Please help. Airlines destroyed my cushion for my wheelchair and it poses a huge health threat. We live here in Los Barriles part time and wondered if anyone is flying down Wednesday afternoon or Thursday / Friday and would be willing to bring another one down for me. I would fed-ex it overnight pay any extra baggage charges and be eternally grateful. It is 15 x 16 x 3 and weighs 8 lbs. Reward offered.

Ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel was not available throughout the Baja last winter. I had heard that ULS diesel will be available Baja-wide (Baja-long?) by this past June. Can anyone verify this, and if it is not available everywhere, can anyone please fill me in where it can be found, and where it cannot be found? Jim Skelton, Vernon, B.C.

My wife and I were stopped by Federales on the toll road between SJD and the airport last week. When we were pulled over there were already two others who had been stopped and a third after us. Each was a gringo with American plates or a rental car. They told me that I was driving 5 km over the speed limit and that I could either pay $US60 on the spot or go to the station and pay $120. They wanted to see my driver’s license (a photocopy was not good enough), registration and insurance. They asked me to get out of the car and walk down the street to the patrol car where they asked if I had ever gone to court in the US for drunken driving, speeding or drugs. They would not allow my wife to come with me and told her to stay in the car but were very polite and gentlemanly to her. They told me that they would check my US records on their laptop computer that they had in the patrol car. I had some serious doubts that they were able to do that. I simply paid the $60 and left but just wanted to give everyone else the heads up that this was going on. Buzz Fedorka, bm@fedorka.com

Here's our experience in La Paz regarding arriving with our big dog.

Although the dog arrival system has been consistent for us for many years at the Los Cabos airport, which requires vaccine and rabies certifications, my husband just arrived to the La Paz airport and the requirements are definitely different. You will need to show proof that your pet is free of fleas, ticks and worms, a document which we did not have and is not routinely provided as a proof of health with our veterinarians. Of course our pets are free of fleas with the help of monthly treatments as well as the 20 degree nights in Sun Valley, Idaho assures it! Worms are treated routinely. We had to wait while the woman in charge summoned a vet, who when he arrived quoted the worry of Parvo and Rocky Mountain Tick Fever, which was the reason for the change in the document requirements. The airport official made us administer 4 pills to our dog for worms, they looked very much like Pepto Bismol, and only then was she allowed out of the crate to be pottied. All to say, it is a 'FREE of Worms, Ticks, Fleas' document which you need to arrive with, at least in La Paz. Buen suerte! Theresa Comber, combertheresa@hotmail.com
