Tucson, AZ

After a night in Peoria (Phoenix), we drove on down to Tucson, found a suitable hotel and settled in for two days of preparation for the next big part of the adventure – Mexico! We purchased automobile insurance for Mexico. Ann did all the photocopying (massive amounts for officials at the border) on the hotel machine, used a third of a ream of paper and the hotel refused to charge us anything. We did laundry, repacked all the suitcases, researched all of our routes and hotels, caught up with our blog and generally dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. Our plan is to drive south of Tucson to Tubac and Green Valley where we will likely wait until Tuesday morning before crossing the border at Nogales.
