    Las Vegas Night to Benefit DIF

    Jim, do you have any more info on the wine tasting?? What will the dinner buffet consist of?? Not that I care, I eat almost anything but I need to know if I need to feed the other half (who is, shall we say, a little more on the picky side) before we come LOL!!

    A few questions from a Noob

    I finally found you!! It was so great meeting you and Lulu and going to lunch and hanging out on the beach with Barb and Mark. I'm so jealous of your adventure and am looking forward to reading your blog. You make me really miss the great Pacific Northwest though! Still can't believe that we...

    OLD PORT entry and exit blocked

    Brokenwave, you must have been reading my mind. Seems like it was longer than eight years ago though, but anyway, it was interesting to say the least. We were kind of freaked out about it at first, but it turned out okay. I'm glad they resolved this issue with no major incidents.

    Any new restaurant reviews??

    I love both places mentioned above....especially the quesadilla's at Gus's!! We went to the Boo Bar to meet friends for lunch recently, and I was in the mood for a shrimp basket. It's not on the menu, but they made them for us (three of us ordered them).....and they were quite good and...

    Newbie RP questions

    Yeah, we hung out with Jaws at Bird Island recently..............oops, silly me....that was a Whale Shark;) Sorry, couldn't resist.....seriously, don't worry about it. As mrchief said, they're everywhere, but that far up in the Gulf is a little ways out of their normal grounds. So they're...

    It's the easiest way to go (using pesos)....then, you don't have to worry about the exchange rate or calculations. Besides that, it is the currency of the country:)

    Newbie RP questions

    Don't know the exact temp, but it was nice!!! It's still a little to cool for some people, but not me.....I was in it in April as well!!! I did some snorkeling and saw the usual fish, but the tide pooling was disappointing. Not much to be seen or found....seems sometimes, the critters are...

    One more thing....the exchange rate was great. I used the ATM twice, each time withdrawing 1500 pesos. The amount withdrawn from my checking account, each time, was $110.18 plus a $1.10 fee. When I used my debit card at the Pemex, I was charged $27.89 plus a .28 fee for 400 pesos worth of gas...

    June 1 2012 Trip Report

    We left the Pemex/Circle K on the outskirts of town about 11:30 Sunday (3rd). For the first time ever (fourteen years), we went through a Mexican Military check point where we had to get out of the truck while they searched it. They didn't really go through things too much....mostly just...

    La Cita

    We stumbled across it one day last year at breakfast time (because it's located near where my favorite bakery used to be) and just loved it. We haven't been back since (just kind of forgot about it really), but we are definitely going there this next trip!! And, if they deliver to PDO, they'll...
