    Any Covid restrictions & First trip in a while…

    Yes I'm aware, the Omnicron is more mild for Vaxxed people but still a problem, in time maybe a Big Problem. For Penasco, 21 people in a day is huge because they lack the medical facilities to handle more than 10 serious cases. It was reported that Penasco has 5 ventilators and 5-10 ICU beds...

    Any Covid restrictions & First trip in a while…

    FYI, the Covid cases have been increasing mucho in Penasco, another 21 people were added to the infected total yesterday, 700 for Sonora. The sad part is that this total in less than 50% of the real total is, because people won't go or can't afford to go to the Dr. unless they are really sick...

    New Resort? Sonoran Star?

    If that is the case, many people, especially the locals and Mexican visitors will lose their favorite beach.

    New Resort? Sonoran Star?

    I don't know where it will actually be, I assuming they're gauging interest, so the can put together a sales package to start pre-sales. Since there still are many unfinished units at the Esmerelda, Casa Blanca ( I heard they are trying to re-start finishing units here) and Las Polomas still has...

    Any Covid restrictions & First trip in a while…

    You are supposed to wear masks when driving with 2 or more people in a car. (this rule is still valid, but many ignore it) We always wear them driving thru Sonoyta and when in Penasco, otherwise you're looking to get pulled over for a payout to the officer, my son was pulled over in Sept. in...

    HSBC Trusts

    The past 2 years have been easy, since we we're given Monica's from Bancomer's e-mail, things are great now. This year when we contacted her she didn't reply, but received a link with the amount to pay on-line (Bancomer has shut down the on-line pay site for upgrades due to be completed sometime...

    HSBC Trusts

    Ask for a receipt/statement when paying for your Trust to ensure you are current. We have Bancomer handling our trust and had been paying the same amount for years and never received a statement, even when requesting one from the Bancomer branch in Penasco and/or mailing our payment to San...

    Another stellar performance by CFE!

    Paying $250?, It sure is, if you want the electric on to do something later like, run your A/C during May-Oct. Sleeping is so much easier when the electric is back on and the A/C is running.

    Travel in 2022 to Puerto Penasco or Not?

    Here is some info to sum up the latest Covid wave. Omini is looking to be weaker, but still much worse than the Flu. New cases are 150-180K per day, Deaths are 1000-2000 per day. The Vaccines are doing their job by making recovery for those vaccinated who do get Covid, easier while keeping more...

    Another stellar performance by CFE!

    I expect power outages at least 1-2 times per month in Cholla Bay. It's been like that for years. My back-up generator sure comes in handy when the power is down for 8-18 hours. A whole house surge protector is a must. I could complain a lot but since my annual CFE cost is less than $250 (Yes...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    The great thing about Cholla is the mix of people who stay there, there's people struggling to get by who can't afford to live in the US and then there are millionaires and lot's of people in between. Way too many Cholla locals with modest incomes and the richer are just as happy eating a few...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Yep, 4-5 years ago, Joe me $4.5 mil, but flexible and negotiable, LOL JJ's property includes the old gas station, and 3 big lot's, the Santa Claus Bldg. and all the parking near JJ's. There are some lots with rentals up (where you probably stayed ) on the hill to the south and a rental house...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Joe, Nicely said. I'm not a fisherman, but have seen lots of boats launched and many big fish being cleaned at the scales and have seen most of the JJ's events and did the sailboat regatta once. I wasn't into all the JJ's events but can appreciate how good it was for everyone involved. And as...

    No more LLC's to avoid bank trusts and 2 % transfer tax?

    Well, hopefully getting a permanent resident card will ease the Mexico capitol gains taxes currently at 35% on a sale for a non-resident. They are clamping down on all the tax avoidance that has happened for many years. I heard Mexico wants AirBNB and other rental places to report all...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Vegas, Yep men have simpler needs, but Don't forget about the women, I know more than a few who will not use JJ's bathroom. My wife will drive 3/4 miles to our house to use our bathroom rather than use JJ's. LOL

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    We started going to JJ's 30 years ago and spent time during many weekend 's there, we have ton's of great memories from there. It was a great place to hang out but, as the years, passed it became tired and worn as other new places opened up. Back in the late 80's-90's you would sleep on Sandy...

    Sliding glass doors

    Humm, I bought a new Samsung SS fridge in Aug 2020 from the local RP Sam's Club. So far the fridge's SS isn't rusting. Iknow it's cheaper SS because magnetic things stick to the doors. LOL But it was only $800 vs the Phx price of $1,400-1,500.

    Sliding glass doors

    It's a mixed bag using Aluminum or Vinyl, I have Aluminum frames and I'm close to the water in Cholla. My south facing frames after 22 years are starting to show signs of age and some corrosion from the sun, humidity and wind. As Stuart said the resort sliding doors are hard to open, The...
