    A Pure Leap of Joy

    I can claim the one on the left and the middle as mine - right hand is their friend. It is her first time in Mexico and Penasco. She got tired of listening to the media. And the way the beach was crowded it would appear that quite a few other people are ignoring the media too. A lot of people...

    June 1 2012 Trip Report

    Our two GDs and their friend drove down for a short weekend from Phoenix. No wait at the border & got the green light, a smile and a wave. It was their friend's first trip to Mexico - before she had read the media hype and stayed away. The girls, used to California beaches where they wouldn't...

    Sandy Beach

    Some people there - construction not finished however liens lifted and they are actively looking for funding to complete everything. So fingers crossed. It is a beautiful building and units are great.

    Old Movie Theater

    In the Rocky Point Times there was a question as to whether anyone knew the location of the old movie theater. I vaguely remember that as you entered the old port there was one on your right hand side. My DD remembers the following. It would have been in the early 70s: f you walked out the...

    Rosie & Insurance

    Our GD is headed down - again - this weekend and figured out that it is more cost effective to buy car insurance by the year rather then the trip (Take that Media!!!). Anyway, all it took was a call to Rosie. We had originally suggested to the family to use Rosie for their insurance, the main...

    Sleepless in Rocky Point

    I remember when the ONLY water in town was brought in from the well 17 miles out of town - the rusty trucks rumbled up and down that stretch of highway night and day.

    Lobster Tails

    Lobster Tails

    As my family will warn you, I'm not good at directions so if you get lost it isn't my fault! I believe it is on Josofa Ortiz Dominquez - south of the new Super Ley and would be on the right hand side headed south. It is a white, red and blue building - Carlos and Michelle own it and they are...

    Lobster Tails

    The other day at CS restaurant supply we picked up some frozen lobster tails (I was afraid to look at the price - my total bill was $45 and that included a corn beef, DH's favorite, a couple of other things and the tails, so they couldn't have been that expensive). Anyway, fixed them tonight and...

    Getting a package delivered in Rocky Point

    We rent a PO Box in Lukeville and pay Burrito Express $30/mo and they deliver our mail and will also mail things out for us in Lukeville. You do pay duty on any packages that come in. I'm not good on directions so someone else could probably get you there easier and quicker (once DD & I got lost...

    Sandy Beach Condo Rental with Pets

    Also, at Bella Sirena only owners can have pets. But those dogs do get pampered with green grass to romp on - a lot of afternoons we watch 'doggy play day'. Also Bella has special 'stations' for clean-up detail for doggy owners. Fortunately our doggy owners are faithful about taking care of the...

    Sam's Club update

    Were over by Sam's Club today (May 24) and lots of activity going on - building looks completed from outside - heavy construction equipment hard at work in the front area by highway. Still haven't gotten our Sam's Club card yet - knowing us we'll end up waiting until we have to pay full price -...
