Kindles have been offered with/without ads since 2011. I would not be surprised if many people have the ads without even knowing it. The ads never pop up while reading.5 points

Having owned a travel agency, I would suggest buying directly from the insurance company. As an agency we sold the insurance that paid us the highest commission.3 points

Wish I could remember for sure which year we first visited Ajijic but it was either in 97 or 98 so the same timeframe. We were scouting Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta for retirement possibilities. On a whim we booked a taxi driver to show us around the Lake Chapala area. He said the best Sunday brunch was at La Nueva Posada so there we went. Great food and a lovely view of the Lake, which had not yet receded so that was our first restaurant and it certainly was "real" also. That led to us moving to Ajijic in 2001 and also in 2008 moving to PV so we experienced the best of both. Mannix was a go-to for special occasions mainly for us. The old Pampa Tango opened, was close to our B&B so it was our everyday go-to place and then of course changed names to Ajijic Tango to settle a naming dispute with the original restaurant. Yep, the good old days.3 points

So you are suggesting one needs pay an attorney to see if they have a passport from Mexico or wherever?? If they are unable to determing in what countries they are citizens..... they need much more than an attorney.3 points

I remember Manix was my first resturant I ate at in the mid 90s in Ajijic.. I was backpacking around Mexico and had the Fromers travel guide. ( no internet). I stayed in the hotel on the plaza ( 9 dollars a night. I was told if a month or more 7 bucks a night.) and the guide recommended that resturant. My fillet the one they served up till they closed was less than 3 dollars including a couple of beers.3 points

Black zippered wallet lost somewhere between Walmart exit and El Torito checkout. I had my wallet when leaving Walmart then did not have it when I went to check out at El Torito. Reward Offered Wallet has been found. It was turned in at WalMart. Cash, credit cards, and ID all intact.3 points

That's because a happy customer tells 5 people about their great experience and an unhappy customer tells a whole lot more (especially on social media forums).3 points

It's the old furniture store next to the old Bobby's on the carretera.3 points

There is a new small Mirage store in the building where GDL Farmacia used to be on the carretera between Chapala and Ajijic.2 points

Probably because it is useless and even more so on weekdays. DId make a great opportunity for the person in charge to get more retirement funds.2 points

Currently, TotalPlay is the most reliable with both the best speed offerings and outstanding customer service. Had my fill of cable, Telmex and iLox. TotalPlay rocks imho.2 points

Maybe because the Feds are signaling that they aren't looking to lower interest rates more any time soon?2 points

Well it THAT wasn't a bunch of goobly-gook. Rank and file users won't know anything more than they did before the change. Core vs iCore, Ultra vs not. The most important part of the old names was the 3, 5 and 7. 3 = lower power, 7 = more/most. The easiest way for the casual user to know how much power they were getting is.... the price!2 points

Be careful. They fly the wonderful 737 Max, also, they could, suddenly shut down, as other budget airlines have done. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/flair-airlines-owes-67m-in-unpaid-federal-taxes-prompting-seizure-order2 points

There was another heading currently active about Manix being "Closed" . Since that was in this forum , I put the opening info in this forum. There are two handicap access points. One is a separate entrance, with ramp, giving access to the main floor. The other gives access to the terrace. Hector has tried to think of everything. And yes he and his family have supported the Ajijic community for 37 years and he now deserves the community's support.2 points

No, if not here, it would belong in lakeside restaurants index. But I for one am happy to see it promoted here, Hector and Manix deserve the attention for all he has done and continues to do for the community both personally and professionally.2 points

Great news! Isn't it nice to know that there are still a lot of honest folks out there?2 points

I noticed that too. Most people don't realize that it is law in Mexico that new establishments open to the public are to be wheelchair accessible - not enforced of course.2 points

I guess you would have to look at forums other than Ajijic/Chapala/GDL to see it. The GDL Reporter article was posted in La Cocina and there is a continuing thread in La Cocina. If you don't look at other forums, why do we have them?2 points

Check their website to find out. https://flights.flyflair.com/en-ca/flights-from-vancouver-to-guadalajara It would appear that they are offering round trip (and one way) flights all summer... Mondays and Fridays. Just flip the codes...These flights are not only a boone for us but also for travelling Tapatios.2 points

For those who don't pay attention to a lot of Canadian news, be warned.... FLAIR is not all it might seem. Ferret assures me she has herself covered. For the rest you might want to look into them a little. Like the little girl with the curl...... when they're' good they can be a great deal, but when they're not ....................... No horse in this race because neither flight destination does me any good but doubt I'll ever see Canada again anyway.2 points

Agree. Not reading the other sections of the forum is like only reading the first page of the newspaper.1 point
