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

We parked our truck in the large lot next to the Gordo Banks Pangas while we fished on one of the pangas. The passenger door key lock was pulled from the door to gain access to vehicle, inside ransacked some items taken. We did not leave our wallets in the vehicle. Best to park in the crowded parking lot and do not leave valuables inside vehicle.  Don Schenk

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

a.  Airport Discussion
The new airport terminal is great, but heed these simple rules.
All International flights arrive and depart from the new Terminal. The Upper level is the departing drop off and is easy to drive up to. The arriving level is downstairs and difficult to near impossible to get close to. I would suggest that you have your guests text your phone when they come through customs, exit the doors and go upstairs to the southern end of the curb at the departing level. You can wait off site ( Best Western Hotel lot) and then drive to curb on upper level and pickup with ease

b.  Property Tax Discussion
          (1)  The property tax situation in La Paz is interesting. I would comment that the cards are honored in Los Cabos and have been for a long time. I owned property there for many years and used my card as do others, I know in that area.
The Settlement Company® for years has provided a Property Tax and Bank Trust payment service for our clients.  Ciao,  John
          (2)  I went to La Paz today, paid my property tax, asked twice for the 50% senior discount and was told no.  I did receive the 30+5% Discount.  Cheryl
