There is no doubt that flying to a destination is fast, and sometimes so affordable that you would not think of going somewhere by car or bus. However, have you ever thought about how much you are missing?  Think of all the site seeing or not that you have missed out on all your travel. I for one have seen a few cities around the world, and well of course I would not be able to get there without a plane, but once I am there, even if it takes half a day of travel on land, I will do it!  There is so much to see!!

Mexico is no different. There is a lot that is missed out when you travel to destination and then circle around the village or city.  Maybe jumping on a  bus and checking out the next small city or village is just the right thing to do. Now I would not recommend to just go to places randomly, do your research before going and ask your hotel for recommendations.  

However, unlike other less developed countries, Mexico has an excellent bus system and buses!  Depending on which ones you travel you have several first class options for bus lines.  They are equipped with air conditioning and tv's for those that want to veg out, but of course you would miss out on some site seeing.  In general seats are very comfy and have enough leg room, and typically recline more than airline seats.

Most of the big cities have central bus hubs that offer clean cafeterias, bathrooms, and selections to get from one city to the other.  So before you travel next to the destination in Mexico, take a map and see what other destinations you can squeeze into your travel by bus!

Yes, those are the first words learned by any astute traveler to Mexico.  Why, because Mexican beer is a survival and must have beverage, but not just when you are in Mexico, but around the world.

Did you know that in 2010 Mexico became the top exporter of beer in the world?  Yes, it did, just beating out Holland. 

It is so popular that Corona (from Mexico) is the equivalent of drinking a bud light in the United States, but with a little more sophistication adding a little lime and possible salt, as many of their other beers.

Other beer companies like Anheuser Busch have followed suit but with much less results, creating their own versions of salt or limed flavored beers (Bud Light Lime) or even Millers Chill.  

So what are some of the most popular Mexican beers?  Let's take a look at 7 of them below (Of course some of these also come in Light versions):

So now, there are others we could add to this list, but that is for our readers to choose.  Do you have a favorite?
