Driving north

[tjrosa]

First of all, we would suggest crossing at Del Rio (Ciudad Acuna on this side) and stay away from Laredo and surrounds if this does not take you too far out of your way. It's doable in 12 hours (vs. 11 to Laredo). We prefer weekends, the wait at the various check points between here and the border seem to be less. We travel round trip twice yearly, to New Mexico, and go out of our way to avoid Juarez. Also, there is never much of a wait at Del Rio, 30 minutes at most unless it is a major holiday. Good luck!
