When driving to the San Jose airport make sure you have all your vehicle papers, registration, license, insurance papers as there is a new scam out there. We were luckie, we had everything but I know of 5 other people who have been checked there as well in the last three weeks and of course it's $100. US on the spot if you don't want to bother with going to the police station!!!!!!!!!!

We just paid a Fidio for a friend at HSBC in Cabo. We started at the old
location near Cape Marine and found they had moved that branch to Plaza
Bonita. The new branch at Plaza Bonita does not have the Fidio Office,
that we found had been moved to the new Walmart Plaza. Good news is that
they have lots of parking, easy access, its right between Sam's Club and
Walmart and they added a helper for Brenda in the office so its faster
too...The roads in Cabo are still impossible and the road project will
probably not be done for months! Don Schenk

Karaoke Fridays at Tio’s Beginning Friday, November 6th at 9 PM, karaoke returns to Tio Pablo’s! Come sing your heart out! $20-peso beers and lots of room to dance. From 9 PM - 1AM every Friday night.

Where can I find the requirements for dual citizenship (US and Mexico). Also anyone have a used one person sit upon kayak they do not need? Thanks jeatte@hughes.net

=======================

I used my B of A debit card at one of our local banks ATM to get 5000 pesos.
My B of A account was debited $385.21. That’s an exchange rate of 12.98.
I looked on the internet and the exchange rate that day was 13.35
I was also charged a “non bank ATM fee” of $5.00 and a Banamex ATM withdrawal fee of $3.85.
That brought the exchange rate down to 12.69.

Yes, how many of us have had to report no fish today? There's a reason. Do a google search for "Oro de Cortez" Part 1,2 and 3 to find out why. You can see it in an English, and Spanish version. Very important information about our fishery. Ken E.
