SHOPPERS CORNER
Additional info to what Cheryl provided: Jim and I went to Aramburo's in Cabo for the first time in ages and found all sorts of American goodies---seasonings, cans of soup (Progresso) that we hadn't seen here in a long time. We went in to wander around and had to go back for a basket.
To the person looking for an electric stove: try the GE store in Cabo, across from Home Depot. You can get anything you want there. Chris White

QUESTIONS

a. Does anyone know if we need a notarized letter of permission from the lien
holder on our car to get an Auto Permit in Mexico? We are going through
Nogales, AZ border to the ferry to La Paz then on to Los Barriles.
If you have gotten one, how do you describe it to the lien holder - the bank
holding the note? They didn't know what we were talking about.

We will be driving a 1999 Honda CRV which is in new mechanical condition. I have in line gas filters, but am confused as to what is the best gas additive?
Please give me your suggestion and why your idea is best. We also want to fish light tackle for food and fun. Any suggestions what equipment I should take.
Would also like to do some free diving if the water is not to cold. What is your suggestion as to best free diving locations and what we may find.
At my advanced age safety is on my forehead.
I have searched the internet for Mexican insurance and found that most companies are close in cost and coverage. What is your choice for best policy and coverage.
Would really appreciate your input. Anything you can suggest to help an old fart and is child bride get up to speed in again traveling in Baja will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Larry and Jacquie
