Guest blogger Ingrid Reyes-Arias sounds ready to pack her bags!
I’ve recently discovered how much I love to travel! It can be either extremely difficult or easy to plan for a trip. My first few travel journeys were a disaster and I didn’t enjoy myself as much as I could have. I do plan everything, but if you’re anything like me, you don’t always leave room for unexpected problems. Now, wouldn’t it be great for someone else to plan your trip and give you useful tips? Well, if you’re a recent college graduate like me, that’s probably not the most money-saving option. So why not buy a booklet that has it all?
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs has provided the American public with a guide, Tips for Travelers to Mexico, which is a great asset in any trip to Mexico.
This guide begins with important information on “How to Have a Safe and Healthy Trip.” There’s information on important things to know before you go, the U.S. Consular Information Program, health-related topics, safety tips, information on traveling using your car or a rental car, crime, and how to avoid legal problems.
Not only does the guide provide this information, it also lists useful resources, such as the American Embassy, in case you lose your passport, contact information for U.S. Consulates General in different parts of Mexico, and U.S. Trade Centers. If, for some reason, you decide to purchase wildlife or wildlife products, this book provides a list of items that could be confiscated and possibly subject you to a fine because they are prohibited from international traffic.
I would suggest getting this travel guide for your next trip to Mexico and taking it everywhere you go. If you’re on a budget but need information, take the time to read over Tips for Travelers to Mexico and then pass it on to help others on their journeys. You can browse through it here or get your own copy via the GPO Bookstore. Note: Since this is an older publication, for the latest State Department information on travel to Mexico, go to this page.

This booklet was written in 1998. How relevant is it for travel to Mexico in 2010 with the drug problems, etc?
