Thank you for replying Vlynn. I too am a single woman. I am finding maybe it won't be as difficult as I thought. I have had great responses from very nice people. Nine years is a long time. I wish I would have decided nine years ago. My email is chartea@rocketmail.com. Keep in touch with me, I'd like to take you to lunch. I will be in SMA definitely in March. Thanks again for the valuable info! I live in San Miguel and making friends here is so easy... Many many expat groups, Go sit in the Library... take a Spanish class....just sit in the Jardin and people watch... next thing you know you will be having lunch with someone... You don't say if you are a man or a woman does not really matter .. but as a single woman this place is the best for finding friends... Don't worry about it... Really.. I have been here 9 years...

I think you totally missed Kitt's problem. These 'pencil pushers,' I'm using nice language, wanted investment statements based on monthly printouts. This is never available as they are issued quartly. These bureaucratic loosers don't understand banking and are misinterpeting the law. I was advise of this by my consulate, prior to gaining entry to Mexico and had All documentation stapped by the consulate. Knowing full well that their are always problems, I hired a lawyer who acted on my behalf. The best investment I could have ever made. On my last visit to pick up my Temporal, the woman at the front desk tried to make an issue about nothing. I quietly informed her that I'd have to ask my lawyer for my money. The document was handed to me immediately. Must have just changed after you got your in October. It did drop very recently $1500 now

I recommend my dentist. His name is Mauricio Gonzalez Reyes. He is in Merida, Calle 4 #119 por 15 y 13, Fracc. Montecristo. His office phone is (999) 287-1200. His receptionist is Claudia. She does not speak English but he does. I think you can PM me if you need further. I recommend my dentist. His name is Mauricio Gonzalez Reyes. He is in Merida, Calle 4 #119 por 15 y 13, Fracc.

Understood. Thank you. Na, coffee snob, I'd rather hassle people like you. Keeps the brain located in my lower extemity happy.;~))

If you get a recmmendation from a person who is Mechanically inclined and "Car Knowledgeable," you could get lucky. But in any Turd world country you may pay a bit more at the dealer for better service but the satisfaction of the work done correctly can be very important. There are way to many electronic items on todays cars to trust a "Hammer & Chisel" back yard black smith. Now if you are driving a 74 VW, don't even consider my comments.

Jim. Wrong subject for your question. Read all updates at: http://yucalandia.com/answers-to-common-questions/new-rules-and-procedures-for-immigration-visiting-and-staying-in-mexico/ The rules are dynamic. What is needed to get permanent residence in Mexico?

Hi, we live in Playa del Carmen. However, as published by local newspaper Novedades de Quintana Roo, Chetumal is the second most expensive city in Mexico, after Acapulco. So take this into consideration too. Good luck! Chetumal is in a quiet corner and it somewhat isolated. There are many expats in the area for fishing, diving and other ocean based activites. I strongly suggest that you visit and take a good look around. There are lots of places on the yucatan that have more expats and are very beautiful. Meds are generally cheaper in Mexico.
