So just to give you the official results of our poll, There were 4 votes for route #1, there were 22 votes for route #2, and there were 17 votes for route #3. So route number 2 is the winner!
And so I've been fine tuning it a little bit. Here's what I've got so far...
We'll leave here (A) around the end of October and head to the Villa Corona waterpark (B). Maybe stay a couple of days unless they give us a good deal for a full week. Then to a little RV park in the country (C), probably only for an overnight stop. Then (D) the Koala Campground at the volcanic lake. Then (E) the Los Pinos RV park in the city of Tepic.
After that, it'll be down to the coast where we'll stop at a number of different places, and stay based on the best price. There are a lot of options for RV camping along the Pacific coast from San Blas to Puerto Vallarta so we'll just play it by ear as to where we stay and for how long at each one. Then further down the coast to Manzanillo, before heading inland to the Colima volcano where we want to hike to the top. Then, back to Hacienda Contreras for Christmas.
We'll be gone about six weeks in total. Sounds like fun, huh??!!
Sounds like a great trip. Looking forward to seeing pictures along the way.
ReplyDeleteThis trip sounds like a great choice! I can't remember what I voted for but the coast line would surely be involved. I hope you enjoy it as much as we all will! Buen viaje!
ReplyDelete*Gasp*! Yay! I think that was my choice. If it wasn't I'm saying it was anyway. A good mix of ocean and farm land is always nice.
ReplyDeleteThe winter tires are working just fine by the way. I know it's early to put them on, but they have to be on between Nov. 1st and April 15th. All season radial are also acceptable if they have "M & S" on the snow (Mud and Snow?)
Now...you don't HAVE to have the tires changed, as long as you park the car when it snows (unlike Quebec) and as long as you're not in an accident. No snows, no insurance. Eeee.
Yup - does sound like fun! Looking forward to coming along with you through the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's what I voted for. We'll enjoy traveling with you and looking at our pictures while we take some time to work and earn some money for our winter travels.
ReplyDeleteWe will be sad to miss seeing you in Mazatlan but having done your planned route I know it is a great choice.
