    Turnaround time for a passport

    We applied for our passport cards after receiving our passports last year. The turn around time for the cards was 3 weeks exactly. Unfortunately, we had to make a couple of trips to Mexico during the time we didn't have passports. On a return trip from Nogales, we explained the situation, and...

    Labor Day Weekend

    I sent a notice to '[email protected]' about the Trike Races for Charity. I don't think my hubby and I can go, but it sounds like a great cause and a lot of fun!

    Chicken Little or Ostrich

    Last night in Tucson, a house was broken into, 5 men looking for drugs and money. When they realized they were in the wrong house, they tried to hijack a passing car, shooting and killing a 15 year old girl who was to start school today. http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/303872 Drug violence...

    Weather/Gas in Penasco 7/25/09

    Hi, just returned from a 1 day trip to Penasco yesterday (Saturday). Gas at the Why Casino was $2.69, at Why Not and the other station were $2.77. The exchange rate in Sonoyta was $12.70. Gas at OXXO was $7.72 or $2.30/gallon. In Penasco it was 7.41 or $2.21/gallon. I'm guessing when we...

    Taking a dog into and out of Mexico

    We've been bringing our dog down for over 12 years. We took him to the vet, got the certificate, paid the $, and were never asked for the certificate- either way! Of course he's a 100 lb lovable lap dog of a Doberman, so that might have been the reason. We've since gone down about every other...

    They weren't there last weekend, but the water was cooler than years past, so maybe they'll come later this year or not at all.

    jellyfish and stingray stings

    A friend of mine who is an ER doctor in Tucson went to a medical conference in Penasco, and she was told for stingray hits, soak the foot in as hot of water as you can stand for 30-60 minutes which neutralizes the venom. We've done this on my husband and son and it works. I didn't ask her...

    Gas Prices

    FYI, gas in Why at the Why Not and Chevron was $2.59, but at the Casino it was $2.34- for a savings of $.25/gallon it's worth the one mile drive east! At the new Pemex in Sonoyta on 15th of Sept. Street it was $2.28 (7.72 pesos x 3.8 / $12.85 pesos per dollar). We didn't check out how much...

    OK How was the weekend

    Stuart, I sent your fishing report to my brother-in-law in Buffalo NY who is the "Stuart" of the Niagara River and Lake Erie, famous for Muskee fishing (he's in the Muskee Hall of Fame!). He laughed at your report and your wife catching the fish, said it sounded familiar. I keep trying to get...

    Gas prices

    We travel from Tucson and have found the Oodam Casino to have the cheapest gas outside of Tucson- last weekend it was $2.11 at the Casino. The Why Not Travel Store and the other gas station are about ten cents higher so you might want to go east on 86 one mile to get gas (they also have the...

    Carne Asada Tacos in Sonoyta

    We used to go to the trailer, but since we tried El Serape, we only go there. The tacos are bigger and the meat is just off the mesquite grill. Yum!
