    Your passport is about to get more expensive!

    My husband is a first time passport applicant and he could not get an appointment, which is required, for one month. He went on 12/14 and they won't be accepting his application until 1/11, and if he pays for an expedited passport ($60 extra) the passport will take 6-8 weeks, plus you can pay...

    Super Hot in AZ...and not so hot in Rocky Point?

    Thank you everyone for your input. My jets have satisfactorily been cooled. Neither 117 nor 90 and humid sounds good. We sure did love Rocky Point in February and we met alot of nice folks even though I am not very social or sociable. And the Mexican husband says the oysters there are the...

    Super Hot in AZ...and not so hot in Rocky Point?

    Do I have this correct? It's going to be 117 in Phoenix and only 90's in Rocky point? Is this the norm? I'm guessing the drive down from Phoenix (or Vegas where I live) could be hard on your vehicle...

    Lightweight dress pants

    My sympathies, two times my luggage was lost, and discovered there are no plus size panties available in Havana Cuba and Mazatlan, Sinaloa, so all those giant cabooses you see on the malecones must be going commando.

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    In my state of Nevada, you can go online and request a duplicate license for $18, and it will be mailed to your home. There doesn't seem to be any requirement that you attest it was lost or stolen; it seems you can just get "an extra." If I were going to Rocky Point all the time, I would get a...

    Crossing border at Lukeville with an RV.

    If I could ask, have you only gone to Rocky Point with your RV, or have you gone other places in Mexico? I am interested in knowing about RV searches by Mexican authorities. I assume they can look everywhere, but do they give you a hard time about the furnishings you are carrying in the RV? I...

    Traveling from San Diego

    I shopped around alot online. AAA was not the cheapest by any means for a few days' stay. Many on line policies only go up to $300,000 in liability but we found a couple that go to $500,000. You can buy online and print the policy page to show.

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    At the end of last month we met the "pedestrian cop" at the stop sign. He told us to respect the laws and stop. But we were already stopped and my husband is Mexican, he saw we weren't worth the trouble.

    Is there a Rocky Point craigslist of sorts where people post stuff for sale or apartments and houses to rent?

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    I doubt you will get the information, but you have the right to ask. Over and over again. After many people ask and get no reply, that becomes part of the story. Here's the website for the city: http://www.sonoyta.gob.mx/ Here in Spanish is a list of things that are "public...

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    It seems to me that this is an important topic and that quite a few travelers feels they have been unjustly stopped and/or fined. I'm not sure of the magnitude of the problem--because it is also important to be supportive of the police when real traffic violations occur. The town of Sonoyta no...

    Crossing border at Lukeville with an RV.

    Yes, I have no financial interest in the product, but I do recommend it. It needs a daily charge though you can buy several fobs so one is always ready. A set of fobs, one for you and one for the animal is about $150. One attaches to the pet collar, and comes with an item to affix it to the...

    Long Newcomer Trip Report 2/2021 Part One

    So the location on the sand really caught my fancy, am thinking about own Mirador beach house...what's it like at peak time? Loud music, lots of folks all over the place drunk and disorderly with unruly dogs, late night parties, trash everywhere the next day? Do armed Marines patrol the beaches...

    Crossing border at Lukeville with an RV.

    I had vaccination papers for my dog but they were only interested in what we had in the back of our truck, they never even saw the dog in the back of our crew cab going into Mexico. Entering the US to go home they checked our ID and ignored the dog. We were subsequently stopped outside Ajo at...

    Long Newcomer Trip Report 2/2021 Part One

    Part 4 There were some places we decided to check out. First, the Oyster Farm nearest town, on the road to Las Conchas. We found it with no difficulty, and there, the best oysters my husband has ever had could be bought for six dollars a dozen (I am not a fan), freshly plucked from the oyster...

    Long Newcomer Trip Report 2/2021 Part One

    Part 3 We turned on the TV…and there was nothing. It was a smart tv with Netflix and all that, and there was supposed to be internet wifi, and so I had brought my laptop, with some property listings and other places we wanted to check out while in Puerto Penasco. But none of it worked. I had no...

    Long Newcomer Trip Report 2/2021 Part One

    Part 2 I have travelled to many places in Mexico as well as the Caribbean and Europe with my trusty Samsung phone and Tmobile service. So after we got through Sonoyta and picked up our pace, I set to retrieving the email on my phone with the directions to the beach house and the lock box code...

    Long Newcomer Trip Report 2/2021 Part One

    I had been thinking about going to Puerto Penasco for a year or so, but don’t like long car rides. However, we had business in Phoenix last month, so I decided we should continue on and check the place out. We are in our mid 60’s and my husband is Mexican, so we know a few places in Mexico and...
