    Value of the Peso to US$

    Buy in PP from an ATM, even with the fees it's still better than the 7-8% WF is costing you. And who knows by April it could be 20-1. As long as you take out more than $200 US, the fees will only be 2-3% depending on where you bank and what RP ATM you use. I use Ba-Norte (has an English menu)...

    Verizon in Mexico!

    Bill We had the same problem with our T-Mobile service on Saturday the 2nd, roaming with Tel-cel, the service worked great for the prior 4 days and then on Sat. when we were heading back to PHX, we weren't able to send texts or make phone calls. It worked fine after we crossed the border. The...

    (quick) Passport Renewal ?

    Just re-apply for a new passport and take the completed application paper work with you as well as a copy of the old passport. I did that and the border agent said nothing about it when I presented the paperwork to him. As Ben21 said, don't sweat it too much.

    11/14 fishing report - Santo Tomas

    It's easy once you know the routine. 1. Make sure the photo file is less than 100K in size. There are more than a few programs and sites that will resize it for you, I use Photoshop. 2. Click on the upload a file button in the lower RH corner of your post. 3. Open the folder where the pic is, I...

    Verizon in Mexico!

    Much confusion about the 128kb throttling for international, you will get 2G/3G, 128kbs-3mps, it depends on where you are in 120+ countries. In Mexico and Canada you will get 4G if the area is using 4G. Penasco has 4G. If you are on the T-Mobiles, new Simple Choice plan, you get the North...

    Verizon in Mexico!

    Good news that Verizon is finally getting on board with Mexico , T-Mobile started this last year with inexpensive cellular service in Mexico, it's still the cheapest option and works great, fast 4g even. Glad the major US carriers are offering options that don't rip people off. Remember $2 per...

    roads

    Yes, that's what I figured. I wouldn't be thrilled, if on my first trip that way, I suddenly found it was another 100 miles and didn't have the fuel to make it. From some of the posts here, fuel options seem limited down that way.

    roads

    Interesting article, IDK where they came up with 152 miles, typo? They got the other distances correct. Here is a screen shot of what Google showed, 244 miles. It's still 225 miles via route 43 through Saric. No clue how that route would be? Jerry might know.

    152 miles?? Nogales to RP is closer to 250 miles, 400km and 4.5 hrs according to Google maps. Unless there a short cut I'm not seeing? Going through Nogales would be fun, but I'll stick to going through Lukeville. Via Nogales it would be almost 8hrs and 440 miles door to door from NE Phx...

    Sandy Beach and the Jetty

    Depends on what you're pulling it with. Sand is not packed enough, OK till you get close to the water, within maybe 150 feet away. You will sink most vehicles, even with my buggy with big flotation tires its tricky. You should like your T-Mobile service the 4g is pretty fast .
