Four Great B and B’s

Hi Linda and Bert, WOW, Thanks for the kind words. You made my day.

Depending upon other commitments I proabably can help you with transportation in the area. If I can;t hel;p on a particular day we have excellent bus service and by US standards even the taxi’s are quite reasonable.

I see taxis parked waiting on their clients at the supermarket sometimes.

The home office of ChapalaClub.com is in Chapala at Hidalgo 236 # 1 (the Carretera) just a few doors from the Coffee Tree Restaurant on the South side of the street 2 blocks from Madero.

I think you may be confusing ChapalaClub (the online club of folks like yourself and people who live here) with the Lake Chapala Society which is a bricks and mortar operation in Ajijic at the intersection of 16th de Septiembre and Ramon Carona. LCS, the name most peoplerefer to them as is a great resource for newcomers, visitors, and full time North American Residents.

I look forward to helping you when you arrive and taking you guys on an area tour which includes the Lake Chapala Society.

An excellent car rental place is Lina Profesional in Ajijic across from the Lloyd’s Investment firm on the Carretera at the intersection of Donato Guerra (South Side cross street name) and J. Encarnacion Rosas (North side cross street).

Owner Leticia (Leti)and Sons have competitive prices and give personal service (like meeting you there after hours etc.)

Rented my first car from her about 15 years ago. They recently quoted a client of mine $50 USD per day including taxes and insurance.

You asked about more advice.

First check the above Archives link to be sure you haven;t missed any of the articles, videos, audios, news or information items that seem interesting (I try to make them all that way).

Second, if you’d like a one on one tele-seminar send me a private e mail to Sid@ChaplaClub.com with your time zone and and the best days and time (your time) for me to call you guys and I’ll confirm by e mail and then call you on my nickel and answer all your questions … sort of filling in the gaps.

By the way this is an open offer to everyone reading this until and unless I get overloaded. When that happens or perhaps before I’ll begin to schedule a bridge call where we can have hundreds on the call at the same time, but we’re not there yet.

SO get your one on one seminar requests in now, before my schedule is filled up.

NOTE: I will not be available for Telephone Seminars January 6 – 11, 2009 as Arcelia and I will be in Mazatlan on the beach.

All for now. Thanks again for the great comments. Siempre tu amigo, Sid

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your comments. The short answer is YES, there are younger people living here. In fact more everyday.

Since you can now get high speed internet in almost all the areas that North Americans have chosen to live in here people like you have figured out that with this too available to them there’s no need to fight high taxes, bad weather, and high prices North of the border.

I sold a home to a young couple not too long ago who decided to move here with their three grade school boys. He does travel back and forth some but he has a bricks and mortar business.

More and more couples see the future coming and want their kids to grow up bi cultural and bi lingual.

I sold another large home to an older, but not retired couple who have a consulting type business in which High Speed is critical.

I recently saw the husband at a social gathering and he told me it was one of he best decisions they’ve ever made to move here.

He was all smiles and much more relaxed than when we first meet, so I know he;s happy and leading a much less stressful life here… and this translates to a longer life too.

Now, in all honesty the internet systems here may not be as dependable as in some places in the USA, but I guess that depends on a lot of variable, even in the USA.

So, some people in business that MUST HAVE Super dependable always up time have two providers so that when one or the other is temporarily down they’re still OK.

Guadalajara refers to itself as the silicon valley of Mexico and so is a hub for Hi Tech firms and is the second largest city in Mexico.

Guadalajara is just 45 minutes from Chapala which in turn is just 20 minutes to the International airport with direct flights to many gateway US cities.

Dallas is 2 to 2.5 hours via American direct flight to DFW depending upon if you’re going North or South (With the jet stream or not).

Joseph, Thanks again for your questions.I look forward to helping any way I can. Siempre tu amigo, Sid
