I have trouble finding anything in Wal mart not made in China. Many of their employees are on income assistance as they cannot afford to live on the meagre salary they pay. Over 6 billion dollars of your tax dollars (LINK)If you want to support the US, avoid WalMart.

Mexicoruss, do you have any recommendation on RV Caravans? I am thinking at going with one, but not too far and not for too long for the first time anyway.

Kidoo, there are many options out there. Caravans are coming back in Mexico. Fantasy, Adventure, Baja Amigos, and French speaking Quebec caravans are all operating down here along with the company I currently wagon master for ( I am leading one right now), Caravanas de Mexico de S.A de C.V. We also organize the tours for many of the other caravan companies, as we are legally licensed to operate tours in Mexico and have the government connections to organize escorts with the green Angels. We still have vacancies for Spring but ours is 82 days long and you indicate you are looking fro a shorter one, I am pretty sure Baja Amigos is full, I am not sure about Fantasy & Adventure, but i have linked their websites below. They tend to run shorter ones than we do.

You need to compare all of them, the per day cost, length and where they go. The longer the caravan the lower the per day cost in general. Most include RV parks, some do not include all of them, and make sure when they say 20 tours, they mean 20 full day tours not 5 tours with 4 stops on each one. You also need to look at how much windshield time there is in comparison to time to chill out. If you are retired you do not want a caravan that is on the road every day.

A caravan is a good way to get your feet wet, learn the paperwork and where you can safely take your RV. They also usually have tours to places that are tough to get to on your own, especially if you have never taken an RV to Mexico before. We use Green Angel escorts and we also are the agency for arranging them for Fantasy.

Here are the websites of a few

www.fantasyrvtours.com (fantasy)
www.bajaamigos.net (Baja Amigos)
www.mexicorvbuddies.com (caravanas de mexico)
www.adventurecaravans.com (adventure)
www.vrcamping.com/caravanes-soleil (caravanes soliel - French

At least 2 people who took our caravan last year are returning on their own this year and I am betting its a similar story with the other companies.

You do support The American economy by shopping at Walmart. Think about it. Its the same thing about buying a Mexican made auto or truck. Again-think about it so I don't have to post the obvious.

This is the same situation ( just different circumstances) as before.

It's Mexico - nothing will change.

Lynn-thanks for supporting the AMERICAN ECONOMY!

So am I correct in assuming you NEVER shop at Wal Mart.

I'm a geezer and I'm guessing that my 73 years trumps yours? "Sir" is me being old school and trying to show you and yours my sorrow as to what you are going through. I cannot imagine that. Prayers.

That is sweet in many ways, I am 53 and happy to be alive. I appreciate your input, I appreciate your thoughts. We will survive this. We are blessed with good friends and compatriots (probably the wrong word but whatever)

Russ, can't emagine what you're going through, you have my deepest sympathy.
Steve, you are old, I'm only 71.

My daughter posted this today, she misses her little brother a lot and it is a hard thing to reconcile......


Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my own familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Russ: condolences on your recent loss. That is so sad.

Thank you - yes it is very sad and tragic. Life throws these weird test at you.

He died on the 21st and 2 weeks late my daughter came to Peñasco with a whole bunch or people and we had a huge beach wedding (I think it was 72 guest), how's that for 2 different emotions separated by 2 weeks?

You're a better man than me, sir. But then, I guess we suck it up and do what we have to do. That said, take care of yourself. Prayers.

Thank you for your thoughts. It is a tough time for me, but more for my wife. I feel a need to comfort her and it is a difficult task....we will get through this .......somehow! Calling me sir makes me feel old, so refrain from that in the future......ha ha , thank you!
