Just a word of caution, we made a pickup at the Old Terminal, there
were
6 Federal Police in front and they were checking the dates on US car
for
registration violations. The officer saw me drive through with
Oregon
Plates and looked very close and on my next go-around pulled me to
the
curb. He asked for drivers license and wanted to see the
registration. I
had left the new stickers on my desk in Los Barriles. He had a
recorded
message on his cell phone in English, not real good English, telling
me
that I could not drive a vehicle in Mexico with out current
registration.
I called my wife on my cell phone as he stood there and asked her to
bring the stickers to the Airport! I told him she was coming from
Los
Barriles, he wanted to know how long she would be, I told him an
hour,.....He said she did not need to come and that I needed to put
the
new stickers on the car right away and that I could go.....I saw
them
later going through the parking lot looking for more violations....I
called wife and she had not left the house so I saved her the
trip.;;;
Check your vehicle papers and make sure they are up to date! The

Most dishwashers now have electronic timers that use computer chips.
Electronics are vulnerable to power surges, such as often happen
during Baja storms.
Our less than 2 year old Whirlpool Model DU850 SWPQ, bought from
Itsca in La Paz,
did not survive last summer storms since it was plugged straight
into the house circuit. Add a power surge protector
to your washer's power cord. These are available for a few $$ in
most hardware stores.
===========================
Has anyone ever purchased a pay as you go cell phone like Net 10

We can go to La Paz or to Cabo to have quality work done. . Thank

==============================
Be careful out there!! On the way back to LB from the airport today,
3 cars were being ticketed by the Federal Policia going south, and 2
others going north. The one going north passed me twice to catch
someone else. 3 had Mexican plates, 1 had California plates, and one
had no plates at all. The Federal Policia were four different cars.
Looks like they may be cracking down on "over the speed limit", and
are not just picking out Gringos. I put it on cruise control, and it
took me 1 hour instead of 45 minutes, but I also didn't get stopped.

PETS
a. For current regulations for bringing pets into Mexico, scroll
down about 2/3 of the page at:
http://www.iatatravelcentre.com/MX-Mexico-customs-currency-airport-tax-regulations-details.htm
or you can go directly to the government website for info at
http://www.senasica.gob.mx/?id=623&idioma=2
Also, the officials at the La Paz airport are very fussy so be sure
to bring original documents, signed in BLUE ink by the vet.

b. 1. travel with current vaccination papers and
all other pertinent information on your pet.
Keep water and food with you for your pet until time to kennel your
pet for airport departure which was 45 minutes @ LAX.
We were also advised "Pet on Board" before take-off.
$200 round trip ticket for pet
2. Departure from Los Cabos. We
departed July 31st. Not a problem. Followed same procedure as above.
Mexican law, you need to have current vaccine, check with local
vets. Even if you have a 3 year vaccine which covers your stay, it
is mandatory you vaccinate your pet for current year.
You will need to make sure your "pet is on Board" they will not tell
you on departure.
===================
I would like to second the endorsement and recommendation of the
Animal Health Veternarios,
M.V.Z. Gretel E. de la Torre Magdaleno and M.V.Z. Emanuel Sosa
Correa, from Las Cuevas. (See BPE# 671 dated 04November)
When my cat stopped eating, drinking and cleaning herself, I took
her to the local vet who diagnosed her as being "stressed". I took
her home and two days later she was worse. A friend recommended
Gretel and Emanel who immediately recognized that my cat was having
liver failure and immediately put her on an IV with electrolites and
antibiotics. After three days in the hospital, she was fine. This
husband and wife team of vets, saved my cat's life and I will
forever be eternally grateful. If you need veternarian services,
call them at 044 624 129 56 40.

b. Dogs Entering La Paz By Air - I was told approx 2 months ago by
an official at the airport that requirements had changed when
bringing in a dog by air. You need an updated current official
letter stating the health of the dog, date and type of vaccines, a
separate rabies certificate and you need a declaration by the vet
stating your dog is parasite free. Yesterday in the LP airport two
people arrived from LAX with dogs. These dogs were held until we
found a vet that could come to the airport and do a parasite test,
give the dog another rabies vaccine and issue a certificate of
health. One of the individuals had a certificate issued in the US or
Ca but the letter was signed in black ink and the official at the
airport insisted it was a copy and would not accept it. I left
before the vet arrived so do not know the outcome or what would have
happened if parasites were found. Make sure your docs are up to
date! - Dhorea Ryon,
