Cell Phones in Mexico

I accidentally erased my original post about using your present cell phone while in Mexico. If anyone has any personal experience with this, please let us know.

Here’s a comment on my original post:

Verizon now offers a North American plan which for $120 a month for 2 phones gives you 1500 minutes anywhere in Canada, U.S, and Mexico. Mexican coverage is good enough to have about 100 towns with service in the state of Nayarit.

Passport Alert!

Amazon.com: The People’s Guide to Mexico

There is unwelcome news in the “Red Tape” department:  in December of 2006 the U.S. government will require passports as identification for virtually everyone entering the country from Mexico and Central America.  This includes children.

We’ve always recommended a passport as your best form of I.D. when traveling, but the combined cost for a family, especially a family on a short or one-time vacation in Mexico, will be painful.There have been a lot of protests about this program but the real screaming won’t begin, I predict, until American tourists start returning from Mexico next year — having neglected to get a passport. 

My guess, which is optomistic, is that the government will have to back down, at least to some degree.  For that reason, I suggest that you check back here, or drop in occasionally to the Passport Agency website for updates.

By the way… you can email us directly, just don’t expect a quick reply — we are very busy on a couple of writing projects right now, so we tend to get overwhelmed!
