  Slingbox update – I switched over to a very high speed internet in the US with 4 mps upload capability. I now get extremely good resolution on a 42” TV down here. That gives me access to all the programming from my Dish Receiver located in the US including the networks.

     We crossed at Tecate on 7 Nov using the suggested route from another post. That new route worked just fine. In fact, I may continue to use that route. There was one small hitch. When we made the left turn onto “Santana”, there was a large pile of dirt and some construction. Turned out not to be a problem and was easy to manuever around in my extended van. Here is a link to the route: https://goo.gl/maps/yAC73rUbv7K2.

RECYCLE NEWS!! DANCE PARTY COMING!! East Cape Recycling Baja is excited to announce our 4th Annual "Rock n' Roll for Recycling Dance Party on FRIDAY, November 27, 2015, 7:30-10:30pm. Come dance the night (and the calories!) away under the stars, poolside, at East Cape Casa & RV Resort (across from the Modelorama on 20th de Noviembre). We have the fabulous Mango Bar Orquestra (of Club El Gecko fame) who will keep you on the dance floor all night long with their versatile sounds! There will be abundant beer, wine, fresh popcorn, Omar's famous Margaritas, Tequila shooters, and maybe even some tasty Jello Shots for the big kids! Admission is $250p or $15usd, of which 100% goes to support Recycling and Environmental Education in our community. If you would like to bring a glass for your drinks (plastic only as we will be near the pool), it will save lots of plastic cups from the recycle bins. PLEASE NOTE: there is NO onsite parking! Please park on Calle Costa Brava or in the Parque de la Laguna and walk through the gate. Questions: lynnmirassou@gmail.com

ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  Anyone flying to Vancoucver area, Canada could take 2 sweaters to mail COD - tessabarriles@gmail.com  or 1410427

b.  Cell Phone Discussion: 

     1)  Before leaving AT&T's Viva Mexico plan for its Mobile Share Value Plan assess the pros and cons carefully. The BPE write-up by AV discussed the data advantages of MSV but did not point out that the plan charges by the minute for phone calls between the U.S. and Mexico (or within Mexico?). The charge varies on the plan flavor. The VM plan does not charge for minutes up to your limit. We concluded, with the help of a knowledgeable AT&T rep, that the Viva Mexico plan was still more cost effective for our needs.

      2)  The AT&T Mobile Shared Value Plan looks like a very, very good option. I read the terms of service very carefully and there were no apparent limits on how long you could remain in Mexico with that plan. You must have at least two phones with AT&T. AT&T bought the number 3 & 4 cell carriers in Mexico which gives them some advantages. T-Mobile has a very nice plan but their terms of service can restrict how long you can use it in Mexico. I have the Google's Project FI cell plan on my phone which has worked perfectly here and enroute. For $30 per month I get unlimited talk, text and 1 Gig of data. If I use half the data, I'm refunded the unused half. Free international text. As long as I'm on WiFi, all calls are free to the US. Roaming is 20 cents per minute internationally.
