Jubilacion

Thanks for all the great information, I've wondered this same question myself as th OP. In light of finding your Doctor/Surgeon first are these hospital facilities above less expensive 💰 & better 🩻 than our facilities Lakeside? Gracias 🌴

1) We entered at Columbia Solidarity Bridge Crossing, Laredo, TX. INM visit easy peasy at the same we secured our TIP (see below). If you are Residente Temporal vs. Tourista make sure they identify you as Residente on your entery into Mexico and not as a Tourista. 2) I "second" Lewis & Lewis... good online site to buy "tourista" auto insurance for Tourists and Residente Temporal, and very good rates. They also allow you to select the region of the country you will be driving. For example its basically the Bajio Region north or the entire country. Since we never planned to drive our vehicle to Mexico City, Oaxaca, Ixtapa, etc. (its easy to fly there) it saved a bit of premium. 3) We did our TIP at the Banjercito at Columbia Solidarity Bridge Crossing, Laredo, TX. Took about 30 minutes in line. No experience from any friends purchasing online, only hearsay. Online TIP https://www.banjercito.com.mx/registroVehiculos/ You do have one other interesting option living in Colorado, you can visit a US based Banjercito office and take care of it in person. Might be worth a phone call at Denver Colorado: Leetsdale Drive Suite 100, Denver, Colorado, 80246, Tel: (303) 399 0586 Buena suerte!

At our recent couple’s counseling session, the therapist said that couples these days are so disconnected that 85 percent of all husbands don’t know what their wife’s favorite flower is. During the session I proudly turned to my wife and whispered, “It’s self-rising, isn’t it?” She smiled and kissed me!

Wow, 4 out of 4 agree! I will definitely visit them. 🚗 Muchas gracias! I looked it up it's called Auto Clinic Body Shop.

I did a search on our webboard with out success. 🚗 Is anyone familiar with having your car painted Lakeside or in Guad (in entireity - not a collision fix). I'm guessing a good collission center could do the work, but any and all suggestions appreciated. Gracias

I also endorse Farmacia Maskaras Hidalgo 29C Riberas. They are usually the cheapest 💰 from my needs AND will deliver 🚗. You can CALL and get your price quotes and they speak excellent ingles!

On May 17, 2023 I started a thread on recommendations for top Lakeside agencies and Mexican Insurers. Out of that discussion came a couple of comments on Mexican Auto Insurance by KM (premium based on use, kilometers driven). 🚗 Here is an atricle link https://www.rastreator.mx/seguros-de-auto/articulos-destacados/compara-seguros-de-auto-por-kilometro. Do you have first-hand experience with this type of Mexican Auto Insurance? Who is your insurer? 🚗 What is an easy way to determine breakeven point 💰 (is it worth it) vs. traditional auto insurance in Mexico?

Thanks for suggestions!! 🤔 We went to Chopo and they do not have the ultrasound for her shoulder (they do have 4 or 5 other types of ultrasound) so we went to San Antonio Hospital and they can do the Rayos-X and Ultrasound tomorrow, jueves... and for only about $20 USD (380 pesos) higher than Uncle Tios. Excellent.

My wife needs to get a cervical Xray 🩻 and Ultrasound on her neck. Imagenologia (next to Tio Sams) was recommended for price and efficiency but can't get her in for a week... so I thought I'd ask. Any other suggestions? Is San Antonio Hospital reasonable price and quality? Thanks in advance....

We purchased our Luuna memory foam Mexican King-size mattress at Costco on a travelling vendor sale a couple years back (they are also available now with free shipping on Amazon.com.mx) and we love its quality... made in Mexico! As a tall guy (6' 6" - 2 meters) we found that Mexican Kings are wider than they are long 200 cm x 190 cm, so we just turned our 2 colchon individual wood frames sideways (190 cm x 100 cm) and now the bed sleeps longer than the width. The sheets look fine sideways with neutral prints and the outside bedding and covers we put on as reqular. Problem solved way cheaper than getting a US/CAN NOB bedding size. Buena suerte!

Thanks all for the help and recommendations. 🌴 I was able to get in with Dra Cynthia at Chapala Dental 🦷 Care on Friday. It was quite the ordeal as it turned out my broken tooth was also infected in the root. Both Dr Eloy and Dra Cynthia assured me it was important to get that tooth out. Very compassionate during my 95 minutes of discomfort trying to wriggle out of the dental chair 😵‍💫 due to the infection and my tooth in 4 parts. Back in 3 weeks after infection is gone.

We crossed in Loredo at the Columbia Solidarity International Bridge. It was about $430 USD for our Nissan Versa Hatchback and the process took about 30 mins because we did not do it in advance and only one office window was open. I've read mixed reviews doing it online and printing it out but don't know anyone first hand who has done it. It would sure be easier if you could time your crossing and prepare the TIP online. Perhaps this method has improved?

Well, my skill at procrastination 🤔 arranging a visit to a Dentista for cleaning/exam has brought me to a need for help. Looking for a very good dentist (who isn't?) for an issue with a back top molar that cracked and then on a recent trip broke. Most, if not all of the one tooth is gone and starting to cause some discomfort. What kind of a Dentist can fix that issue? Any first hand recommendations? Doesn't matter if the Dentista is in Guadalajara or Lakeside. 🦷 Thanks in adavnce for any help.

From my understanding, TIP is only available for Tourista or Temporal. You can't bring a foreign plated vehicle into MX as a Permenente for fear of it being confiscated on a traffic stop. Isn't that correct? If you will be driving I've had good insurance success with Lewis & Lewis. Good rates, quality carrier like Qualitas. Visist www.mexicanautoinsurance.com Buena suerte!

Tequila visit is a very good idea IF you and your son enjoy Tequila. Its really only about 90 mins from Chapala- Ajijic. My recommendation is Forteleza Tequila (top rated tequileria and tequila on Tequila Matchmaker) for reservations. It was a small, fantastic tour with tastings. They will do the tours in english too. Forteleza/Los Abuelos still do things the old-fashioned (antigua) way. They are in downtown Tequila. My friends and our spouses really enjoyed the tour, property and tequila. A second choice is Cava de Oro tequila just a little east of downtown Tequila in El Arenal. Nice tour and tastings of a premium tequila. Nearby is the son's tequleria Adictivo which is also worth a visit. Family and friends really enjoyed this visit too. Not a commercial tour like Cuervo, much smaller. Buena suerte!
