Drive through Mexico?

8 years ago
My husband & I are planning on moving to Nica shortly & am torn between driving from the states (in order to bring my vehicle, cat, & some stuff all in one swoop).

I've never driven through Mexico before & the research I've done shows many people run into trouble with fake police, cartels, poor roads, & other scary things. On the other hand I've also seen many great stories of doing the very same. I'm guessing the difference between the 2 is the path they took, their behavior, & preparedness.

My question is, has anyone made this trip from the States to Nicaragua? If so, what was your route? Do you have any tips of do's & don'ts? Any resources you would recommend we tap?

Any information is appreciated!
