It very much can be done, you just need to be prepared! My wife and I always used to drive on our vacations. We didn't really like flying, and driving is such a nice way to see scenery.

We drove through Mexico a couple of times, and it vary much is do-able; you just have to be prepared. First, you need to know how to ration out your gasoline. It get really hot in Mexico, so you may need to turn your AC off incase you start running low on gas.

And because you have a dog with you (we took our dog with us twice, he's a black lab) you should have lots and lots of water at all times, and a fan. If you can, bring a couple of cold packs (the kind you freeze and they last for a few hours) in a cooler with ice (pop the water in there too). Why?

We had our ac break down a few times, and if you bring a personal fan and start it up, then place the cold pack in front of it, it cools you down very quickly, for very convenient relief! (Battery operated fans here: batterysavers.com/index.html) Also in case you need to shut off your ac (like I said before) fans come in handy! For your dog, have lots and LOTS of water.

Dogs get hot very quickly, especially the furrier ones (lots your Cocker Spaniel) I would bring some packs of wet food as well as dry food. For our dog we bought 6 packs of wet food. Three went in the cooler (gave him lots of relief on hot drives) and three didn't.

But also bring lots of dry food (the last thing you need is a dog with stomach problems! ) Don't forget your camera and lots of film/memory cards. Driving through south and Central American can be so much fun, but be prepared!

Good luck and all the best! Sources: opinion .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
