  1. I believe they are still overwelmed on the uploading of data. After adding an additional traveler the upload would get to 12% then finish with the message "Upload failed" Tried 6x before leaving it alone for a couple of hours, retried & got the OK. That's when it got interesting, tried to input the Departure info & was blocked from giving our dates, realized that the old Entrance Standards required that the test be conducted 72 hrs in advance. Well OK, but the new standard does not require a PCR, so why not allow the data to be completed. It could easily withhold Official Verification until the 72 hr window & send it to you requiring acknowledgement of No Symptoms? So now we wait for the final countdown then wait again & wait again. I worked in just about every mayor airport in Canada. I had a short statement that fully describes the departure process: "Boarding interruptess, how many times am I going to be unnecessarily stopped & questioned or asked to show a boarding pass yet again? Now the process has expanded to the Pre-pre boarding & that's before I even have ordered the cab.

    Aeromexico has added a space between Aero & Mexico. Any idea how much it costs to repaint a plane, never mind all other documents a corporation handles.

  2. Rec'd a Notice of Entry Requirements that incorrectly stated that Travellers Must Have PCV Test. WRONG called this newly named airline & it's agent confirmed that if fully vaccinated NO PCV test was required. That is not the way the notice read!

    I won't rant any further about the ArrivCAN app. What a waste of our money & time. Be aware their tested app is NOT tested: extreme patience is required!

  4. Can you Help me? (all in Spanish, a male) My wife is having a Baby, we live right there (points vaguely down the street) I need Peso's for either a Taxi or Gas)

    Yesterday on the sidewalk along 16th de Septembre, East of Colon. 14:00!  I thought he wanted a ride? Our back seats were down with no room to sit anyone. he walked away.

    Previously a week ago (Just found this out, we don't talk much) in Riberas, North of Hidalgo, rang our bell & introduce himself as a neighbour (pointing vaguely down the street). Neither were very aggressive, just repetitive. Later I did find a fine straight cut above my elbow? Box cutter or razor? Both instances the individual seemed to be alone. Just a heads up, over the years, I have been approached many times at Super Lake but never quite like this..

    There is a gravel/stone place on the Carretera WEST of the last lights in Ajijic. It is at the top of the hill going west to Jocotepec on the north side. It's opposite a small strip plaza. They don't stock everything but are most accommodating to get you what you want. You do have to ask though. I wanted smaller gravel than they had and, in the little hut, they had styrofoam cups with various sizes. Mission accomplished and they delivered.

    Now, about the size of the gravel. The kind I chose worked fine but is disappearing as well. My neighbours got bigger stone and it's everywhere on the road flipped there by cars and trucks passing by. The next stone I buy will be about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch. It was spread at the bottom of a new sidewalk and driveway entrance. It sits and stays better than any of the others.

    Tried this one which is where I bought the first load of 1 1/2" The debris during the rainy season seals the larger stones in till the grasses take over.

    Thanks for your thoughts

    I've been at that pit when searching for gravel I did NOT find there. The road is long, goes up a lot, and it's easy to get lost! They had very little "selection" and seem to be a place where private truckers come to get loads. They had no delivery service even if I had found what I wanted.

    Suggest you talk to the people behind Pemex in Ajijic (run by big store to west of El Barco  pub in middle of that upper lateral). They're most accommodating and  might be able to get what you want..... or offer a better solution (see WideSky)

     

     

     

     

    I will see these folks for a quotation. Tks for the advice

  7. I Have been a bit perplexed by the total absence of larger size gravel. Yes 1/2" / 3/4" is readily available but on our street my neighbours downstream get it all after the rainy season. So Im looking for a yard with the 1 1/2" which seems to stay put I am willing to go anywhere between Jocotepec - Ixtlahuacán to inquire pricing delivery etc. Tks

    As gravel pits are sometimes remote any assistance in getting directions is appreciated. Telephone number Pit name all is helpful.

  8. Go to your Local INM office for a review, there always seems to be interpretive wiggle room in what is required. Take home all that they do not need. Good Luck.

    I just spent 45minutes picking up & activating my Intercom Debit Card? Took 4 different people, a telephone call, a verbal review of all my documents & 2 different Debit Card readers to complete the transaction.

    Eureka! My missing screw found,  a 1/1000 opportunity.

    Supposedly, Archimedes was so thrilled and excited with this discovery that he immediately hopped out of the bath and ran onto the streets to tell the king, shouting loudly 'Eureka! Eureka!' (I have found it! I have found it!), in delight.
    Search for: Who famously said Eureka?

  10. Thank you for posting that. After much ado I was able?? to register both of us. Did you receive a confirmation via email? We had our 2nd does in Canada so am not sure how that affects us. Our big deal was to know what a CURP looked like and after that, all was a snap. Time will tell.

  11. They do manage to reach a neutral population demographic based on food availability & water conditions. We have had a garden pound full of Calla Lilies & guppies that we have never fed in over 12 yrs. Fresh Water very slowly overflows the pond into the garden, no pump. We have a suspicion that as the females berth their fry, there are others nibbling on the resultant competition. They certainly learn hiding & schooling skills quickly!

    Many in Riberas have TotalPlay. I just got a flyer under my door there. The name of the installer is Josue Ibon and his cell number is 333-197-2197. I do not know if he's an English speaker but it's worth the call to find out.

    We are still NOB but have marked your response for arrival. Many Thanks
