Rocky Points full...go try San Carlos...JK

Friends came Friday afternoon...1 1/2 hour wait at the border to cross and 30 mins at the Miltary Check Point. We had a sick child, so we did arrive until today, Saturday, 45 min wait to cross, no wait at the check point. Seem like every rental house is rented and full in Los Conchas.

I haven't seen Rocky Point this busy since the hey days of 2006.

We had to go north early this morning and there was a steady stream of vehicles headed south to Peansco - haven't seen that many in years! Bella was completely rented out and the parking lots were basically full this morning. yesterday all the pools were busy and a LOT of people having a great time.

Because US border agents check cars that go into Mexico there was a delay and a line to get into Sonoyta was about two miles long this morning. It took 1 hour to get into mexico. I have never seen anything like this in my 20 years of going to Penasco.
El Tiburon
Get used to it-it's not going away. It is the result of the efforts of the US govt to divert attention from its involvement for the guns it shipped into Mexico. Nothing but a big charade!

Then the least they could do is open more lanes. One car at a time with 3 CBP officers at each car is ridiculous.

I complained to a CBP officer about the amount of time it took and was informed "Mr. Black I get paid by the hour, I really don't care how long it takes I have to be here anyway" I guess he put me in my place.

I personally think that attitude is typical of the American mind set today. We are their customers and we should be treated that way. That person should be fired and their boss should be put on notice that attitudes like that reflect directly on the person in charge. I guess if you follow the chain up it is the same attitudes that all politicians have towards "the people". :mad::veg::-o

In the future, refuse to be "put in my place". It is time to push back and declare our freedom

Couldn't agree with you more!

BTW, how is Cabo?

Really nice but I do miss my friends in PP. Come visit it is amazing. Cruise ships, yachts, whales and etc. Same great Mexican locals and very little police or Federales.

Homes here are very expensive. I am renting a house in an area called Cabo Del Sol right near the Sheraton hacienda del Mar Hotel. Overlooks the Golf course and the Sea of Cortez. Very pretty with coconut palms and iguanas !!!
