Backpacking GDL, DF, Oaxaca, Chiapas... uff!

Hola,

Hopefully I can explain my situation... We are in Guadalajara right now, and we are leaving to Mexico City around March 14, Our final goal is San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas or even Guatemala if we have enough time... We want our longer stay to be in Oaxaca.

So I want to plan our stops (from GDL to Oax at least) So GDL to Mexico City, from there I was thinking about stoping in Puebla, Cholula specifically, then I dont know; then Oaxaca, Oaxaca, like one day-night, then Puerto Escondido, we want to be in Pto Escondido for a few days (a week maybe?) for surfing and all, then go to Sn Cristobal, and then maybe Guate (how far is it?) then go to Tuxtla to catch our plain on March 31st... All that within 18 days...

So, this sounds reasonable to you? I am sort of mexican and my friend is German, we want to surf and see the country...

Any advice or encouragement welcome!

(and actually, we havent book anything, should we book a hostal in Oaxacas beach? We thought we would look once we are there cause we dont know where we would like to stay, I mean which beach, but maybe there will be a lot of people and we should book, maybe... Is Pto Escondido the best place to stay for 2 singles in a budget?)
