Dear FML, I am sure that this question has been asked many times, but I have been out of the country for 3 years, sailing with my ferrets. Friends will be driving from Washington State to Mexico later this year and would like to hear of the experience of others, especially such things as hassle free routes to take upon entering California. Please email me if you have any information to ease their minds about this trip. I sure do hate it that this subject even has to come up! Anon, temporarily in CA [Posted in FML issue 3246]
