    That's a good tip about the Ajo Radio Shack. I didn't know that. Thanks.

    border crossing - anything new since last year?

    Ok, I have done some serious research on this matter, and can recommend the deli in the IGA at Ajo as having the worlds best ice cream...made on site. Last time I was through there was June 2016 and this was still true at that time. Of course I have to take new samples each time I am there.

    Where to buy a wifi extender

    Hi everyone. Are there any stores in Puerto Penasco likely to sell wifi extenders? If more than one, where would you go? Thanks!

    Is buying a condo a good investment?

    I am sure everyone will have their own opinion about whether prices will rise, fall, or stay the same. I believe they have been generally increasing over the last year or so. But I do want to point out a couple of important considerations: the value of currency and transaction fees and taxes...

    princessa pools

    There is a hot tub that is heated year round...obviously. But the main swimming pools are not heated. I understand one was kept heated through the winter until a year or two ago but there just weren't enough people wanting to swim to make the expense worthwhile.

    What is your favorite restaurant for breakfast?

    Kaffee Haus also gets a vote! I had the bacon/eggs/pancakes combo yesterday and it was excellent! 3 of us had big brunch sized breakfasts (2 with coffee and 1 with orange juice) and the bill was $340 pesos.

    Shrimp Buying

    Well, I assumed the scale might be rigged a little. How much do you think it is off? You indicate the price for the other scale goes up by $1...so maybe 12%. Is the scale likely off by more than 12%?

    Shrimp Buying

    I bought some shrimp from 3Bouys on the Malecon ("downtown" area)today...the left-most stall when facing the water from the street. The scale said 5lbs (2.27 kg). $640MXP, or about $40USD. these were the biggest size shrimp they had, and there were 51 shrimp in the 5lbs...so if the scale was...

    Restaurant Map

    Nice job! The Princesa is beside the Sonoran Spa on the east side, and on the Princesa grounds there is a great little restaurant called Colin's Cantina. I believe they have two-for-one cheeseburgers on Monday, and two-for-one nachos on Wednesdays. The restaurant is open to the public...not...

    Verizon in Mexico!

    I just returned to Canada from a 2 month visit to Mexico...Puerto Penasco, Lake Chapala, Guadalajara and points in between. On the way down I picked up a T-Mobile SIM for my iPhone 5S and put it on the new (as of July 2015) plan that provides for free everything in Mexico, US and Canada. The...

    Passport expiry

    I have traveled to at least one country where their immigration rules stipulated that there must be at least 6 months between the date of entry and the expiry date on a passport. I.e. if the expiry is imminent (less than 6 months away) they are concerned it may expire before you go home and...

    Quick internet/computer question...

    This may be of limited help...but my experience with the Internet connection at the Princesa resort is very good. There can be outages of course, like anywhere else, but normally the Internet connection is good enough to steam Netflix movies flawlessly. If I felt the need to reduce risk of an...

    Best Cell phone carrier from the U.S. for Rocky Point?

    This thread is about cell phones...I get that. But if the objective is to be able to call back to the U.S. Or Canada, and you have wifi available, Internet phones such as MagicJack work well and cost nothing to use.

    Shrimp Buying

    I went to Sea Products for the first time last week and bought a 2kg box of U12 Blue. That is 4.4lbs. There were 56 shrimp in the box. I am no expert, but my theory is that U12 means 12 per pound. True? If true 4.4 pounds should be about 53 shrimp...so 56 is about right.
