    5/6/12 Thank you all for everything!!

    What an awesome trip we had thanks to the wonderful people we met here on the forum! We feel so lucky to have had the "inside scoop" on the best places to eat and best places to visit! We absolutely LOVED visiting the deserted beaches on La Pinta estuary, ate the most delicious oysters...

    Federalies?

    We too met the Federales this past week. However, IN town. They set up a road block on (I think) Sinaloa and pulled people over to do random searches. Our friend in front of us was asked to get out of the car so they could look in, but they just spoke to us through the open window. Asked us...

    Asian Tiger Shrimp Invade U.S. Waters

    Dee-licious "colossal" shrimp! I grabbed a flyer from the mercado and scanned it in below. They come frozen in a 2 kilo package. Evidently this is where the vendors who sell out of coolers at the malecon get them from. That shrimp was absolutely awesome! We got U10's which means Under 10...

    Free Week @ Mayan Scam Tips?

    There was a promo going on for rent one week, get another free. This may be how her boss had the extra week. I'm giving away my extra week also. The only extra charge there will be is the 55 pesos a day tax. The room was paid for when the reservation was made. They may have the boss's name...

    Car Rentals

    I know that most people on this forum drive their own cars/RV's down to PP, but thought I'd share my experience for any people who fly in to Phoenix. If we didn't need a car down there, I'd have considered taking a shuttle service round-trip. I found 4 rental agencies who rent cars that can be...

    Credit card Fees...everything you know may be wrong

    Hi all--I've got some more to add to the fee structures: Bank ATM (debit) cards--find out if your bank is affiliated with any banks in Mexico. For instance, we have a small account at Bank of America because they are affiliated with "Santander Serfin" in Mexico. So if we use a Santander ATM...

    Ditto!! How cold is "freezing" ? Like literally below 32 degrees? Or compared to the perfect weather of the weekend? No matter what, it would still beat winters here!!

    All ideas welcome...

    Hi all--need some advice... I've been pouring over real estate listings for a few months now and really like the outlying areas with a little space for elbow room. We definitely are NOT condo people. I toyed with the idea of townhomes, but again, really would like more privacy than that. We...

    Playa Lopez Price REDUCTIONS !

    Oh my God! So glad I stumbled onto this thread! My husband and I are coming down from 4/29 through 5/6 and hope to get a chance to meet up with some of you for cervezas in the sol. I agree with lots of what Melissa said--the idea of renting to cover the HOA nut seems counterproductive to...
