Alaska to Mexico Marathon.

We are well on the way to leaving New Zealand, 30th August, to Leavenworth via Los Angeles, Seattle and Renton, where we are getting the car off the wharf.

That may take a day or two. All of the research Steve undertook to arrange the insurance in the States and in Mexico have paid off handsomely, the savings being in the thousands of US dollars. The 3rd party insurance in Mexico is essential and was settled only three days ago! Very late in the piece, as without it we probably would have turned left at the border rather than attempt the Mexican portion of the rally without it.

We still need to obtain entry and exit documentation prior to entering Mexico as the authorities do not permit applying for same 30 days prior to entry. So we’ll have to do this on the run.

Otherwise, everything seems in order at this end and Steve can relax and I’m not getting excited until I get onto the ‘plane. Then it’ll be all go to drive to Leavenworth to catch up with the rally participants there. It’ll be good to catch up with rally goers from previous rallies. That’ll be really good. And looking forward to it.

So that’s all for now. We’ll keep you up to date as we move about.

Steve and Corgi.
