Answer 1 :
maybe the bus or a plane. Not driving of course.
Answer 2 :
If you plan to go by Train - from Albuquerque to Chicago is $172 one way, from Chicago to Fort Wayne you would have to find other way to get there than train, it is about 200 miles. but you could rent a car in the train station. You do not say whether this is one way or round trip, but this is a relatively cheap way to go, pretty fast. Car rental would be around ~$35 per day. So you could do it for just over $200. If you were to take the car - your own or rent - it would be 1405 miles, which would take ~24 hours to drive and if you used $0.30 per mile, that would be $421.50 - if it was your car, and car rental $35 per day.

About what is the best way to travel from Albuquerque, New Mexico to La Paz, Mexico

What is the best way to travel from Albuquerque, New Mexico to La Paz, Mexico?
At first I wanted to drive down to San Diego and then down the Baja peninsula to La Paz. Then, a friend of mine mentioned that a better and shorter way is to drive to Mazatlan and then to take a ferryboat across to La Paz. In checking out the Atlas I can see that Mazatlan is quite a bit south of La Paz and that the ferry boat would be backtracking. Do you have some other suggestions for best routes from Albuquerque to La Paz?

Answer 1 :
Yes .... the ferry to take leaves from Topolombanpo near Los Mochis and only takes about 9 hours. The ferry from Mazatlan takes 18 hours. The problem with taking the ferry is you need to register your car for mainland Mexico (money, time and paperwork) and the ferry costs about $100us for car plus a passenger fare of about $60
