My uncle inherited a condo there and loves it! They are there for months at a time. It's too hot for his wife but she goes along - just doesn't go out much when it's hot. They come home for Christmas and he can barely wait to get back there. Good luck with your new venture!

Puerto Penasco is known to some Americans as Rocky Point.
Penasco del Sol is the place I was considering going but I didn't have my passport with me. You can buy Mexican car insurance by the day or week.

oh, well that was dumb of me, tom. Thanks. If I had a rental car could I go with the mexican car insurance?? I know that when people take rentals to Nogales from Tucson they usually walk across.

You can buy your Mexican insurance before you leave Tucson, even from AAA.We always have to show our car registration and and a driver's license I remember not being allowed to take a rental car from VT to Montreal a few years ago so check it ourt before leaving for Rocky Point.

Most likely we'd go with our friend so I guess we could just take her car.

You can buy the insurance at tne first gas station in Why, after you leave the reservation.

okay. why. HappyTrvlr, I left you a request on the NM thread.

And I downloaded and started reading the book you suggested. I love it.

I'm in Green Valley, just south of Tucson, now and IMHO, after watching the colors of the sunset on the Santa Ritas, it is heaven on earth.

I did love those sunsets.
