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

a.  This morning Jimmy and I took our friends to the Los Barriles bus station so they could take the EcoBajaTour Shuttle to the Los Cabos airport. They purchased their tickets a week ago. We decided to stay a few minutes and visit to make sure things were o.k. The shuttle pulled up at the right time and we were saying goodbye when the shuttle bus driver said he was sorry but the shuttle was full with La Paz passengers, so too bad and adios. Our friends said they had tickets but that didn't matter. Luckily we had nothing pressing at the moment so our friends got their money back and we drove them to the airport. We believe this is unacceptable and can only say use the EcoBajaTour shuttle at your own risk!

b.  TELEVISION/COMPUTER INFORMATION
From a contributor, it is possible to watch network TV on your computer from www.ustvnow.com .  You can receive the major networks free of charge by signing up. You could watch it on your TV if you have a computer attached but the resolution is not perfect. Remember, if your sharing your internet connection, you will consume a lot of bandwidth watching TV!

With the help of another contributor, it is possible to gain full use of the Roku Box in Baja by programming your router to use a proxy server from: http://www.proxyserverlist.org/ . This is pretty geeky stuff to setup and it differs with each router but it will work.

Remember the Roku Box is a TV set top unit that will connect your TV to your internet (wired or wireless) that will allow you easy access to a variety of programming. You can add www.ustvnow.com  as a channel on the Roku Box. That worked well on my Roku. Proxy Servers are not required for www.ustvnow.com to work successfully in either application.

I just started following prices on www.shopobot.com.  There is no need to sign-up, you can simply click on the bottom of the screen for categories of interest. The site will show you current pricing and historical prices as well.

FISHING REPORTS - Local's fishing reports do NOT need to be signed.  Just tell the TRUTH!

Example #1:  30 miles  north caught 2-40lb dorado and one 5' wahoo. 
Example #2:  Charter boat  went south.  Skunked but saw 2 huge pods of dolphins & one whale.


QUESTIONS

a.  Does anyone know of someone in the Buena Vista or Los Barriles area

b.  Has anyone in the area had experience with the wireless internet that you get from the tower north of Los Barriles? Do you find that it is dependable and fast enough for streaming movies and calling on Skype? Thank you! sballier@live.com
