco, etc... Any suggestions on finding schedule
info/travel times between cities?
4. I also wonder about accommodations. I'm tempted to reserve only
first and last nights and wing the rest in between in favor of a
flexible itinerary/bus schedule concerns.
5. Would anyone suggest an airport entry point other than Mexico City
for a trip that may include Mexico City to Oaxaca to Acapulco and
maybe even Veracruz....
6. Now this question may sound down-right silly, but does Mexico use
the same point-of-use electrical specs (120 VAC, 60Hz)? Otherwise this
gringo needs to learn to use a razor blade...
thanks for any assistance!
