you're on the right track tom.
I've grown weary of the rat race and insane rents here and am also looking forward to a more simple lifestyle down south soon.
as soon as this DSL contract is up in January!

Hello Whodat,
Where are looking to move to? I have lived in your area some time ago, and certainly understand the obscene rents you are talking about.
I cannot wait to get out of here. I probably plan on heading south in September, and will not be coming back. Nothing here to come back to but
problems. | Quote: | Originally posted by whodat54321

Still checking areas out, but...
the universal advice from people here is Playas de Tijuana. This beach community, which features the magnificant bull ring by the sea, reminds me a
lot of Misssion Beach in the 70's, when rents were reasonable, people were mellower, and it wasn't so darn crowded.
There is at least one nomad (JESSE?) that calls that area home, and rentals of all sizes seem to be plentiful. I will keep my current US side job for
the near term, but probably will change employers to a south bay employer after settling in to shorten my commute.
The only 2 areas of TJ I have seen and do NOT reccomend are areas of Zona Norte and Libertad near the fence. Lots of dopers and people smugglers in
these areas.

Tom you lucky b--t
I cant wait, You'll find everything you need and more in Baja. Most of all, time, to enjoy it! I get down to Baja sur alot during th winter months and
have to make money thru out the summer here. Oh sure got the house, got the suv,got all the other stuff too, But, funny thing about it is, I dont have
the time to enjoy it. The folks in Mexico will teach you to slow down and enjoy life. YA lucky guy you!!

Hey Markitos,
It sounds like you wont be far behind me on making the move. Keep in touch, and I will have a cold one ready for you. Where in La Paz was that rental
for $135.00? Sounds too good to be true | Quote: | Originally posted by Markitos

It was on the road right behind Abaroa Marina . And it's well protected by a NARLEY poodle. Darn thing scared the sheet outa me!Much to the delight of
the locals. I might add. And no worries there are other places around too once you start talking with folks.
