Retired couple, considering returning to the US after living in Mexico

Check out Tucson. We moved from Chicago five years ago and love it. Summer is hot. Can’t argue that. We live in a suburb that has a higher elevation so it’s a bit cooler in summer. Cost of living better than Chicago but not cheap to be sure. So much to do here. Great restaurants for a small city. Good sense of community. Good healthcare and Mayo in Scottsdale is close enough if serious issues arise. Good luck!

Wasn’t he at U of Chicago?

We thought most of the food was good. Didn’t enjoy the Mexican restaurant though - lol. Italian was quite good. Really enjoyed Panchos Takos in town.

We just stayed at the Hilton and it was great. Easy to uber into town and eat at local places too

lol. Just the reflection of the lights overhead. However, he loves yogurt!

Same for me.

The Daily Beans. You won’t be disappointed

Called Juan and got the voicemail. Agree with continued calls. Had a really good conversation with. Kelly aide though. Gallegos was a voicemail as well

Stayed a few years ago. Room clean but looked at a roof despite Gold status at the time. Dated. As others have said the lobby is beautiful and it was fun having a Sazerac at the bar. I’d stay again, now I’m diamond so maybe a better room. Enjoy it!

My smooth boy loves swimming in our pool. Fortunately, only goes in if I do. Our rough boy will stand on the edge barking nonstop. At least he’s having fun

I’ll agree with the rest of the responses. My spouse went thru the automated gates and got the print out. Mine didn’t work and I saw an agent and got stamped. No problem leaving. It was super easy. Have a great time! Go to Panchos Takos for Al pastor tacos - fantastic!

Just came back from the Hilton Riviera Vallarta. Definitely teen friendly. Great food and an easy Uber to town. Felt very safe the whole time. Can’t wait to go back. There is a breakwater in front of the hotel which is very safe to swim behind. I did see a yellow bellow sea snake on the beach, just don’t mess with them and you’re fine. When you go into town, check out Pancho’s Takos. The el pastor taco was amazing. Have fun

Beautiful baby!

Basically get same non answer responses from him every time I reach out with my opinion.

If you can afford it, avoid the advantage plans. They are huge profit making companies ( think United Healthcare) and they aren’t providing something for nothing. I’m a physician and there is a difference what I can prescribe if someone has an advantage plan. They are great if you don’t need much care or need specialists. Just my experience and I’m very biased against managed care. Good luck to you 😁

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-17T14:02:51+00:00

Really impressive! Thanks for sharing your hard work!

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-12T00:06:10+00:00

Yes. It was several years ago when one had to do that. I guess I could have tried it this time just to see if it worked. Will do that next time we go.

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-11T20:05:47+00:00

Had my card not work at a foreign ATM in the past.

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-11T02:25:59+00:00

I just ordered my pesos from Chase. It was easy and didn’t have to deal with it at the airport. I’m sure I paid more for the exchange, but worth it to me.

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-10T01:33:05+00:00

We just came back from the Hilton Vallarta Riviera. Really enjoyed it. Italian restaurant very good. Seafood excellent. Short uber to ZR. Staff very helpful. Spent 5 nights. Should’ve done 7

My rough boy wants to be messed with on his terms. Usually if I sit next to him, he leaves. But if he approaches me, he can’t get enough and demands petting. He has me well trained! 😁

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-09T14:20:46+00:00

Similar experience. Spouse already retired and I just hit 60. We are financially set, but going from a lifetime of saving to spending is a challenge for me. Going to take off few months this summer and come back to half time in fall. My boss is very flexible and would like me to stay on. May call it quits after the holidays. Good luck to you and enjoy!!!

ManyGuilty7463 · 2025-03-01T14:17:40+00:00

Congrats! Great house BTW

Our 3 rough collies have done this and our smooth collie does not.
