Description
Why does a 50-something year old woman with four dogs and a beloved Volkswagen Beetle, drive from Alaska to Mexico – and back? In October 2008, Karen and her four dogs loaded up her beloved VW in Homer, Alaska and headed south in search of the sun. Along the way they meet an Italian piercing doctor, sign-up with the Diet Center, hitch a ride on a tow truck from Nogales, Senora to Nogales, Arizona, hire a fitness coach, become runners, get stranded in the huge city of Hermosillo where no perros are allowed in hotels, hike a monstrous rock face mountain, learn some Spanish and have the international adventure of a lifetime. South of the border they found adventure in the land of sun, sand, tequila and beautiful people.
