mexico started out being fun because it's a 3rd rate 3rd world place for adventure if you can stomach it. not for the weak of heart or mind.

now it is becoming a "pretender" to joining the rest of the world in class. sorry........not gonna get there yet.


You know, I have to take exception to this point of view. It only applies if you expect to travel U.S.-style at cheap rates in a foreign country. Mexico is not the U.S. Maybe someday it will be, I don't know, but I don't go there wishing it was. If you do, stick to Cancun and cruise ships. I get great service with a Mexican flair in most places. Service that could NOT be duplicated anywhere in the U.S. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, stop reading right here, because the rest will offend you.

This attitude is a close relative, if not exactly, what is meant by the phrase "Ugly American", and the image of the tourist that doesn't speak the local language and thinks that if he talks loud enough, the third-world locals will understand. I mean, doesn't EVERYONE speak gringo? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Mike, you've been down often enough -- get a clue, brother, or stick to travelling in more familiar places.

Igor - What I learned I've already stated... next time stick with the bus. It's within my comfort zone.

Greg - The moon is on it's way to full and was bright in the daytime sky - beautiful.

Now if y'all will excuse me, I need to go cook up some wheat thins and yogurt.:dudette:

I have also sent an email with a c/p of your post with this addition:

Dear Laura

Please take notice of this report on the office in La Paz Mexico. Many of us travel to La Paz by air and would like to be assured that when we rent a car that the contract is upheld. The members of Baja Nomads have many years of experience and our suggestions are taken to heart. If this situation is not resolved I can assure you that the Nomad board will keep it alive and it will effect not only business in Mexico but in the US as well. I'm sure you and everyone else involved only wants what is fair.
