I should have followed up after our tours mentioned above with Adventurate por Jalisco.  Both tours were top notch.  The guides and drivers were great ... Can't say enough good things about them.  We had been on a couple of Tequila tours already with friends and family but this one was the best.  We saw completely different things and the underground restaurant at one of the Haciendas was very interesting, comfortable and the food was delicious.  We will definitely be using this tour company again.  Oh, the large can was clean, comfortable and air-conditioned.

Wookie, I just sent you a PM about this, but it's not clear that it went through.  I'm looking for more information on the hacienda wit the underground restaurant.  Thanks.

You just go to where you create a new message on your phone, as if you were sending anyone a text message. Type in Baja, then send it to 2222, just like you would send a text message to someone's phone number.  It doesn't work to try to send it as a reply to the UNOTV text.

OK, thanks!

I will get some help. I don't know how to "send to 2222".  I can only respond to the original message.  

Do you type the 2222 in the message box along with the baja?

Is your rate still DAC?  The minimum charge is based on a minimum  KWH charge.  It took 3 cycles for my DAC rate to go away.

Thanks Mostly Lost. No, it is not DAC.  We had two meters (two accounts). One was DAC, that account was completely closed.  The other account was never DAC. It is that account that continues with our solar power.  I'll wait one more cycle.  If it is still 75, I'll go ask them about it.  Thanks!

We got solar about 6 months ago (10 panels).  We have received two bills so far.  Both bills were for 2 months and both showed zero net usage. We are making far more than we are using.  But the minimum charge we had to pay for 2 months was 75 pesos.  Why are all the others only paying 46 pesos for 2 months?  I realize it's a small thing, but it seems odd that every one else I talk to that has solar panels is paying 46 minimum and we are paying 75 minimum.  Anybody else out there paying 75 minimum and know why?

Can anyone else share their experience about departing from GDL with a Permanente card. 

When I left last Wednesday went to IMN at the airport, the agent spoke perfect English. Presented my passport and Residente Permanente card, he handed me the FMM form told me to fill in the bottom half only, which I did, he signed and stamped the bottom half tore it off, threw the top half in the garbage and handed me the bottom half, which I handed to the airline agent.

This is getting confusing.  First you must have the top portion with "Permanent Resident" written in block letters on the top as you'll need it when you return, then TelsZ4 says the agent threw that part away.  We've never flown out since we moved here, but will be doing so in October. So this topic is important to us.  Which is it?  Why did that agent throw it away if it's so important to get back in?  I hope someone can clear this up.

I would also like the contact info for SmartPV.  Can someone PM me that info?  Thank you!

No crowns, but cavities filled and very happy with her.

I'll be interested to hear what you find out.  We have guests coming in a couple of weeks that are kayakers and might want to do some kayaking while they are visiting.

Thanks everyone for your great references. I'll let my friends know. They are on the younger side of "senior" and so I'm not sure what they are looking for, but all this info is great to forward to them. Thank you!

Thanks Sea.

Thanks everyone!

I have friends considering moving lakeside and one of the questions they asked what the availability and cost of a personal trainer. I don't use one and did a search on this board on the subject. Looks like the last person to ask about it (in January) got no response at all. Can anyone help with the availability and approximate range of costs of personal trainers lakeside? Thanks.

The place across from the Corona store in San Antonio has great prices. About a tenth of the estimate we got from across from Lake Taco. And good selection depending on what size you are looking for.
