Hey Denny how's it going?! No I'm not gonna talk myself out of coming up there! Right now we plan to leave here on Jan 2, and it's about a 3 day drive. Stay for a month and find a place to live long term, as long as I like it- and hubby is confident that I will! I'm excited to take a Spanish...

Hi, thanx for the replies. I wasn't thinking about food shopping in the US, just wondering if the prices will be higher....we usually look for the open markets for fruits & veggies, and it's an hour drive for pork, and a 2 hour drive to Acapulco for good beef. Chicken is only about 20 minutes ha...

Hi everyone, I am reading posts about various things including good restaurants, and I have a question about prices.

Beautiful experience today. We went up a narrow dirt road overgrown with greenery; trees, bushes, wisps and stalks and leaves, to the little cemetery for our small town of Playa Ventura. Others had been walking up, their arms filled with flowers so we had them jump in the truck and up the...

Playa Ventura, tiny town along the beach a couple hours south driving from Acapulco. Beautiful, tropical...and just a tiny bit too remote....

not sure; we think we're looking for a Mexican neighborhood, and not right on the beach! We live with the beach out our back gate right now and as beutiful as it is, as much as I like sitting on the rocks and watching the waves with my morning coffee....the salt makes everything have this film...
