    Buying Shrimp

    We would like to buy our shrimp this year from Seafood Industries. We buy quite a bit 20 to 30 lbs at a time. I'm told it is not sold by the pound but by the kilo which is 2.2 lbs. And, I'm told it's frozen. Is it frozen in big blocks? I'm trying to determine how many kilos will fit in a...

    shrimp cleaners

    I used to buy that one in Rocky Point but I never could find them in the states. I must have purchased six different kinds here but none of them worked as good as the little plastic ones. I finally found them at a restaurant supply company on line. I bought a dozen of them for $15. If the...

    "Box" for additional TV channels?

    I didn't realize that you were only going down for a few weeks, sheep. I thought you lived there. You will be fine with a few channels. You certainly won't want to be watching TV when you are in Rocky Point. If you want to watch on election night, there are a lot of restaurants and bars that...

    Trailer Parks

    Those were the days.......... I wouldn't trade that little spot at Elegante for the penthouse condo at the nicest resort on Sandy Beach. If only we could get it back.

    "Box" for additional TV channels?

    I don't know what they are talking about, but I have a brand new, still in the box, DISH 522 dual DVR that was sent to me from DISH by mistake about 4 - 5 years ago. I've called them twice and they said they would send someone out to pick it up but they never did. I just cleaned out a closet...

    new computer challenge

    Same here. Decided to hook an old printer up to my laptop with Windows 7. I could print anything that I created in the HP software that came with the printer, but I couldn't print documents from Microsoft works. I spend three days tyring to get it to work. Ended up backing up all my data and...

    Reporting Cheaters

    I disagree, Dry Heat. As I said in my post, I used various dates all the way to December and they all came up with $1500+. When you say Las Palomas has the highest occupancy rate, you're not talking about percentages of occupancy which is how the hotels determine the rates.

    Reporting Cheaters

    I just went into Las Palomas web site to get a rate for 4 nights, starting on a Sunday. They quoted me a rate of $1500+ which included all fees. Then I went into the Sonoran Sun web site and booked the same dates for the same type of unit and was quoted $700+ which included all fees. Am I...

    Reporting Cheaters

    If the prices at Las Palomas were published that way they would get a lot more renters. Instead they have gotten a bad reputation for publishing a flat rate and then adding numerous fees that no one understands. It's a wonderful property if you have children so I think many families would pay...

    Quick questions

    Don't forget the kilo of shrimp is frozen so if you are buying a large quantity you will need to keep it frozen. If you buy at the Malecon it will be fine in the refrigerator for a day or two and then you can freeze it when you get home. I usually buy 20+ pounds and my shrimp guy fills my ice...

    Dogs allowed at Sonoran Sun Rental?

    So are you saying that the renters are the cheaters? If you rent a condo in San Diego do you ask to read the CC&R's before you give someone a deposit? I think you have that backwards.

    Dogs allowed at Sonoran Sun Rental?

    At Sonoran Sun renters are not allowed to have dogs, but owners are allowed to have dogs. When we stayed there we wondered the same thing because we saw many dogs.

    Reporting Cheaters

    The rental fees need to be restructured before I would rent from the rental pools. The perception is "nickel and diming" you to death. What is an impact fee? What is the Administration fee? What is the damage waiver. When you look at the web sites for rental condos they advertise a "bait"...

    Phoenix Channel 10 at 5 pm Sunday really promoting Rocky Point

    Just watched a story about Roger Cline and his band performing in RP. They actually talked about how tourism is making a comeback. Even said things like "Rocky Point has a lot to offer", "three golf courses, lots of bars and restaurants" "tourism has increased". They showed videos of people...

    After 45 Years I'm Wondering is there Value is in RP?

    My husband has been going down since the 60's and I have been going down since the 70's. We've spent many weeks in San Diego also. Yes it has changed and yes things cost more. The condo we rent with a first floor, ocean front would cost us 4 times what we pay if it were in San Diego. The...
