Illegal Drugs: The Phillippine Solution - 8 years ago
It isn't just Mexico that has a big 'drug' problem. This is the Filipino solution...and it's rough. Bet Mexico and a few other countries are watching to see how this 'final' solution to the drug problem pans out.by MortimerSnerd - Off-Topic Forum
Re: Heat wave - 8 years ago
Oink... worked outside in -52, Camrose Alberta... that was cold enough for me... at -60... you take a pee and it freezes before it hits the ground... no yellow snow....fun to toss a cup of hot water into the air... instantly freezes into ice crystals. Oink... I have the coldest temp according to Wikipedia as: the coldest temperature ever recorded in Canada was -63 °C (-81.4 F) in Snag, Yukon,by MortimerSnerd - Off-Topic Forum
Re: Heat wave - 8 years ago
54C degrees is around 129.2F on the olde English scale.. ...toasty. These temperatures have only been matched by some record Death Valley temperatures. The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7 C (134 F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.by MortimerSnerd - Off-Topic Forum

Chicken Soup for Canada Customs - 8 years ago
...pure insanity prevails at Canada Customs... this is the kind of idiotic stuff that goes on at airports... they are looking for cash grab opportunities and is why I prefer to drive.

Re: cane toad? - 9 years ago
Well Steve, I showed the picture to my Susy and lo but she says that is none other than Mr. Sapo... we get these guys hopping into the front door quite regularly.

Re: ROAD FROM MAZATLAN TO PUERTO VALLARTA - 9 years ago
...just came down the libre from MZT to PVR a day or so ago... good shape all the way... for the most part I used the libre. I was able to travel from Culiacan to PVR in daylight no problem. Be carful on the road from Tepic down to Las Varas... a couple of Federale cops were killed in what seems like they were driving too fast on that twisty part of the road. We had a 2 hr delay..passed the manglby MortimerSnerd - Puerto Vallarta

Re: Dengue :a growing menace - 10 years ago
...something you might not be aware of... over 80% of the people who are bitten do not come down with dengue symptoms, or if they do the symptoms are very mild and are hardly noticed...but the asymptomatic carry a full virus load during the infectious stage....so they are outside enjoying a beer while being exposed to more Aedes aegypti bugs which specifically target humans for their next meal ..by MortimerSnerd - La Manzanilla - Tenacatita - Boca de Iguanas
Why I Don't Buy Travel Medical Insurance - 10 years ago
This sums it up nicely ...there is little point in buying travel insurance if the company is going to fine tooth comb a claimants medical and and prescription history in a desperate attempt to find any reason to reject a large claim....you think your covered but your probably not, and you shouldn't have to be a Philadelphia lawyer trying to interpret every exclusion and exception in tby MortimerSnerd - Off-Topic Forum
Re: Anyone out here REALLY understand the Obama Care deal - 11 years ago
... as a retired guy on a fairly low income, I don't pay a dime for my Canadian/BC healthcare coverage ...and YES I am even covered by the the Canadian healthcare plan down here in Mexico and without consideration of pre-existing conditions and all the rest of the fineprint BS. I don't buy travel insurance because it's all but worthless anyway, a total waste of money... Your thinkby MortimerSnerd - Off-Topic Forum

Re: Supermarket close to Conchas Chinas? - 11 years ago
Boo... Leys is the closest supermarket to Conchas Chinas (was staying at the WVI complex for a couple of weeks before heading south to Melaque)...Leys is a tad chaotic, the store is a bit too small for all the stuff they stock, but prices are as good as anywhere. Next closest is the Mega Store down on the main drag coming from the airport, but I found Mega a tad expensive... after that its WallyWby MortimerSnerd - Puerto Vallarta

Re: Save a few Dollars or Loonies - 12 years ago
...for those NOB driving down from British Columbia, past experience is.... if you keep all your receipts, including the old insurance policy with expiry day, your receipt when you cancel your import certificate for Mexico AND your FMM, bring all that stuff that to a ICBC insurance agent and they will process a refund for the period of time you were in Mexico and covered by the Mexican auto insurby MortimerSnerd - La Manzanilla - Tenacatita - Boca de Iguanas
Re: No Change at Tenacatita - 12 years ago

Re: Flights from Toronto to PV - 13 years ago
Here's a couple of good sites... and they have no affiliation with the booking agencies or airlines. You just go to the airline site to book. ....(think this is the one used by some travel agents) One of the problems is your booking a seat still in high season... shoulder or low starts Jan 6-8.

HOLA all ye Canucks ....thirsting for the nectar of the maple tree on your pancakes? Shopping at the Costco here in Toluca I noticed gallon (946ml) bottles of CANADIAN Maple syrup on sale... price about the same as back home.
