I'm really glad we took the Topo ferry; it was 5 hours vs 15 from/to Mazatlan and 5 hours was perfect for us. We were just starting to get bored when we were pulling into port.<BR/><BR/>Mexico is known for spotty electricity; I'm surprised you weren't told that on your caravan. Many folk boondock the whole way (that's what my folks' caravan told them) and most people (us included) use a big electric thingamajig that cuts the supplied electricity out when it drops below a certain number and goes over a different number. I'll bet it has a name that isn't thingamajig, but that's about as techinical as I get. Water pressure in Mazatlan is iffy. They've been hit by a couple hard hurricanes recently and the tourist areas get almost all the water. The locals are very rationed.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262700116262217636noreply@blogger.com
