We came back yesterday (Tuesday) and the Mexican Federales were searching about every 3rd vehicle coming back into the states. They were having everyone exit their vehicles and they were pulling everything out. Fortunately, we got lucky and were waved through. Not sure what was going on.

Anywhere up and down Sandy Beach is great for Jet Skis (Wave Runners) rentals, banana boat rides etc. Everyone I have ever rented from (10+ times per season over the last 15 years of going there) speaks pretty good English. "Cuánto cuesta" means "How much?" And "demasiado" means "Too much"...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, we are staying in Rocky Point for 5 days (Sandy Beach) and I thought I would spend one day on a fishing trip. I checked with both Santiago's and Del Mar Charters...expensive! Wow. They want close to $300 for 4 people for a 6 hour trip. I gather that you get to keep...

Can anyone recommend a reputable company that takes folks out on fishing excursions? Family of four that has never been, but not sure who to go with. I have heard of Santiago Ocean Services and I think Del Mar Charters, but know nothing about them. Thx!

Just check out the webcam from Sonoran Sky here - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sonoranresorts. That will make you feel better... =)

Check with your auto insurance before buying Mexican insurance. I have USAA, and my policy completely covers me up to 75 miles into Mexico. PP is only about 60 miles from the border.

If you like the bar-scene, Wrecked at the Reef on Sandy Beach, and The Hut next to Sonoran Sea are good places to hang out.

Next time call his bluff. If it happens again, tell him you'd like to just go to the police station so you can get a receipt for the ticket. He will simply send you on your way without a fine. It's happened to me many times going through Sonoyta...

Ha! Yeah, no kidding. No rants from this guy...We all just need to sit back and accept the fact that all of us have to take a bite out of this big sh!t sandwich! =)

This from the Washington Post this morning... There are a whole bunch of key government functions that carry on during a shutdown, including anything related to national security, public safety, or programs written into permanent law (like Social Security). Here's a partial list: Any...

FYI - if you like college ball, Wrecked also carries ESPN GamePlan. =)

Wrecked at the Reef on Sandy Beach has all the games. Also, Latitude 31 (yellow building going into the port) has Sunday Ticket, as well.

Yes, they typically charge $1 per minute. I am usually spent after 20 to 30 anyway!

Agreed on La Curva! Hands-down, best Mexican food in town...IMHO :-)

Oh jeeze....it's the ocean. Of course there are sharks. Along with a lot of other beautiful sea life. Now, is it anywhere near the magnitude of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia? Or the area off the coast of northern Cal. known as the 'Blood Triangle'? Not even close. Here's a quote that might...

That's pretty funny stuff there. I suppose they are more concerned with guns and drugs vs. kitchen utensils! :-P. I actually had it packed and my wife was, um, let's just say - expressing her concern. So, I thought I would make her happy and post the ?. After reading all of your replies, she...

Thanks to 3 out of 4 of you for your informative input. Happy Thanksgiving to the smart@ss.

This may sound like a silly question, but I don't want to take the chance. We are planning our first Thanksgiving holiday in Rocky Point and will be brining down all of the grub, utensils, cookware, etc. for dinner. I was wondering if any of you know whether or not a 10 inch carving knife would...

Agree with surf 100%. We arrived at the border on 6.8.09 about 12:15 and didn't get through until almost 1:00. The border agent said maybe 50% of the people had either a passport or passcard. Major holdup all because people don't want to spend any $. Heck, if you can afford gas, food, and...

Beachmom, That must be an old site you referenced. Here's a link to the official travel.state.gov website - http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/minors_834.html. Special Requirements for Children Under Age 16 Before You Start, Please Note: Minors under age 16 must apply in person...
