Sorry I have been out of touch after your request for information about the Pilgrimage to Mexico. The main reason you haven’t heard from me is we haven’t had any new details. Here is a bunch of information. If you have questions please drop me a note.
1) Dates: The dates are firm. August 12th -21st You should arrive sometime on the 12th and plan to leave sometime on the 21st.
2) Transportation: Because people are coming from so many different places, you are responsible for your own transportation. Jerry and I will arrive on 11th to make sure everything is ready for arrival. You would need to arrive into the Mexico City airport sometime on the 12th. We are planning on being back in Mexico City the night of the 20th. You are then free to leave anytime you would like. Most people will be heading home on the 21st. Make the travel plans the make the most sense for you.
3) Cost: All of your expenses in Mexico will be less than $500 (and we still think this is a very high estimate that also includes donation). This estimate does include food, but does not include souvenirs or libations. More exact numbers will come in the next two weeks.
4) Ground transportation: At this point we are planning to take public transportation (such as busses from city to city). If the group is large enough we will rent a van. Jerry is looking in to rentals as we speak.
5) Language: Yes we will be traveling with people who do speak Spanish. It is not a requirement that you speak Spanish.
6) Places of visit: Everywhere we are going Jerry has been to in the past.
What is the next step? We need to have an idea of who is coming, so we can make arrangements. Drop me a note with your level of interest at this point. Also please pass the word to others who might want to come.
