Thinking about moving to Mexico? This is the best book for in-depth answers to your concerns about what it costs to live in Mexico, the realities of health care, and your personal safety. You get not only the laws and technicalities but the ways expatriates handle the bureaucracy and inconsistencies, rules often applied differently from one official to the next, one day to another. You’ll learn about all 31 states and the Federal District (Mexico City) and how to find the best part of Mexico for you, whether you’ve got to have a beach, you love big cities, you must have cultural activities, you want the support of a region with many other English-speaking expats, or living your dream means finding an area undiscovered by tourists. You’ll find out how to make the move–passports, visas, car permits, pet regulations, furniture shipping. You’ll see what daily life is like–the ins and outs of keeping a car, finding an inexpensive apartment, building or remodeling, hiring employees, learning Spanish, staying in touch with family, educating your kids, getting a work permit, starting a business. Carol Schmidt and Norma Hair live in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage site and expat haven, while Rolly Brook is the only gringo in Lerdo, Durango, and the three authors share their range of personal experiences. Youll even learn some geography, history, and cultural differences, which can be a jolt or a delight as you explore complex, contradictory, charming, and always exhilarating Mexico.

Thanks, this information is for school bussiness project. Economic room own bath, bed, TV colonial style located at Gauymas downton close to shops, markets and bus station.
I’m not sure if I understand the question right- but I’m going to assume you are asking IF mature couples would be interested in a bed and breakfast located on the sea of cortez?
I would say definitely yes. Bed and breakfasts in that area are very popular and younger vacationers tend to prefer lively resorts.

Hi, im planning a trip to C.A from December to March and i cant wait but i need a little advice!
Has anyone done a route from Panama to Guatemala (or vice versa)?
How long did you do it in?
I’m planning on a 3 month trip and i’d like to take in the majority of places along the way, inc a few islands, ruins, beaches, highlands, colonial towns etc. I’d also like not to do it in a mad rush if poss!
What would you recommend as a budget?
I think around $3500 US dollars should be enough bearing in mind im not doing Mexico and dont plan on spending lots of time in the more expensive Costa Rica.
I’ll be after the cheapest hotels and food, and splurges on nights out wont play a massive part in my trip.
Thanks for your help!
3 months sounds good, $3500 is plenty of money and the trip from Panama to Guatemala could be done in a day or two, if that was the case.
I’ve travelled in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala – so I don’t know too much about the rest, but I’ll share with you what I know.
Guatemala is an amazing country and you can easily spend a month discovering all the amazing sites there!
Must do’s: Flores in Petén to visit Tikal and other surrounding ruins, Chichicastenango market, Antigua colonial town and hike to Pacaya volcano at sunset, towns around Lago Atitlán – these are just a few I mention, there’s lots and lots more! I found it super interesting to travel around Quetzaltenango to San Andrés Xecúl (the bright yellow church), Fuentes Georginas thermal baths…. Also you’ve got the super funky place of Livingston with a culture completely different to the rest of Mayan Guatemala – here there are the black, caribbean garifuna folks.
Honduras I found pretty boring and a bit too much of a hassle. I didn’t get a good feel here. But I DID LOVE staying for a good while in Utila island, as the laid back diver’s life there is just awesome! Breakfast, dive, lunch, dive, BBQ with the diver buddies and then partying after… and repeat the same routine all over again the next day! Awesome! Then Copan ruinas is also a must see, of course.
El Salvador surprised me. At first, when entering through it’s northwestern corner, it was the disgusting garbage everywhere that surprised me but it got better as I got more inland. The Ruta de las Flores (Juayúa etc) and the Ahuachapán area is nice! Also Parque Nacional Imposible with Manolo http://imposibletours.com/ is a must do in El Salvador! It goes from the town of Tacuba.
I’d recommend you to try and stay in hostels. Hostelbookers.com is good! Got more variety of hostels than most sites I know of.

my booked us it and it looks fairly decent. i saw the rooms and the pirate one looks pretty scary haha, so i hope i get the one thts all colorful. the pools look fun tho. anything else i should know? are there fun activites there? can i easily meet kids my age (16) at the hotel? any other advice or things i should i do there and stuff i should be aware of please tell me haha and also, is it fun?
The Carribean Beach is my fave at Disney World. There are lots of pools, but the main pool always has a mix of kids and teens and families and its big enough for teens to get to hang out together. As I am a mom with young kids I didn’t look at it from the perspective of a teen but I will say the main building with the food court and shops also has an arcade where tons of teens were. there is a lake/boating area and a few beaches with hammocks set up to hang out at also. I think youll enjoy it:)

Hey guys!
My family is beginning to plan our annual beach trip, and I was just wondering if y’all had any suggestions for a quiet beach in south eastern usa?
We want a beach with not a lot of people, and we prefer to rent a house than stay in a hotel. We do not care about amusement parks, just the beach and the ocean, so do y’all have any suggestions?
We have gone to the OBX for the past few years, but the water is somewhat chill there. We are thinking about maybe Cape San Blas in Florida.
So any suggestions?
btw, we live in central NC, and don’t wish to drive more than a day to get to wherever we go.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
