We spent our last night in the USA in a Holiday Inn in San Antonio, Texas. We were tired from the longer than expected drive and cranky as we had no success at the embassy in Houston.
The hotel was tired and sorely on need of a revamp, however they did have a working business centre where we were able to do printing and a million photocopies. As we now had to do the car permit at the Mexican boarder, we had read on blogs, they can ask for any type of ID and other information, (insurance, car titles) and for multiple copies of each. We also needed to download OpenStreetMap maps (free) of Mexico and Central America for our Garmin GPS (Nuvi 52). We were able to do both.
We went to bed ready, but not knowing what to expect. We were a bit apprehensive about crossing the boarder and discussed staying one more night in San Antonio to ensure we were 100% prepared. Because the hotel was so crap, we bit the bullet and left for Mexico the next day.
Next stop: Mexico (we hoped!!)
