Pets in Mexico
Yes, you can bring your cats; no they are not quarantined. You can even bring the cat in
the plane cabin, with a soft airline approved carrier (sherpa or samsonite). It costs
about $100 for the extra carry-on/pet ticket, and if the pet is in the cabin with you you
won't have to worry about pet travel restrictions due to weather. Get a health
certificate from your vet dated within 10 days of your departure, and a health
card/certificate showing all the vaccinations. Make sure the cat has a rabies shot. The
customs people will ask you for a USDA animal form, which so far no one in the US has ever
heard of or been able to find, but tell the customs people you called the consulate in
your state and they said this would be sufficient.

Surviving a highway accident in Mexico
This was intended to be a straightforward article on driving to Nogales from Guadalajara and back, with information on tolls, distances, hotels, restaurants, etc. However, a young Chicano in a brand new truck changed all that on our return journey. Hence, the use of the word "accident" in the title of this piece. Our little escapade has been a salutory learning experience and perhaps I can pass on a few things we learned to people who might face similar difficulties some day.
