Do they have schools for this there? Is there a cosmetology commission there like here? What kind of rules are there? I had one of thoses cheap maicures! It was worthless. I was in Playa del Carmen.

Best car to retire with in Mexico? I have a pickup now, but I'm thinking of retiring in Mexico. I'm thinking I'll need an SUV, wagon or mini-van with good gas mileage, plus maybe something I can throw into four wheel drive if I encounter a washed out road. (I prefer driving the back roads--to discover new towns--rather than driving the toll roads.) Can you think of anything that meets these criteria? I'm thinking Lake Chapala area, right now, but I also like Oaxaca and San Cristobal de las Casas. If I were going to Mexico City, I WOULD NOT take a car. No I won't consider a Landrover.

What would happen to Mexico when millions of American migrate there (boomers retiring to better climate)? Plunging into Baja Leading the charge south of the border, Southland buyers are snatching up bargain-priced retirement or second homes on the beach. By Ann Brenoff, Times Staff Writer October 22, 2006 THE trick to buying a home in Mexico, say those who have done it, is to not leave your brain at the border. The days of writing up deals on bar napkins and sealing them with a handshake and a shot of tequila are over — or should be, experts say. That said, you can buy an oceanfront home in Baja for about one-third of what it would cost 30 minutes north of the border. And that alone was probably enough motivation for the 1.5 million Americans who own homes in Mexico today, according to estimates from the Mexico Assn. of Real Estate Professionals. The number is expected to jump to 12 million within 20 years as more baby boomers retire south of the border.

Have you ever considered retiring or relocating to Mexico? My wife and I have recently attended a relocation and real estate seminar in Puerto Vallarta. The event was great and the people were very informative. We are seriously considering a move to Mexico but were curious to see how many others are out there. We found the seminar through www.latinamericanhomeinvestment.com which seems to be a pretty good site with a lot of information. I suppose we are looking to hear from others who are seriously looking as well. We see a lot of potential and an improved pace of life in Mexico. Still, it is a big change. How many Americans and Canadians are actually moving down there or at least thinking about it?

Are there any good reasons not to annex it to the US for the benefit of all?

Need to find somebody in Mexico!!? I need to find somebody in Mexico. My fiance's grandfather is an American citizen and he retired to Mexico b/c of cheaper living. He has diabetes and had one leg amputated in Mexico. He came to visit for Christmas and his other foot was badly burned b/c he kept by a heater way too long (he couldn't feel it b/c of poor blood circulation caused by the diabetes). We begged him to see a doctor in America but he is hard-headed and said its cheaper in Mexico. When he got back, he called us every week like he always did and all of a sudden his calls stopped in March. Not only that, his bank statements come to our house and I looked at them. The only activity on the account is the automatic deposits from his retirement. He hasn't had any activity since the time he stopped calling. He sent us something a long time ago and gave us his address, but when we write there it comes back as a bad address. I e-mailed the Mexican Consulate and have rec'd no response. Can anybody please help?
