Aug-Sept is when the heat and humidity is really tough. It's a combo of 90-95 degrees with 75-85% humidity constantly. Being in the water or the shade with wind blowing and a cold drink it's tolerable. When the wind stops, it's time to find a place with A/C. I have seen families (local's)...

It starts tomorrow if you have a Simple Choice plan, I curious to see if Tel-Cell and Movistar in RP are supporting 4G yet? Can anyone confirm this? Or I will, have to wait until end of Sept. to find out.

It is a tough time of year where you have to make your own party. Sadly, Guau Guau's has been terrible for 3 years, the last 3 years even on busy weekends my party animal friends went in and said it was dead. Mamacita's has been great the past few times they were there in the last 3 years. Now...

Magic Jack in a good service, if I wasn't already on T-Mobile, a Magic jack would be necessary to replace a land line. With T-Mobile, I like that you can call, (text and use data) from the US to Mexico or Mexico to the US or even within Mexico without doing anything else at zero cost. There is...

On Wednesday, I noticed that my homeowners insurance had expired a few days before, I sent an e-mail to PA and Paty responded that day. I will be all set early next week. ( I don't know why I didn't receive a renewal notice a few weeks before the insurance was set to expire) ? PA isn't perfect...

Cheaper is not always better. When buying insurance in a foreign country service is probably more important. The prices at ProAlliance are competitive and the service is outstanding, especially if you have an accident. +1 on that. The claim process is a bit different here in Mexico vs the USA...

When I had a dog, (last trip for my dog was 2013) I was stopped about 50% of the time crossing at Sonoyta, I had a large dog who would always sit up at the border, even if I had a green light they would pull me over when ever they saw the dog's head pop up. Never happened at night, but I seldom...

Water shortage? That's why I got an emergency call from my local buddy to let me know that he borrowed my 115Volt Shur-flo water pump to use for his house in town. I am sure he is one of the many who weren't paying their bills. Time to upgrade to the Aquatec Pump 6.0 gpm,115Volt pump, $149 vs...

T-Mobile is doing it again, starting in mid July if you are on the simple choice, pre and post paid plans you will be able to use your phones in Mexico and Canada for no extra fees. Free calls, texting and 3G/4G data (4G if it's been implemented on the local carriers) up to your plans limit at...

There is a bit of evidence to support Jerry's view and Yes a glass fuller view is needed more of the time. But the reviews from Trip Adviser show that 60% of the reviews were very Good to Excellent with 40% rating the Mayan Palace as Avg to Terrible. That shows a lot of inconsistency which is...

Thanks, with certain Tmobile phones using 4g data couldn't connect but with WiFi no problem with the same phone

Nice report on The Satisfied FrogHB. Some tasty looking food, We will have to try them again the next time I'm down. The 2 times I have been there, right after they opened, it was only OK. I understand they offer great prices on beer and drinks. And they are using a fair exchange rate of 14-1...

Jerry the right ear on that interesting looking canale wouldn't last a year before disappearing from the wind tunnel effect at my house. I get steady 15-20mph winds from the SE, during the summer season, I'd have to put ear muffs on him.;) I have to replace my Mexican clay light sconces every...

Yeah I know, But the sad thing about having a house in RP's wonderful climate means repainting everything, every 3-5 years that is exposed to the Wind, Humidity, and Sun. I have concrete roof scupper drains that just erode away from the wind after 5-6 years and don't forget recoating my foam...

Depends on the wind and waves, I have snorkeled in front of my house at Pinto Pt. and have had 40feet of visibility and other times only 15ft. When the water is like glass I can see the bottom from my patio 100 yards away and found it to be closer to 50 feet of visibility. That only happens 10%...

I have been told that trigger fish is used in many places that serve fish tacos, I have no complaints.

Thx, I guess the recovery hasn't spurned any more activity to finish those many un-completed units at Esmeralda, Casa Blanca, Las Polomas, etc. I did happen to see Gus Brown driving a shiny brand new SUV when I was down, guess SBR is doing OK in spite of it all. You would think some of the...

I noticed that the cranes were removed from the Esmerelda last trip down for Memorial day. Any news? Is there any new construction happening on any of the Condos?

It looks like the diver just wet himself!

Looks like I'm going to have one up and running by mid October this year. Probably a 720P version so the quality will be pretty good. I really want one that will pan and zoom, bit pricey to have hanging on my outside wall, just tempting some bandito. GV, I am not sure about better than nothing...
