I am trying to locate the site of the old Ramada Inn where I stayed back in the early 1970's. We used to race cars at the Autodromo de Monterrey and stay up on a hill north of town at the Ramada. It had a nice pool and a view back into the city but I can not find any reference to it or the location?? If you can direct me to where I stayed I would appreciate it? There was a large mountain behind it and barrio down below it. Any help is appreciated.

I am travelling to Monterrey City from Manila, Philippines. My travel agent booked me on flight from Manila - Japan - Mexico City and domestic flight to Monterrey, but I haven't confirmed the flight. My question is - Is there a flight that I can book that fly directly to Monterre via intl flight, but not transiting to any US state? I will be needing a transit visit if I go by any US state.

Any tips? 2) Worst come to worst, is the Int'l airport near Domestic airport? Is the intl to domestic transfer convinient?

Just recently, the US issued a warning about traveling between Monterrey and Texas, but my friend and I have already bought our tickets to McAllen. We are thinking of hiring a driver to come and get us and take us to Monterrey. Has anyone driven on the toll road lately? I know the US has a warning but thousands of people travel this road everyday, and I want to know, realistically, how safe it is. We would be going on the Mission bridge to avoid Reynosa completely.
