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...

- Hi Henry, My name is Liz, I live in Chicago but I'm seriously considering moving back to Mexico to Zapopan, Jalisco. I recently separated and have no desire to be in Chicago, I'm trying to find the safest yet economical way of hauling my furniture and belongings to Mexico. I heard of a Robert Hudson that does a good job on this, I haven't been able to reach him on his numbers and some of the websites do not link. I found this one, but cannot reach him through those numbers http://www.movingtomexicoguy.com/# - If all possible, can you let me know of any info, comment, advice, you may have? You can email me at elizabethaceves@hotmail.com. Thank you!

- Hi Henry. My name is Austin. I am new to the site. I have a question for you. My wife and I are coming to mazatlan for a getaway. We plan on staying for 6 months: the length of a tourist visa. I have been reading all of your pages and found quite a lot of neat things. What I can't find anymore is your page that shows 3 different budget places to stay. I believe one of them was an $8 a night motel. We are both on social security and are looking to save money while there for 6 months before moving to the Philippines where my father lives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank 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?
Thanks.

- 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.
Thanks again for posting the history stuff!

Shawn said… - 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

Arliss Solano said… - 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
