With only three weeks to work with it should be possible to do a decent bit of Mexico if you make a mad dash across to the TexMex border .I can usually do it in 4 long riding days from Ontario so from NC you should be looking at about 3 , less if you really push it on the Interstates.. That wil still give you 2 weeks for Mexico. Good enough for a loop down the east coast to Veracruz and west up Mex 150 Libre, around Mexico DF ,Teotihuacan ruins and pyramids then up the center back to the US . The trick is to pace yourself, if time runs out you will still be within a 2 day ride of the US.There is enough to see and keep you entertained for lots more time . Think about including highway Mex 85 either direction which is really a great bike road from Ciudad Valles south and then spectacular south of Tamazunchale . Maybe cut across to San Luis Potosi and then north back to Texas . This will give a good cross section of Mexico- hot coastal area, tropical forests, deserts.
All the ferries from Florida turned out to be poorly organized flops, the market is not there yet.
