Hey Christine, I wrote an article about this part of Mexico in your IL magazine last year. You should easily find it in the magazine archives. Plus, there are many helpful Facebook groups to join, from "Expats in Tijuana" to "Rosarito Living", "Ensenada Expats", "Ensenada Living", and more. In Ensenada, reach out to Gabriela, whos specializes in rentals and sales: gabrielavictorica@yahoo.com

Jess, We are planning on attending the Panama conference in February 2025. We anticipate checking out areas to rent for 3 months next summer. We love the beach and a more laid back location. Any suggestions on how we should begin our search? David S

hi Robin, that is a great question and one that we get often. My advice is to ship as little as possible for three excellent reasons. First is that most things outside of tourist areas cost less in Italy. Second, shipping is expense and takes months. We shipped a pallet of used colthing and books. We shipped in October and it arrived in late Jan if my memory serves. The third reason is customs. They are very picky about what gets in and what does not. WE were charged a fee of $10 or so per day, and had forms in triplicate and discovered that most of what we sent was not necessary, took forever and cost us about $5,000. If I were you I would by new without question. Chip Stites, IL Italy Correspondent.
