Driving from Texas to Guatemala - need a ride?
My wife, daughter, and I are moving to Guatemala City in July. We've purchased a 1998 Toyota 4Runner in Texas that we're presently using, and I plan to drive it down to Guatemala, leaving about July 15. My wife and daughter already have their plane tickets purchased, so they will fly this time while I handle the paperwork to get the truck imported.
I'm looking for someone to travel with me that needs a ride to share fuel costs and for safety (mostly safety). I'd be staying in hotels with secure parking, along the lines of a Best Western or other secure hotel. I'll have a pretty full load, so just 2-3 suitcases, please. I would like someone who is at least functional in Spanish (negotiable).
I'll be leaving from Tyler, TX, but could pick someone up along major highways on the way down (Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi, etc., basically anywhere along US-59, US-77, or I-35). I plan on crossing at Brownsville to Mexico and Tapachula to Guatemala.
I could meet someon at the above locations or somewhere generally along the northern coastal route (Matamoros, Tampico, etc).

Serious inquiries only, please.
