    Mayan guards kicked us out of the estuary while we were fishing today.

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    Thank you for the tip. I will definitely get some information before I use it again. I live next to an airport and I should know better (I fly it super low around a park). Actually, my drone doesn't require an FAA drone license but I am planning on obtaining one. It's much better to be safe than...

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    My son couldn't join us so we ended up with an empty room; three people in a house for six people. Even when we were poor, very poor, we stuck to the rules and we changed our plans accordingly. It's not an "income" issue but a lifestyle issue; respecting others was extremely high on our agenda...

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    Seriously, it doesn't make sense at all. A tourist is an ambassador, even in his or her own country.

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    I didn't take my drone when I went to visit Islas del Mar. I couldn't check the houses at Laguna del Mar, we were offered a "discounted" condo stay; which I translated to "run as fast as you can and don't look back". That deal had a "bad smell". The last photo shows the war on nature a.k.a. sea...

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    Yes, I read everyone's take on that huge debacle. Politicians are very interesting creatures, I can only wonder why it suddenly became an i$$ue after so many years.

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    No, it makes perfect sense, what you wrote is equivalent to 2 + x = 4. Clear as the Sea of Cortez water! Thank you for the advice. My numbers have changed a lot, we are now leaning towards Islas Del Mar, my wife would like to give Costa Diamante/Brisa del Mar one more chance before we decide...

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    I really feel your pain. I have a DSLR and a drone, the least I can do for you is the next time I am in PP I can take some nice photos of your house and hand them to you to help you with the sale.

    Buying a house with cash vs financing

    To make a long story short, we did make an offer; it was our real estate agent who advised us to come up with a reasonable number. The seller barely budged, he basically sent a message: “I am not even going to attempt to meet you in the middle”. That experience made us go to India, find a guru...

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    Yes, it’s a mixed bag. We have looked at many areas and we are only interested in two: Las Conchas (100%) and Islas Del Mar (50%, I still need to swim and use my paddle board to make a final decision). And here is why, I need a place no too far from the beach, it’s not easy to carry a few...

    Border Wall

    You are implying that his house came without doors and windows and he had to get a loan from his family (taxpayers) to add them after-the-fact.

    Shootout in Caborca & Puerto Lobos

    Yesterday, my wife who is from Sonora mentioned the event below, which I confused with this thread: Sonora search brigade finds ‘crematoriums’ used to burn victims’ bodies

    Shootout in Caborca & Puerto Lobos

    Sanitary barriers in other locations?

    Hahaha this is soooo true and so funny (even though it shouldn't be). This is like "it's safer to have sex than to hold hands!"

    How to escape to the beach.

    This is why I strongly feel about this forum: let the fights take place inside of a lucha arena! We all have some of the best beaches around this area; I drove back and forth and I visited almost every beach and town between California and Cabo San Lucas. The second time was from Phoenix to...

    Some people just don’t get it.

    Joe, I agree with you most of the time but come on! I really want them to protest but they need to get a lot closer to each other and away from us. Each one of them deserves a Darwin Award: "The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove...

    About the beaches

    My initial thought was this is just BS, I am an avid paddle boarder (I have so many that I have a " paddle board" trailer), I am sure that the mass of water is so huge...blabla (my reptilian brain was in full swing). Then I read the article and my mammalian brain said to the reptilian one: "hey...

    Toilet Paper

    My wife and I went to that same store on Monday at 10:00 AM, we parked the car, walked a few feet and froze! We saw a scene from a sci-fi/apocalyptic movie: we turned around, walked to the area where the carts are supposed to be parked, leaned against the metal bars to enjoy the "movie". It took...
