uptowngal, Thanks a lot. Please let me know once you talk to your brother. I am told they don't check your passport/visa when you go to Mexico from U.S. They only check it when you try to get in to U.S. Since, I already have a U.S. visa, that's not a problem. But if I get in a traffic accident or sth in Mexico, I am gonna be in trouble( I am going there just for 5 days). So I want to know the process of getting a visa...so that I don't regret later. Please let me know once you talk to your brother.
