EL FARO !


It is quite obvious that you will have lots of extra / empty space with that whimpy packing list, so....

Would you please pick up a few desalination plants for me??

Maybe one for my place in Loreto, and one for our "neighbors" down tha road at Loreto Bay Co....

And.... maybe some madium sized enviro-safe storage for all that salt... Perhaps the 1,000 cubic mile volume ones....

Thanks amigo!

I can't live in Mexico without


The olive oil you already mentioned, EVOO from Costco,

A nice big wedge of Reggiano Parmesan,

At least 5 pounds of DeCecco Angel Hair pasta,

a decent teabag for every day I am here

and lots of pencils and Skittles to give the local children who are always underfoot checking out all my stuff!!

Don't forget your English-Spanish Dictionary, either. :dudette:

not!! the line, Carnival, says YOU CAN'T BRING BOOZE ON BOARD!!!!!!
what????????????:fire:



Mike, Mike.
In all your travels, you should have figured out that you never comply with these rules. We were on a Norwegian cruise to Alaska a few years ago, also with strict " no booze " rules. Ignored them and had close to a case of scotch and vodka in our suitcases. No problem boarding and when on display in the cabin, never heard a word of protest.
Better quality booze and beats the hell out of their watered down drinks at $6.00 a pop.:biggrin::biggrin:

That LA Cetto winery also has good t-kill-ya at a low price. Taste it first along with all the other liquid things they have. A good campground next door, in case you have a few too many.

Just returned from Carnival cruise yesterday. Since I planned on having good wine at dinner via some gift certificates I brought two box wines for the room (they really weren't that bad) also Coca Colas, water and Star$$$ Double shots. I got a picture of sunrise over Abreojos I will post later.
