If you have never flown to Mexico before, one of the customary traits is to pick up your luggage and upon exiting that sector you have to press a button if you get a green light you keep on walking with no hassle unless suspected, but if you get a red light no matter what you get inspected. Your bags get re-searched and so do you. It is the same when driving across if you get the green you keep driving unless the border officers feel the need to pull you over and check you out. I had a feeling that no matter what we were going to get pulled over have the trailer towed behind us. I was right! We both had no clue what we were getting ourselves in to when crossing, time wise, money, hassle and stress. A very nice lady came to speak to us while other officers went looking around the trailer and truck. The officer ask us for our papers and for us to unlock the trailer. Brad got out and I got the requested paper work together. After about 20 mins we were free to go and all we had to do was pay 500 pesos on the contents in the trailer as they were possessions not coming back out of the country. I was shocked, when Brad told me that is all he had to pay and that we were free to go. No hassle, no stress, nice people who were doing there job as I would be worried if they didn’t care to inspect the trailer, little money, and hardly any time taken up. Our first thing to do was get gas, buy a map and exchange our american for mexican pesos.
