I was down this week to get my hacienda number. Seaside had it all set up so it was easy. I had an interesting discussion with a person that has lived in Penasco along time. He feels the next wave of people will not be specualtors from AZ but retiree from CA. CA taxes, cost of food and doing away with medicare advantage will force people to look for other places to live that are affordable. We know alot of people in Mazatlan for that reason but Penasco is so much easier to get to and closer to home. We go to the dentist in Mexico, we get prescriptions in Mexico, the dog has a vet in Mexico. Look at the cost of friut and vegetables. With the water problems in CA, those are going sky high. We eat out alot more down there that up here. This is an interesting thought.
next wave of people to Penasco

RP was advertised in western canada last year as a place to retire as well due to its proximity to the border and if needed, a faster way to get back home.

I agree about California folk. I have met several Mexican Nationals by birth, who have lived and worked legally in Cali all of their lives, made a good living there and intend to move to Mexico when retired. Some describe it as 'coming home' although they really never lived here long. Proximity to the grandkids is a big issue so Penasco makes sense. Advertising on California Spanish radio makes a lot of sense too.

Good Argument but remember the number 10,000= the amount of US citizens who turn 65 years of age every day until 2022.Never been there but I'll keep that in mind if I want to hang aroud a bunch of old white people and buy used stuff. Sounds exciting to me, and oh yeah socials and dances too!! Whooooey Dogie. I'm having a great time and not even remotely interested in teh AZ desert.
I'll rub my Magic 8 Ball and foresee where they will end up. All comments welcomed!!! My guess is somewhere
in southern US or Southwestern US
Stuart, forgive me for telling this story and you can delete if you think it's offensive but in answer to AZdiva....I took my mom to Quartzsite one year as she was not recovered enough from an illness to drive that far. She was off doing her thing and I was wandering around the big swap meet at Tyson Wells. I came upon an old grizzled mountain man with all kinds of stuff, old steel cooking utensils, wagon wheels, you know the kind. He had a box of what looked like bleached bones on the table and they were all approximately an inch long. They all were identical. I asked him what they were and he said "raccoon dicks." I was just sure I had heard him wrong so I said "excuse me?" and he said "raccoon dicks." I was just floored for a couple of seconds, burst into laughter and turned around and walked away. Friggin' hilarious! LOLOLOL!
Sounds like what Hell must look like, only with people in dire need of a tan.
Hey, Melissa, I was the only only one there with a tan and I got a lot of propositions from really old men. LOL!

No issues. You know what they are used for, right? No?

LOLOLOL Stuart! I had no idea!
Seaside has set it all up for us to open a peso account at the bank. The next day we went to their office and followed 2 of their employess to Hacienda. The wait was not back. There were alot of people there but only about 3 of us were waiting for Hacienda. I had a friend that does not speak Spanish try to do it on her own and it was awful.. She finally hired someone to walk her thru it.
So how much are they charging you per month for the service?
