    Crossing the border to mexico and back into the US without a passport???

    I realize that, but that doesn't minimize the fact that entrance into Mexico MAY(???) be denied. Why would they ask me for my passport? Who knows? Damned if I am going to drive to the border only to be refused entry.

    Crossing the border to mexico and back into the US without a passport???

    That being said, I once, when red-lighted going into Mexico, was asked for my passport in the last year. Don't know what may have happened if I had not provided it. Would hate to be turned around after 2.5 hours of travel. Just saying.

    After 45 Years I'm Wondering is there Value is in RP?

    Sorry, but I just can't agree with any of these "points" other than that tourism has fallen off. But that's due to 2 reasons, the economy/housing crisis and the media scare about travel warnings. Period. In 20+ years of coming and now owning in RP, I have never heard one of these complaints from...

    Elect payments

    Has anyone had any luck paying online with a CC from the USA? I use my Capital One Visa all the time in RP and never had an issue with a transaction being denied.

    Taco Talk!

    Los Dos Molinos opened a location in Ahwatukee recently also. I really don't look at it as Mexican though. More like New Mexico style as is Arribba Grill.

    After 45 Years I'm Wondering is there Value is in RP?

    24 years ago I moved from where I was born and raised for 33 years, Long Island, NY, to Phoenix. The last several years, I have not made that many trips back, the frequency getting less and less as the years went by. A year ago when I went back to visit, we decided to go to an old favorite of...

    Passport card

    May be the case, but technically speaking everyone entering into Mexico needs a passport. In the good old days you didn't need a passport to travel into Mexico's Free Zone. Things have changed. As of 2008, everyone needs to have a valid passport to enter into Mexico, but you won't need a FMT...

    Walkie Talkies

    We have a couple of small Motorola's just to communicate between the waters edge and the beachfront house should someone need something either way. Never even gave it a thought.

    June 1 2012 Trip Report

    That's great, I use my Capital One Visa w/ no foreign transaction fees anytime I can down there. Nothing like getting a full tank of gas @2.89/gallon. Too bad the merchants only taking cash still calculate at 12.5 to dollar, what a joke when you don't have pesos.

    Solar options

    I admittedly say I don't know all that much about solar systems, but I do have an Outback charge controller and have no idea about the sytem being/needing to be equalized. About the only thing that I know how to do is shut-off/turn-on the charger controller (auto or off) and I mostly always have...

    anyone have a report on the border crossing back to US yesterday? Although I am returning today, I'm just curious since we seemed to have a lot of folks leave Encanto yesterday and I forgot to check the website. Also, I am returning to RP on Friday night to bring the wife home on Sunday. Yikes...

    Solar options

    Anyone out there have experience with solar batteries that seem to eat water almost daily? I have a few batteries out of 20 that can get very low in a matter of days, others barely need distilled water for months at a time. Although I'm on the grid now, I still have my system tied in as a...
