Almost arrested at the border and lots of damagae to our RV

Missing Stephanie, she was so much more than another pretty face, wishing her peace and prosperity in her future..

[@RobDeHaven]

Wow that is crazy and glad the US border patrol gave you sound advice that worked out for you. Steph, if you read this, it was so lovely being able to get to know you and see you and Bobby enjoying traveling together. Life changes and you made a decision that was in your best interest. I hope you're doing well in school now and enjoying college life. I hope at some point when your life is in a different place again, you will be able to show back up in an adventure with Bobby on a boat or RV trip. Best of luck to you.

Unfortunately there are issues like this with some Mexican authorities who use their positions to pad their own pockets, but it's not nearly as common as the media would have people believe (only the bad stuff makes the news). I've crossed regularly for over 8 years without any issues at all. Someday maybe it will be my turn, but I love the country and wouldn't let an unfortunate incident like this keep me from spending time there.

[@PAA2FLY]

I lived in Mexico. Guadalajara. It’s all about playing the corrupt game. When I flew for a major airline, they targeted the crew, especially with iPads! You could only bring one. Well most crews have the company ipad and a personal iPad. When corrupt Mexican government officials started confiscating iPads, crews gave them the company iPad. Soon 🔜 flight were cancelled due to not having the proper equipment on the plane, the iPad, to fly! Next think you know it, it got fixed! The corrupt Mexican officials wanted you to pay duty on the extra iPad too!

Steph was great. So sorry to see her go. But many (all) of the women that have passed through Bobby's life on this channel never aspired to sail (with Bobby, in Taylor's case) indefinitely. Meagan only signed on for a definite term. Laura and Bobby split for unstated reasons, She went back to nursing, and moved on. Taylor only signed on for 9(?) months. Gee vacations with Bobby but has a life elsewhere. Steph has aspired to other adventures in life. Individual choices; nothing negative about any of them. This video nicely explains why I would NEVER go to Mexico. NEVER.

I would not have walked or driven back to Mexico once in the United States. Contact the Passport people and let them know what happened.

[@jamesriggsdds2337]

I have a enclosed car hauling trailer about the same size as your motorhome. It’s roof delaminated just like your roof did. It’s caused by the flexing up and down longitudinally as you drive over bumpy roads (ie. most Mexican roads and all of Interstate 40 in the USA.). The turn down flange on the roof is sealed and screwed to the sides and isn’t able to over come the flexing. The screws rip out of the sidewall and also usually rip thru the metal/fiberglass of the roof. Obviously this has happened before and certainly will happen again as it’s driven. Also, friends of mine had their passports stolen out of the safe in their resort room last (and certainly the LAST time they are going to Mexico) time they visited over the border south. 🙈🙈🥵

I hadn't done any international travel before and drove into Canada. I'm sure thousands of people go across the border without any issue every day, but I found the signs on the drive up to the border unclear, with acronyms I didn't understand and arrows pointing this way and that. There were several lanes wide open so I just took the closest one. I randomly picked the wrong one. They made me pull over and answer some questions but I was back on the road 15 min later. On the way back I'm following the cars in front of me, doing exactly what those cars were doing, and the guy comes out the booth and starts yelling that I was blocking some kind of sensor and drove through a stop sign. There was no freaking stop sign, I assure you. There was some badly eroded yellow paint on the ground but if it once said stop that was long ago. He blew off steam for a minute telling me that he should have me pull out and undergo some 3 hour process. I just stayed cool and apologized explaining that I was a first time traveler, new to the border, and appreciated his instructions. With that I got on my way. I'm probably just an idiot but I'm 100% positive with a little effort and investment in good signs they could fix these issues that must make them hate their jobs.
