    Things to do in August in Rocky Point

    I love the thought of eating Paella and being by the ocean, BUT with 95 degree daytime temps and dew points hovering around 80, that makes returning to Penasco in October a more tolerable trip. I mean even going for a dip in the ocean during Aug and Sept. doesn't provide much of a cooling off...

    Critical water shortage in Penasco

    +1 on supporting the water truck owners and drivers. At my place in Cholla having only 600 gallons of water to use in-between fill ups does make you conserve. When all 4 of our kids come down that 600 gallons goes in 4-5 days even with the yellow brown rule of flushing. Our 2 girls don't know...

    Animal Certificates of Health at Border

    I have never been asked for my pets vaccine records coming back into the USA (20+ years) When we brought home our mangy Mexican stray puppy a few years ago, we were asked how the dog and our house cat, also in the car, got along. We just laughed and said fine. BTW, That stray puppy we brought...

One treatment plant is at the west end of Rodeo drive another on the northside of the road driving past the Sonoran properties. Most everything in Cholla Bay and much of...

    A First For Me - Food Poisoning!

    Ill remember those meds and get some next time down to stock in the medicine cabinet, Glad you're feeling better Mis2810. And to re-enforce what Hill Boy said, I'm very reluctant to eat out from June 15 to Oct, unless I buy/catch it and cook it, it just isn't worth it. It only takes getting...

    After reading this thread now and how it's turned into a BS fest, I have to say that, I'm really missing Jerry's input and comments. (Good and not as good) Don't stay away too long. :)

    Cost of Living

    Outside of paying for a rent, I know a few couples who manage on $1000-1300 per month and live pretty well. They eat out 2-3x per week and drink casually. The trick is finding enough things to do so you don't get bored. We own our house clear and know my wife and I could live well for in RP for...

    Any problem with crossing...

    They will allow (I believe) 1 - 12pk of beer or 1 liter of hard stuff/wine per adult. You can actually buy US branded beer (Coors light, Bud) in RP for less than in the US. 6 packs of Corona, Pacifico, Dos XX, Sol are 80-88 pesos ($4.25) Coors light and Bud are about the same at Super Ley. I...

    Best place to exchange for pesos...

    For smaller amounts ($100 or less) I go to Super Ley, buy a few things using a $50 or $100 bill and get change in Pesos. The rate is always close to the buying peso rate you see in the bank windows. Two weeks ago I got 18.4-1. For larger amounts I go to an ATM (usually Banorte on Freemont) I...

    muebles coloniales down the street from super ley next to a bus terminal just before Benito Juarez will have them, not very expensive. They are a box platform with wood post riser legs. Good company to deal with.
