Oh, cool! I'm all ears... :)

I'd love a photo! Thanks, Russ. A quick google says the Jenni Rivera concert will be on June 18 at the Hacienda La Cordobesa?

Thanks guys. I can always count on you.

Does anyone have information about the upcoming Fiesta de Marina? I'd like to run at least a short bit about it, but can't find much about it. Is that the fishing festival that starts on Navy Day? Replete with mariachis, folk dance and a festival queen?

That particular PR has been around at least since Jan. 2009 and it gets found again and revived periodically. Here's what might be the original(?) source for it. Note the date: It is correct that CEDO won a legal battle against the marina planned for the Sandy Beach area. Here's from their...

I've taken the liberty of publishing the RPTVA's statement as a press release in The Tides. I also embedded the video. The article I published yesterday about the whole mess got 1,065 page views, so hopefully our campaign to get the facts out and repair some of the damage done will be at least...

This really reminds me of an incident in the late 1980s in Cabo (before Cabo was big and famous). Hubby and I were driving out of town toward our condo in Cabo Bello and we passed a flatbed truck packed full of young Mexican soldiers, all in uniform and armed to the teeth with assault rifles...

The FMT has always been required even in the Free Zone if you stay longer than 72 hours. It's been pretty much ignored by everyone, though, including immigration. The FM2: IF you decide early on that you want full time permanent status in Mexico as an immigrant, then going with an FM2 is the...

That's pretty unclear at this point, actually. These are the federal rules and they're very likely to be applied differently in different places. Each immigration office can (and does) set local requirements that might not follow the strict letter of the rules. Especially in a place like RP...

Well, you're SUPPOSED to get those FMMs, but frankly it's questionable whether or not you'll even be asked about them-- unless they're now keeping track of when vehicles actually enter Mexico or something. Those documents would probably work, though they might get their hands slapped returning...

You still can't hold land without a Fideicomiso with and FM2. I guess I didn't make that clear, though, when I said: "After your fifth year of holding an FM2 you can apply to become an imigrado (immigrate permanently into the country). At that phase, you will get a blue card similar to the...

Here are the new Immigration documents for entering and/or living in Mexico, with pictures and an explanation of what each of them is for. Let me know what you think! http://rptides.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-immigration-forms-for-entering.html

:-D I did say "Marriott will brand and manage the hotel, but will not own it." ;) I don't think that's either disengenuous or fraudulent, particularly since Marriott itself has openly said they won't own it. It's very common for hotel companies to "brand" hotels and manage them. It gives them...

Is that the harbor area that the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) has nixed? That, as things stand today, will not get built? See CEDO Victorious in Sandy Beach Resorts Marina Controversy (with a picture). Or are you talking about a different harbor? Penasco Bay is...

I wonder if you even understand that you're oh so blithely talking about committing murder? Multiple murders. But then, maybe that's always been a dream of yours, unfulfilled due to the fear of getting caught and prosecuted? Happy you if such murder were legalized so you could plink away without...

I'm sooo happy for you and your son, Rosie. The sense of relief must be humongous! Add my voice to the chorus of thanks for his service.

I stole your machete dancers video for The Tides, Seadweller. I love it! And I love helping to advance good causes. Thanks... ;)

If you want a chuckle this morning, here's a funny article for you. I believe the "event" took place on the way north from San Carlos (because the "week at a marginal timeshare in an "up-and-coming" resort area on the Sea of Cortes" turns out to be the Marinaterra). Read the whole thing at...

Besides the new rule about showing passports or other correct ID when entering Mexico as of March 1, there will be changes in FMTs, FM2s and FM3s as well. This is from an immigration lawyer in San Diego. Follow the link to read the rest. (This is copyrighted material and it's against the law...

Well, hopefully at least. A press release from CEDO has announced that the wetlands at Bahía San Jorge were named as one of seven new sites in the List of Wetlands of International Importance of the Ramsar Convention in 2010. I think that's good news. You can see the whole press release at...
