Speaking of boxes...
have you ever been to the WalMart on Palm or the Target on Broadway in Chula
Vista? The parking lots are full of boxes from everthing like baby strollers to 27" TV's. These are the closest chainstores to the San Ysidro
crossing and the shoppers all try and make their new purchases look slightly used before they head on home to TJ! Guess some of you (and myself),
have used the trick too! Saludos, H.

That doesn't have to do with smuggling
It has to do with being able to fit the entire family back in the car along with the new purchases.

OK, whatever you say JR.!
Hey I remember reading a while ago that you were from Pico Rivera. Did you go to El Rancho High School? I taught there for about 5 years 1994-1999,
before moving down South to be with my hubby.
When were you there? H.

Up until 1969
I went to 10th and 11th grade at El Rancho and then moved to San Diego. The El Rancho water polo team just wasn't cutting it for me

Why not, there was even a pool in the middle of the campus!
I was wondering if you knew the principal, she was a graduate, but in '64, the principal when I started there was a graduate, I think in '69. Dave
Verdugo?
Water polo, I think they had a pretty good football team in those days!
Bueno, ya me voy...my students will be waiting for me soon. We've got a cool experiment with crickets to get to! see ya, H.

Oh yeah,
I knew of Dave Verdugo as he graduated with my older friends 2 years ahead of me.
And yes indeedy, El Rancho had a nice pool. Too bad most Cholos don't know how to swim
Although there were a few surfers there, competing against schools like Huntington Beach and Westminster wasn't very pretty for the El Rancho Water
Polo Team 
We did pretty well in the races though.

our fm3 is expiring tomorrow.....it was obtained at the consulate in Phoenix originally, but we left our newly acquired home in Puerto Vallarta well
outside of the 30 day period to apply for renewal....the consulate said we could only renew it in P.V......does anyone know how we can obtain the 60
day extension we read about?

Dave is right as far as I know there are no extensions at all you need to get a your annul renewal. and if you are 5 min. late you will pay a hefty
fine. drive fast.

I dont know anything about an extension(you would definitely have to be in PV to do anything period) but if you miss your renewal you basically have
to start all over.

If you have your FM3 stamped EXIT when you leave baja, you will have 15 days after your return to start the renewal. You do not have to start over
if you are late, pay a hefty fine like Bruce mentioned. After paying the late find once, I make sure I get my exit stamped when leaving if it's
anywhere near my renewal date. And yes, renewals can only be made where you reside in Mex. If you flew back from PV, they might have been stamped.

I don't think the fine is that much and it is up to the discretion of Migra. I would find a preparer and have him/her plead your case with the local
office. Sometimes they can be civil about it. Once I was two weeks late and paid a 400 peso fine. Where they get you big time is if you blow off
renewal and re-apply. (Yes Virginia, they do keep records.:biggrin

The fine I paid for being late was about $20 a day - but I understand it goes up after a few days at this rate. I was having a local preparer handel
it that time.
