If you do have pets, you need rabies documentation -- and the rule is ANNUAL boosters, unlike the 3-year duration in Arizona. When we have been checked for documentation for our pets, they also asked for (and photocopied) our drivers license.

I never gave it much attention either until I was walking the dogs some years back in the dunes around Miramar / Dorada. In the middle of the path was a coiled, huge something-or-other. I was too busy frantically gathering the dogs and detouring to identify it, but it seemed to be the size of a...

An Austin - Scottsdale - Penasco route would absolutely work for me and family as well.

Wow, now that reasonable fare got me all aflutter -- an affordable round trip for out-of-state family. Then I checked for fares in an arbitrary optimal-season visit (October). We're back up to over $700 round trip.

Ho hum . . . another frenzy taking hold as a result of this publicity. In case anyone wants to join the rumor-cleanup team, please visit Take precautions to ensure safe travel in Mexico - Phoenix News - KTAR.com to stifle the Rocky-Point-is-Dangerous madness.

Is he the one with the "castle" under construction? He invited me and friends on a tour of it one day (a year or so ago) as we happened upon him through our Cholla drive. We wondered about his, uh . . . intriguing stories.

Wasn't a problem for me some years ago. A temporary plate is a plate registered in your name. So registration and ID would answer any questions.

Rick D'amico is going to cover that one, citing violence south of the border.

His approach may seem illogical and wreckless, but he is well shielded from any consequences. I think he applies the same formula in calculating the budget. Oh, but wait . . .

Years ago when a whale washed up in the Encanto / Dorada / Miramar region, they called the City who brought in dozers and lye. Resolved the mess and the stench.

Well, since you’re talking awareness, some risk factors are not easily altered, and some are: For example, a diet high in animal fat, red meats (beef, lamb or liver) and processed meats (hot dogs, bologna,lunch meat) will increase risk. (Diets of high-fiber veggies, fruits and whole grains...

1. Sprng break just started 2. Agree with MexRuss that they are being absorbed into lots more space and venues than used to be available. Heard first hand that some condos were brimming last weekend in the Sandy Beach area. 3. Nothing bounces back immediately. The media hype instilled fear that...

Still beautiful and sunny with calm seas. (Hoping for holding pattern.)

It is a slow process for the media to self-incriminate for its ongoing deceptiveness -- in many arenas. And the damage takes its toll in the process. I continue to watch for the eventual return of crowds, which will signal that word-of-mouth prevailed, and people are wising up.

They already did start. KTAR.com had an article (yesterday, I think it was) entitled Fewer Arizonans Considering Mexico for Vacation. As usual they used the big-paint-brush approach to white wash Penasco in with all of Mexico. And while they didn't issue a blatant warning this time, they...

Yep. You listed the points at which I, too, cringed while watching. Hopefully those inaccuracies were overcome by the overall depiction. Penasco is getting on the map, though. I also -- within the last day or so -- saw a piece on the "Osprey Nest House" in Penasco -- I think it was on "You...

I've heard it both ways. The name of the place is Casa Del Capitan. I, for one, shorten it to Del Capitan. But others shorten it -- more appropriately, I suppose -- to El Capitan.

I think that's short for "snooty big spenders." ;)

Yeah. We noticed some major attitude there. But I'm sure that Pina Colada at Del Capitan brought the intensity down a notch. (Too bad she didn't order their margarita -- that would have cured her for life!) The good news is that as a new owner in Penasco, she can hope to absorb some of that...
