Moving To Zihuatanejo!!!
We started traveling in Mexico in 1982. Traveling in a 1967 VW Squareback and a tent, we explored Baja and were hooked. We soon purchased an oil field office/5th wheel trailer and parked in at Brisa ...

You know the intersection with the blue and white tres delfinas glorietta? Is that within summer-heat-walking-distance from your home? There was a taxiista parada about halfway down to the beach enramada restaurants. Curiosity (?) Is there a municipal bus that serves that area? Paying 90 pesos for un ride to centro seemed a bit pricey. It would translate to something like 140 or 160 pesos by today's rates. We used to bring the girl's to that beach because of the calm water. I used to raid paperback bookshelves. No longer necessary with my NOOK and Kindle.
Note on health...it sure seems genetics plays a huge part on senior's health. You may be smirking about health issues today -- similar to what a friend used to do when drinking hundreds of dollars worth of powders, potions, elixir's and miracle preventatives every morning. He spend hours in his lap pool, jogged, raved, harped and cajoled people who didn't go to that extreme. Got an email from Michael his son the first of the month "Dad had a serious stroke and can't talk and his bank account is all locked up because he cannot remember his pin numbers".
Health comes to a serious pothole when an impossible hospitalization becomes a reality and after being released they hold their hand out for ten thousand dollars. May I suggest looking at joining IMSS? Health care may be "cheap" when compared to the absurd rates in the USA but I can assure you when I was released after 11 days with a broken arm the twenty one thousand DOLLAR bill they slapped on me was anything but a joke. It became serious when the cops ensured I did not leave the hospital until the balance became $00.00 IMSS managed to convince them I was covered. My arm required 5 hours on the table in Mexico and another five hours in Sebastopol CA. The titanium plate and screws cost 2200 dollars* and had to be flown in from DF. Cheap? Right! The cost of the USA hospitalization was 55 thousand dollars.
Two stainless steel shishkabob pins first used then discarded cost over 200 dollars in Mexico.
ONLY medical treatment to stabilize a patient is done at no cost in Mexico. An acquaintance was in hospital for four days after suffering a supposed heart attack. He paid over ten thousand dollars.
A lady in Totonaka RV park, slipped on a morning-dew RV step and ten thousand dollars later returned. She was hospitalized in Guaymas. Oh by the way, that was in 1988 at an IMSS facility. A simple lens replacement for one cataract eye cost two thousand six hundred dollars.
Yes my Mercedes 600 series costs less than your Bentley dept.
