hello susan I'm moving to mexico next month
and maybe we can help each other finding something very nice in san miguel i'm comming from michigan
I have my wife and two kids
I have lived in the Southwest USA many years, and have always wanted to spend more time in Mexico. I would like to buy a house there. I have looked at properties for sale online, and would like to start by coming down for a vacation first. Anybody have any suggestions or helpful hints?
Thanks, ladybug18
