CABBIES
Watch your cab driver, if he's back with your luggage for an unusual amount of time he may be going through your baggage. Happened to one of my clients. The chances of losing articles out of your baggage in the airport is slim with all the security and the rush of getting it through to the plane and...

Sorry Kat but just saw your question: I have a sick mother and a son wounded in Afghanistan so taking care of the family is most important. Not sure when I'll get back. As far as the changes in PV in the five years I lived there it saddens me that change along with the local economy has deteriorated...

"On another note, do not miss Marisma fish taco stand for lunch. It is on Naranjo street near Basilio Badillo." The good PR has helped this place as the prices just went up. I paid 100 pesos for a shrimp burrito. It was big but 100 pesos is a bit much for a taco stand. A decent place but others are ...

As a resident in PV we have many names for someone who shows real estate. These terms arrive from the concept that there is no licensing, education process or legitimate governing body to ensure total fair play. That being said does not mean there are no honest folks selling real estate here. But if...

I was just to Tehuamixtle last week. My parents were down and love the oysters and the view of the town from above is spectacular. The road to El Tuito is decent but the first ten miles outside of PV are full of pot holes. The mountains are beautiful with the evergreen forest on the highest part of ...

Fishing in June/July
Fishing is slow at best now Feeshon and really dead in the bay. For your best chance at Tuna and most anything else now you need to go out to El Banco (the banks) which is a good 50 miles out. It will soon get better as time goes on and the rains change the water. Here is a link that may help: -http...

In the United States and Canada of your driving without proper plates and a police officer sees you he will pull you over. It's his job. In Minnesota the ticket for not having proper plates is over $200.00. On top of that they will most likely tow your car for another fee of somewhere over $200.00 M...

You might want to try Roma's Cafe behind the main flea market next to the river, ten peso beers, a huge screen and sound system in a dedicated large room.
Good Pizza too. http://www.romamexico.com
Or try Que pasa's with a big screen and try the 60 peso fillet.

Think of it this way. Most of the stories about such things revolve around the fact that you did something wrong. Admit your mistake and be glad that you only get a scolding and lose out on two hundred peso's. ($20.00 US). Just think about how much complaining there would be if they did what they do...
