The US border had 6 lanes open on Monday, 1 of the 2 south lanes was used to go north. The first time my fiend ever saw that. Wait times were mostly under 1.5 hours as the US agents were asking minimal questions.

I heard the Mexican Aduana's were checking almost every car going thru. The extra inspection would explain the long line coming in. I've seen 5 mile long lines before but never 7-9 mile lines. The US inspection has been better with 4-5 lanes open for the past 6 months, keeping the waits under...

We were there in June and everyone was happy to see the tourists. In Sept. probably not so much.

Having a permanent residence card also makes the tax bite much less when selling your home. Also it fast tracks you to Mexican citizenship (5 years) which means no need for a Bank Trust anymore for foreign citizens. But also creates more work for some who will need to file a income tax return...

We did that in a number of places on the Rhine and Danube rivers. Amsterdam is a fun place to drink a beer. I love how most of the beers are served in a nice beer branded glasses, I brought home a few. You might have visited the Kneitinger Brewery in Regensbug established in 1530. We tried 6...

We toured Germany last year and most larger towns not cities had their own dominant area brew proudly displayed. I drank some very tasty beer in 10+ different towns and I'm a Coor's lite guy. I'm amazed at how most things in Germany that were destroyed in WW2 were rebuilt to look 300-500+...

JJ, That's almost being brewed in Texas, no wonder the taste is off. :cool:

Thx, It's still not the Pacifico bottled in Mexico. I haven't seen Pacifico in bottles in Penasco for 2 years.

I find the US Pacifico has a different taste than the Pacifico bought in Mexico. The bottles bought in Penasco have a better taste than the US stuff . IMHO You should do a tour of the Mazatlan Pacifico brewery, the beer on the tap in the tasting room is so good.

I have been boycotting Grupo Modelo/AmBev for 2 years because Pacifico. beer is impossible to find in Penasco in bottles.

Last Thurs gas was 18.89 peso per liter at the Sonotya Oxxo/Pemex on Calle Septembre.

Propane was 10.89 pesos per Liter last week when I filled some bottles at a Z-gas station. Price has been 10.29-10.89 for 6-8 months now.

When I put peso's on my CFE acct. It's never more than 2000, 3X per year. So far approx 30-50 pesos have disappeared from my acct credit every 2-3 bills. I believe they charge you a few percent of your bill to do this. We're never down for more than 3 weeks at a time and only a few days 2-3X...

We've used Pro Alliance (Rosie) for almost 10 years, we had a house break-in 6 months into our 1st year with her insurance company. We got paid and Rosie and Paty were great to deal with, I was in the office when Rosie needed to rip the adjuster for trying to cheat us. My experience with them is...

Many places in NE Phx are $4.19. My daughter bought gas in N. Tucson for $3.59. The gas station at the border in Lukeville was still $3.99 today.

Sam's had some nicer looking plastic wicker furniture there a month ago, decent cushions, but Sunbrella fabric ???????? You can always buy some in the states and have Aron Brown bring it down. We bought a Sam's set in Penasco last year and like it, We don't leave it out when we're gone. It...

I had wind gusts at 48mph last night per my weather station on the oceanside in Cholla. Lots of constant 24-30mph wind this morning. Here in NE phx gusts at 40mph.

The Wrecked and JJ's owners said the new bar at Margaritaville isn't part of their group.

Gas prices in AZ depend on where the gas is piped from. For Phx area gas comes from California (it can be .30-70 cents per gallon more vs TX.) Gas for Tucson area is piped in from Texas (it costs less) Also areas outside of Tucson and Phx don't require the winter summer blend fuel required by...
