  1. Fred, I think most people are grown up on this forum and we all made the decision to move to Mexico and received a lot of negative feedback from friends and family in our original country of residence. We are also older now and have different needs including availability of medical care. That item certainly wasn't high on my priority list when we moved to Mexico in 1996. I recommend that anyone moving to Mexico rent for a full year before purchasing a home here and to keep your "stuff" in storage should you decide it's not for you. So, I offer the same advice to anyone changing location within Mexico... and I wish to hell that I had heard from anyone about summers on the coast of Nayarit before we sold our San Miguel de Allende house and built one in San Pancho, Nayarit.

  2. In considering either Chiapas or Oaxaca,  you may want to concentrate on one line in the above Joni Mitchell song... "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone". I'll stay here. I chose the east side of Ajijic specifically because of the traffic congestion and have everything I need within five minutes. I also chose a one level, small one bedroom house and small garden for easy maintenance and care. Look before you leap.

  3. Yup. It's been a process. Thank heaven for competition. At one point I had Telmex, iLox and TotalPlay. Dumped iLox first and then Telmex. TotalPlay is the most consistently reliable service here. Hands down.

  4. I don't call being without telephone service for over six weeks a minor problem. Incidentally, it wasn't Telmex who repaired it. I had someone trace my line to the junction box at the top of a pole around the corner from my house. The wire connection was corroded. He snipped off the corroded parts of the wire and re-attached it. It would have been simple for four different Telmex repair men to have done the same thing. Pathetic service. I don't have any problems with Telcel.

  5. I would also recommend iherb.com and/or iherb.com.mx They are very reasonable in price and offer an extensive line of brand name vitamins and supplements. The price is as stated with no extra charges added. An order usually arrives within a week and I have my orders sent to iShop in San Antonio Tlayacapan so that I can pick them up at my convenience.
