Or rather there is a special branch of customs that deals with live animals. We brought two cats through the Cancun airport. They had their international papers from the vet back home, and it only took about forty minutes to get everything done. Still, the drive should take about two to three days. You need the same international form from the vet... any vet knows what that is. And when you come through the border, you should have no trouble as long as you have that.

I cannot find anything outside of the educational institutions, and your story was inspiring. If you have time, could you please respond with any suggestions or introductions to a family that is interested in hosting a visitor on a very tight budget. Thank you, Larry Dear Jason,

I remember Jason was so determined to get to Mexico he did not want to sleep. I drove for a while, he drove for a while, for a long long while. I said Jason, we have to get some sleep, we are going to have to stop and get a room. Nooo! he said, I have no money, we are close....we most get to Mexico. He did not have any money but he was sure determined to get where he wanted. I will always admire that. Gary Walding met with us in Brownsville and the three of us took turns driving. Once in Mérida we took Jason under our wing at the Institute of Modern Spanish, gave him Spanish classes and placed him with a host family (Mimi) in exchange for redesigning our webpage. Again Jason's determination was striking. He studied hard and learned Spanish while he worked day and night to make his best piece of art (our website). He made the best website a Spanish school could ask for (www.modernspanish.com). We have received so many good comments about our website, I can only say, thank you Jason. I truly wish you the best for you and your family. Miguel Cerón I was the one who gave Jason a ride from Dallas to Mérida.
