The week after Semana Santo is Junior week in Kino Usually a bunch of rich teen ages raising hell. Think of Daytona beach. Lots of underage drunk kids. But not this year. There were more police than kids. No loud music or 4×4,s racing on the street. Semana Sabta visitors was down by 40%.

We're just north of PV... Plenty of tourists here - I suspect most are Canadians. Still very few US or Canadian plated vehicles on the road - saw one from Illinois, another from Idaho. Most must have flown in. The restaurants are very sparsely utilized.
Had been expecting the toll road from Tepic to have been completed - unless I missed a stretch only a 40 mile (approximate) stretch is open that ends in Bucerias. 200 is very heavily traveled compared to previous visits.

Going to visit it next year with the new RV , which will arrive in the middle of January. I read already a lot about Mexico, stories from other travelers and even an article on how to have amazing camper holidays http://metapress.com/how-to-have-amazing-camper-holidays/ , so this time i think we are completely ready for the trip. I still don't have the exact route planned, but i guess we have enough time to do that. Plus i am opened to all the suggestions from the people, which we will meet on our way.

I want to blame the widespread of smart phones. Many people brag that they can do "everything" with their cell phone. I sure can't. I'm still wanting to learn how to conveniently transfer a cell-phone photo to my desk-top computer, and then insert the photo into my posts, here on this forum. Recently, I learned that PhotoBucket is back. I'm checking it out. So far, I've learned it's not as convenient to use as the old one. If I learn it,...I'll be posting more. I'm working on it.

I don't have a cell phone, but he does. When he gets a pic on his phone that I want, he emails it to me. I download it onto my computer and it's done. Easy

For Christmas I got a Samsung 52A. Since then, I have practically stopped using my laptop. I use the laptop for videos and movies as it is a 17" screen with a DVD player.
Google Maps or Waze works great in Mexico, Whatsapp (free) is the best way to communicate including voice, video and text. You can send photos, maps, your current location, communicate to anyone in any country. We just got back from Spain and we used the phone for reservations on Airbnb, gas stations, train and subway tickets, etc. I can only imagine what an iPhone might be like.

I haven't checked in here in ages and that includes RV.Net itself. When I do its to see if folks I knew are still around. Glad to see most are. I hit 82 last Thur. In good health and we're still full timing mostly on the east coast and try to do more out west. As much as we enjoyed all our trips to Mexico it seems a hassle now that I no longer have the temperament for hassles. And, there's so much we haven't seen in the US. We'll snowbird this winter for the first time in Rockport TX so that may lead to more exploration in the mid-west.
Great to see that so many of you are still kicking.

Belgique — heard nothing but good things about Rockport! Lots of friendly people, but rebuilding over and over because of so many storms in the past years. Glad you got reservations, and on my bucket list because of great reputation. Dee Tillotson, Summerville, SC
