Welcome Balu,
I'm afraid I have some good new and some bad news. I think whichever one of you is the programmer can make a go of it, provided that their jobs are in the USA, and that they can access them remotely. But the pediatrician would not b...
Dear Bill,
Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Amigos de los Animales. Nadine and I started that organization about ten years ago. I can assure you that it does not profit anyone, except the animals that it helps. In fact I invite you...
Hey Henry, I like your photos. As I looked at them I realized there was something at work there. Suddenly I remembered something about the Vanishing Perspective. I went out that afternoon and saw things with a new eye, found several examples, tried to capture a few with my camera, and discovered how difficult it can be to do well. Now I really appreciate your photos. Thanks for helping me to see things in a different way and to give myself some new challenges. By the way, I always enjoyed your technical articles in the Pearl years ago- thanks for those as well (Ever collect them in a book?).

p.s. the Personal Info section needs another option for the Area in Mazatlan category: La Isla de la Piedra (and please, not 'Stone Island'!) Have you seen the rock for which the island is named?
Henry I will be back to mazatlan the 6th-29th. It was planed for 12th-29th but today I could not wait! I changed it to the 6th. Hope this trip is as great as the March trip when I stayed on stone island! Wish me luck.

Hi Henry,
I was scouting around for historical info on mzt and found your brief outline via google. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Am wondering if you have more data. I am organizing an online presentation of mazatlan ( non-profit ) and am searching for quality info. Will be visiting mzt again for la navidad, but though I'd always like to meet new folks, realistically speaking won't be able to visit all my families as it is.
Feel free to contact me at gmarkyoung@gmail.com. If you're curious, I've lived on and off in mzt for 15 years, but mostly work as software programmer in the states. Currently coding on MS OS team, but don't be too impressed. I just work on the games that come with Vista and Windows 7.
Hi Henry and Nadine,
I've browsed this site a few time and always find something useful! Your insights and knowledge seem well researched. We were there in January and have purchased a condo that we get in July/August 2009 so I am quite intrigued with all the tips and tidbits. We coming down in November this year to vacation and also do a little research into furnishing our new condo. Since this is not to be our full time residence yet, we don't have used items to bring across the border and it sounds like bringing new furniture is not easily done. We have been referred to Brad Eishold and have been in touch with him via email and plan on meeting him etc in Nov. I was wondering if you have any other suggestions for furniture shopping and accessories? Any advise or tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Shawn & Vic

Hi, I visited Mazatlan twice, with my boyfriend who has family here. We had thought of buying a small vacation home here at one time, he fell ill and has since passed away. I dont know when or if I will ever be able to visit here again, and this site is a way for me to visit and rememeber the good times. Im so glad you started it. I always check in to your web site and check for homes.
thanks again
Arliss

I tried to email you this info via your email contact info but it got bounced back that failed to send. So.... here's more info for you for your program.
I was so fortunate to have stumbled upon your site. It's amazing, the amount of info and even coupons you have.
I have 2 suggestions for you..... Aromaspa(contact Knute - he is the owner)
#320 Mariano Escobedo
Entre Belasario Dominguez
Historical Center
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico 82000
982.11.11 or 982.52.11
famousroyalspa@earthlink.net
& Randi's Happy Horses(contact Randi - she is the owner - I don't have her info)...they are both highly recommended on the cruise forums, that's how i found out about them.. lots of people are booking services with these vendors and I am sure it will help you to have them on your coupon list.
BTW - I would love to contact Antonio's Van Tours but there was no email address. Would you be able to send me his email info or give him my email or phone number below? I would love to book him for his tour to Copala for the full day @ $80 p/day & with your discount for 3 people. If he isn't available... are there a few other driver's whose email you can provide to me? I'd like to book it as soon as possible as we are leaving NYC on 4/26/08 & arriving on 5/1. I'd like to hire someone to go to Copala while we are in port. Thanks so much for your help. I can't call as I am in NYC and out of work. I just got laid off and am trying to save on my expenses on this trip. So any help you can provide would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
Lisa

we have not been able to find Mauricio who owned the Shipwreck Restaurant. Do you know where he is? He had the most consistently good food in Mazatlan.
