    You can't find nicer folks than the ones in Rocky Point. Get well.

    So you are the one with the condo, I misunderstood. I've heard bad things about Seaside, which is why we never use them. Do they allow you to market it on your own?

    Memorial Day Weekend in Penasco.

    That's good to hear, my shrimp supply will run out by October. I need to make some reservations!

    Do you mind if I ask why you use Seaside Reservations? Do you rent a condo? I have found great deals on condo rentals on my own. Even Craig's List has some steals. Seaside charges too many fees. If you are not locked into a certain resort, you can find deals where there are no fees, just a...

    Tortillas

    Carolina's is the best. They have a new location at the 101 and Peoria. We tried to go there, but the linie was out the door. We plan to go back at an "off" time.

    Tortillas

    IMHO she has the best tortillas in Rocky Point. I buy dozens and freeze them. They taste almost as good after being frozen as the day they came off the stove. My kids would give me orders to bring them white cookies from the bakery (which has since closed), shrimp (which I hear is going to get...

    For those who own condos

    It was at least ten years ago. My friend and his wife lived in Santa Clara, Ca. They would drive down every couple of months and add some furniture or appliances. It was a three story house with state-of-the-art everything. They took every extra penny they had and put it in the house. The...

    For those who own condos

    He just called..... La Bufadora (south of Ensenada). Apparently it was some kind of development with houses, a restaurant, hotel, etc. After many years, there was a dispute about who really owned the land. The people who built the development lost the case and everything was awarded to the...

    Not really sure, but hubby knows. He's out of town today, so I'll post when I find out. It was along the Baja coast I think. He lost everything!

    For those who own condos

    I understand, but you can't be happy that you may be paying three or four times as much each year to have that preference. And, if things get any worse down there, you may even lose your ownership. I had a friend who built a house further down in Mexico on a beachfront lot. He had about...

    For those who own condos

    The owner pays the HOA fees every month if it is a rental or not. The condo management/HOA requires a MINIMUM rental fee and you have to charge that, plus there are numerous other fees charged to the renter, even if they are a friend/relative of the owner. They would never let a condo...

    For those who own condos

    YES! Those are the monthly fees on the condos in American dollars. The HOA's are having fits because so many people are behind or just not paying. The hardest hit are the ones who still have units for sale. They have to maintain the grounds, pools, etc., so they can sell them. If all the units...

    For those who own condos

    I think a big problem is the homeowners association dues. They were high in 09 and they've gone up in 10. Here's where they were. http://www.laspalmasowners.itseasysite.com/f/Comparison__HOA_Fee_Structure_Calculator_Effective_January_1,2009(1).pdf

    Easter weekend

    I was down there last year during Semana Santa staying at one of the condos. Even the condos were crowded and tons of kids. So much for a nice quiet weekend. It seemed like there were 5 kids to each adult.

    poll question regarding drug violence in mexico

    Yes I will still go because I'm not scared at all. We DO have murders here in the USA and I'm not afraid to travel here. I would not drive from Lukeville to Rocky Point alone, BUT, I have never been willing to drive that deserted road alone in the last 35 years! If Playa Elegante was still...

    Fresh Fish!

    I'm confused! I said I buy my fish/shrimp from Jessie, but I meant to say Alberto. I thought Alberto was the big guy who seems to run the place and then there's another guy there that I assumed was Jessie. After all these years, I really don't know which is which. Alberto is the heavy...

    Fresh Fish!

    Oh I forgot favorite recipe. Not really a recipe, but a rub for just about every fish we eat. Sprinkle with McCormick Lemon Pepper, Weber brand Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Let it sit for a while with the spices and grill it on a hot grill to get the blackening. Yum.
