I hate cities, too, but I think you can get on the toll road right away after crossing the border.

The boat will be sailed down.

I did 8600 miles of US backroads this year and love winding, isolated, 2 lane roads, so I don't think that will be a problem.

So the truckers put on their left blinker to say it's good to pass?

I need a visa because I am staying so long. It is my plan to travel all over the peninsula once we get the boat down there, so I think I'm better off having it. Anyway, I had to have it to register the car and boat.

I've looked at the ferry, but I'm not sure yet. I may go back up to the US and then down from there, either through Texas or Arizona. Do you know anyone who has done the ferry?

The more research I have done, the more I am convinced that it's safe. I'm still not sure about central america, though. I've thought of dressing like a nun for that trip, lol.

Agree totally about attitude and trying to communicate. That's been my experience everywhere I have been.
