For anyone interested in Mexican history , along with the history of Mexican passenger trains (for many decades the only way to travel), I highly recommend this amazing book ....if you can find it “Yesterday’s Train - A Rail Odyssey Through Mexican History “ , Terry Pindell , 1997. A review https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/687641.Yesterday_s_Train

I like ‘ Chapala Health Talk ‘on FB for current, accurate, comprehensive & neutral local Covid-related info as soon as it is available and confirmed. I appreciate that some people are reluctant to use FB —and I appreciate the reasons- but like it or not that’s largely how & where the information you’re looking for is communicated to the general public

I’d also suggest printing out the rules you find on the airline website and bringing the printout with you when you go to the airport....it may come in handy should you encounter a rep at check-in who has a different understanding......it happens

Keep in mind any airline might have different requirements...

Went this morning and to my great surprise the bagels are like the real NYC bagels I’m used to - well, very incredibly close at least- and the (warm!) walnut raisin bread loaf is to die for. Very pleasant place , pleasant staff

Went Tuesday Dec 1st to Lydia’s , medical office 1 door east of Vinos America on the carretera in Ajijic. ,$750 for #4 flu shot you must get on the list a pay deposit

FYI, anyone can send mail to the US via Ishop - for a small charge. You don’t need to buy a box

My 7 year old dog has been diagnosed with Addison’s disease. Can anyone speak to their own experience with treatment for their dog locally for this ?

My personal experience . Flew recently to US east coast and most pleasant trip since before 9/11 . Airports super clean and quiet and calm. no crowds/no rushing, no lines anywhere, super easy immigration experience . Everyone — 100% - masked , social distancing observed and everyone super chill. I fly a few times/year ...If only it was always like this

Mostlylost....so when my friend pays the typical $200p for my Telcel Amigos Sin Limites plan she could also request / pay another 50mx for 30 days of North America coverage? that and connecting to a WIFI network as much as possible and using Roam only when I can’t connect, I should find my pesos going a good deal farther than 12 days?

If you’re one of those folks who regularly use your IPhone both Lakeside and the US I hope you can help as sadly I’m very unsavvy about smart phone technology and lingo. I have an iPhone 7 and Lakeside I buy Tercel’s ‘amigo plan sin limites’ plan, 200p for 28 days.— all good. Im in the US and arranged for a friend to pay my Telcel for me while I’m away. But I’m obviously doing something wrong . With phone Set to WIFI , nothing works. With phone setting set to ‘cellular data’ ON all is good (phone calls, texts, emails internet) but the 200p paid lakeside lasts only for about 12 days. Is i

Try a papeleria for FAX...Trinidad in SAT has one

Last week , in Chapala, for a new Mexican license, I was given the 50% discount based on date of birth without an INAPAM card...had to pay at one of the two banks posted on the wall at the entrance (remember to write down the bank account numbers that appear under the bank names posted on the wall , and the exact amount) and after paying at the bank you need to go to the nearby copy store to make a copy of the bank receipt . Some typical waiting in line after each step but all in all pretty efficient.

I also thank you for posting this. As of last week Volaris had no flights to JFK through September...today they do!

You might consul the various dog rescues for opinions as they care for hundreds of dogs /year ..and have experienced all kinds of health issues
