Mexico
I just came through Mexico, 6000 miles worth. It was a blast, I always felt safe, and the people were amazing. I am now in Antigua. I wouldn't want to miss baja-if you can help it. I think I only spent $130 for the ferry. I tried to take the overnight boat, but it wasn't running when I was there (April 09), neither was the ferry to Mazatlan. If you want to do Copper Canyon you would take the ferry to Topolabampa anyway, puts you a day away from the canyon area. I stopped over in Alamos and spent four days there, great place. I didn't go into the canyon but headed south to Mazatlan, then took Hwy 40 (I think) north through "the Devil's Backbone", an amazing road motorcycle road. That puts you into the interior of Mexico with some great colonial towns to visit, Guanajuato was excellent.
Make sure you stop at the border and get your tourist card, they won't tell you, you have to do yourself. You will need to get your temp. vehicle permit at the ferry dock south of LaPaz, can't buy a ferry ticket until you have it, and go thru aduana (customs).
Please look over my blog and hit me up with some specific questions, would love to help. I didn't go to the Yucatan, but came out thru Chiapis.
