Beachware
Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 09:54 PM UTC

Is there a place, preferably in central Guadalajara, to purchase MIRO beachware? I have tried all sorts of searches for these items, both in general and for Guadalajara specifically, with no results. We have purchased this for my wife on several occasions along the Yucatan, but have not been back in a while and she would like more. We are planning on being in Guadlajara in August for a wedding and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

Guaymas to Bahai de Kino
Posted: Sun March 16, 2008 07:24 PM UTC

We would like to have a look at Bahia Kino on our way north from Guaymas.

Should we drive from Guaymas to Hermosillo on Highway 15, and then west on Highway 16 to Kino? I realize that this is the long route.

Or has anyone driven on on Highway 15 to Highway 24, northwest on 24, up to 16, and then west on to Kino? What is the condition of Highways 24 and 16?

Thanks for any information you can give us.

Dennis and Doreen

Commuting to Zapopan
Posted: Fri September 14, 2007 11:56 PM UTC

I have just been offered a term abroad position in Guadalajara, but it would probably involve staying in Zapopan. What is the approximate commute time from Zapopan to the center of Guadalajara? Is there regular public transport? Is life in Zapopan really all that different from Guadalajara?

Please don't delete this thread - a six month term abroad doesn't really count as relocation does it?

Road Trip!!!
Posted: Tue June 19, 2007 05:09 AM UTC

My best friend and I are thinking of a little road trip from Nuevo Mexico to the Sonora region. She wants to see Puerto Penasco, hang at a beach and just vegetate. I just want to wander along the shore, eat some good food, and perhaps see something cultural/historical. To keep things leisurely I don't THINK we want to go further south than Guyamas (sp?) but am a bit overwhelmed by our choices.

Any ideas? any particular VT pages I should peruse as we plan this trip?

*I'm soooo excited!!!*
