Altitude sickness is honestly the part most people don’t respect enough - go slower than your ego wants you to, and keep sipping water even when you don’t feel like it helps a lot. I followed a similar approach during my prep and it made a big difference...

Honestly, biggest thing is getting your paperwork right the first time - Mexico’s process isn’t hard, but they’re strict with docs so double-check everything before your consulate visit.

That’s actually a solid deal for that area - Reforma gets pricey fast; I’d grab it soon though, those blocks tend to disappear last minute.

If you’re trying to keep it cheap, just take the UP Express - yeah it costs a bit more than TTC, but it’s way faster and honestly worth it after a flight.

It can feel rough the first time, but once you figure out layering + using TTC, it’s pretty manageable. Only real headache is icy sidewalks after fresh snow, so good boots make a huge difference.

Gas prices are the big one here, people are cutting back on trips and travel feels a bit slower -honestly, budgeting weekly instead of monthly has helped me stay sane.
