    That's a good tip about the Ajo Radio Shack. I didn't know that. Thanks.

    border crossing - anything new since last year?

    Ok, I have done some serious research on this matter, and can recommend the deli in the IGA at Ajo as having the worlds best ice cream...made on site. Last time I was through there was June 2016 and this was still true at that time. Of course I have to take new samples each time I am there.

    Where to buy a wifi extender

    Hi everyone. Are there any stores in Puerto Penasco likely to sell wifi extenders? If more than one, where would you go? Thanks!

    Is buying a condo a good investment?

    I am sure everyone will have their own opinion about whether prices will rise, fall, or stay the same. I believe they have been generally increasing over the last year or so. But I do want to point out a couple of important considerations: the value of currency and transaction fees and taxes...

    princessa pools

    There is a hot tub that is heated year round...obviously. But the main swimming pools are not heated. I understand one was kept heated through the winter until a year or two ago but there just weren't enough people wanting to swim to make the expense worthwhile.

    What is your favorite restaurant for breakfast?

    Kaffee Haus also gets a vote! I had the bacon/eggs/pancakes combo yesterday and it was excellent! 3 of us had big brunch sized breakfasts (2 with coffee and 1 with orange juice) and the bill was $340 pesos.

    Shrimp Buying

    Well, I assumed the scale might be rigged a little. How much do you think it is off? You indicate the price for the other scale goes up by $1...so maybe 12%. Is the scale likely off by more than 12%?

    Restaurant Map

    Nice job! The Princesa is beside the Sonoran Spa on the east side, and on the Princesa grounds there is a great little restaurant called Colin's Cantina. I believe they have two-for-one cheeseburgers on Monday, and two-for-one nachos on Wednesdays. The restaurant is open to the public...not...

    Verizon in Mexico!

    I just returned to Canada from a 2 month visit to Mexico...Puerto Penasco, Lake Chapala, Guadalajara and points in between. On the way down I picked up a T-Mobile SIM for my iPhone 5S and put it on the new (as of July 2015) plan that provides for free everything in Mexico, US and Canada. The...

    Passport expiry

    I have traveled to at least one country where their immigration rules stipulated that there must be at least 6 months between the date of entry and the expiry date on a passport. I.e. if the expiry is imminent (less than 6 months away) they are concerned it may expire before you go home and...
