    Can I get in and out without a Passport??

    The border agents are still letting people through with only a DL and a birth certificate. My son and girlfriend came back into the USA 3 weeks ago, the girlfriend only had a DL and birth cert. The agent reminded her that she needs a passport/card to comply with the HSA guidelines. It added 2...

    Cholla Bay Hotels/Motels?

    Pinto Pt. I forgot about that one, It's at the Ron Rico market, I have zero info on that place, but I'm sure it's affordable. There are a lot of places under the radar, that are mostly word of mouth or the bulletin board at JJ's.

    Tessoro At Las Conchas

    The only advantage with Tessoro is much fewer people to deal with and is more secluded compared to all the coops at SB. The downside is all the unknown issues that could raise their ugly heads in the future. I would prefer to be on the Las Conchas beach vs the crowded Sandy Beach area. If I...

    Homeport moving along!

    If? there are large ships (1200-2000 people) operating from the Cruise Port, I could see some smaller operators operating from there. But if it turns out that the people who sold the concept of a home port in RP under estimated the desire for cruising from RP and this turns out to be...

    Dental costs in Mexico

    About 4 years ago we were charged $280 for a new crown without a root canal, my wife's 20 year old crown broke. We used the dentist just past Latitude 31 going to the fish market on the left side. My wife was ok with him. Unfortunately it broke again 2 months ago, ($750 with good insurance here...

    Fishing at Cholla Bay

    Click on the Google map link, you can park in the empty lot shown in street view or anywhere along the roads at Pinto Point, just be cool about not blocking the narrow streets. Pretty good fishing either side of the large white house on the point, there are 2-3 concrete walk ways to the water...

    Spring Break 2016

    I am sure the photos from Semana Santa will show the beaches packed compared to SB. We were there all week, left on Saturday, there were a lot more people in Cholla and RP Thurs-Sat. compared to 1st part of our stay. All my local friends aren't looking forward to the huge crowds of crazies...

    SANTANDER

    On Tuesday at another bank, BaNorte, I withdrew 10,000 pesos and was charged 46 pesos, Wells Fargo took another $5 for a combined total of approx. $8 or 1.4% in fees. That is the fee regardless of the amount, so I always withdraw at least 8-10,000 pesos, to keep the fees minimal. I received...

    45,000 expected for Spring Break.

    It took 1.5 hours, on the US side there was 2 agents talking to drivers and 6 just standing around laughing, the Mexico agents were waving most people through and only stopping vehicles towing enclosed trailers. Weather is perfect and some nice crowds at changos and jjs. A whole week of this...

    45,000 expected for Spring Break.

    At 1200 noon, Saturday the line at the border going into Mexico is 1.5 miles, no fun. Tons of traffic heading north. Based on the cars in ajo and gila bend it's going to be even worse by 1 to 2pm.

    45,000 expected for Spring Break.

    This year Spring break is March 4 - 20th. You will miss the largest crowds here this weekend. The crowds are pretty tame compared to 15-20 years ago. The 45,000 number is optimistic at best, 25k is more realistic, when spread over 17 days is manageable. The only big issue will be crossing the...

    Glass Slider

    I had that happen to 2 doors that took 20 minutes of power washing, prying and applying much wd-40. We got the doors to finally open but the rollers were pretty bad. In the end we couldn't get the doors out of the tracks due to lack of head room even with the roller adjusters backed off. The...

    Mexican Beer doldrums

    Maybe Dos XX will start paying the consumers like they do the bars and restaurant's to stock their products. ;) For Pacific try the Modelrama as you come into Sonoyta on the left side of the road, in RP the Modelramas are usually the best place to find it other than the Corona store on BJ (in...

    Govt sets temporary ban for shrimp in the Pacific

    I know I'm going to get the flame thrower treatment for my comment. I wish the Mexican Govt. would also impose a ban (or a really, really short fishing season) for all fishing in the Sea of Cortes for a bit. That way everything being harvested will have a chance to re-populate. It's really...
