Dear Lauren,

Here I am, sitting in Business Class Mexicana flight 183 with destination Guadalajara, writing to you. I’m almost there. My arrival, however, is a day later than planned. What this means of course is that we have one day less to fulfil Nicky’s audaciously-planned itinerary: we now have not even two weeks to get from Guzman to the border, and back. I hope that he managed to pick up my message...
Querida Lauren,

Pues aquí estoy, sentado en la clase ejecutiva del vuelo 183 de Mexicana con destino a Guadalajara, escribiéndote. Ya casi estoy allá. Mi llegada, sin embargo, tendrá un día de retraso, lo que significa que  tendremos un día menos para llevar a cabo el itinerario audaz de Nicky: ahora no será posible contar con las dos semanas que habíamos planeado para ir de Guzmán a la frontera, y regresar. Espero que haya recibido mi mensaje...

DAY 1:  
CIUDAD GUZMÁN – COLIMA

(61km (40 miles), total 61km (40 miles))

This is an account of two foreigners trying to experience as much of Mexico as possible. David and I had been living in the state of Jalisco for the best part of six months, involved in volunteer journalism projects in the town of Ciudad Guzmán, but we decided to finish a week early in order to try and take advantage of the limited time we had left. We did the basics; saved enough money, planned a vastly audacious itinerary, and then of course the logical progression from there was to purchase a vehicle to take us on this epic journey. And the word on the street was that the border town of Tijuana was the place to find a cheap car, so impulsively we decided to take a flight north, with the idea of returning via the infamous Baja California highway all the way to Jalisco...

DÍA 1: 
CIUDAD GUZMÁN – COLIMA

(61km, total 61km)

Esta es una historia de dos extranjeros que querían conocer lo más amplio posible de México. David y yo estábamos viviendo en Jalisco durante casi seis meses, donde nos involucramos en proyectos de periodismo en Ciudad Guzmán, pero decidimos terminar una semana antes para intentar aprovechar el limitado tiempo que teníamos. Arreglamos las cosas básicas; ahorramos suficiente dinero, y planeamos un itinerario muy audaz. Lo lógico era comprar un vehículo para viajar en él. La gente nos decía que Tijuana era el lugar más apropiado para comprar un carro barato, entonces impulsivamente decidimos tomar un vuelo al norte...
