have a wonderful adventure boys...Tomas was asking about you and the kareoke kids! Seems like Conapesca site only gives one license per email address
so maybe try another email account to do them...maybe get the kids their own gmail address for it.

Yes, that is one of the glitches. One year I could not print up Les's after doing one for one of our guests. Sharr's idea of simply creating another
email address is a good one.

another way is if you are a member of Discover Baja they can get them and have them to you in no time... have never had a problem of course you
have to also purchase the membership...
They do have auto insurance and other things available online..
Bring back some Dorado filets and drop them off at our place outside of Westcliffe...
Have a safe trip...

Thanks Shari! Hopefully we will make it to your neck of the 'woods' again in Nov-Dec. Got Conapesca site to work, it was actually big brother Chase
making sure that my card was not stolen. Changed credit card and got the other 2. What I found for multiple licenses on my account I had to change the
start date for it to be valid....it would not let me create another license even with a different name. I like having it all in one email, that way I
always have a copy on my phone.

Blanca's idea IS a good one...however, the Discover Baja idea is a better one...let someone else handle the headache (that's what our membership is
for).
That's where we normally get our FMMs.
Next up is a trip to Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles for our Residente Permanente applications at the end of this month.

We just returned from the East Cape this week and the fishing was fantastic. Not many dorado, but the ones that we happened on, were very large. Got
a 60 lb bull trolling for marlin and he had a 40ish lb cow running with him. She came unbuttoned 5 seconds before the gaff was going to find its new
home; had the leader in hand! 
The water inshore was green. Visibility at Cabo Pulmo was only about 6 feet and was cold. Felt more like December, but outside was 80 degrees and
blue. The tuna schools we found were slightly larger than footballs. Avg 12-25 lbs.
Good luck and have a safe trip.
I'm envious!!

The easiest way to get your license in La Paz is to go to the BCS Contigo Kiosko located in the Soriana mall
at the top of Colosio near City Club. This is a government kiosk that I understand can handle many of the services provided by the government though
I have only needed fishing licenses. Last time I used them to get a last minute fishing license for a friend so he could fish with me in the morning
I learned they were open until 10:00 at night. Best of all they don't add additional handling fees like some of the outfitters have been known to do.
I understand the current problem is that insufficient licenses were printed this year. At the kiosk this is not an issue as they print your license
right there.
Hope you have a great trip. I just got home yesterday after two weeks in Baja with the last week in La Paz.

The ABSOLUTE best and most economical fishing in La Paz is at the Bravo market. Good yellowfin tho has been spotty. Best grilled fish in town is Mr.
Fisher on Morelos entre Revolucion y Madero.

Since even when you have bought your FMM from that web site, you still ahve to stop and go into IMM to get them stamped to legalized them, I don't
really see the saving of time. Inasmuch as we recently went through at SY and the IMM officer was not only helpful in filling out the forms, but took
out money right there on the spot. So our FMM quest took us about 15 minutes.

I crossed at 530am on 7/8. The bank was not open, the IMM guy did not take cash. The people in the Bancomer in San Quentin? acted like had never seen
a FMM before, took an hour. Maybe paying ahead is not a bad idea.
I always buy our licenses online. Change the date by one day for each person in the family.
