Hola,
We are Joe and Nancy, We are planning our first visit to SMA as we begin our visits to a few Mexican Destinations to determine where we want to hang our hat as we begin our retirement. Well, retirement for him, semi for me...
We have spent a year in Mexico sailing down the coast towards the Panama Canal and into the Caribbean ending up living on Roatan for almost 4 years so am familiar with the lifestyle and after raising our son we are ready to get back to it. We just need to find the place for us.
We will be flying down Nov 1-4 for a quick peek. (We are still very much working so that is all the time we have for a first visit) to see how it feels to us.
We would love some tips on anything and everything. We would also like to know where some of the places the expats hang out and have breakfast or drinks so we can meet some of you and pick your brains.
We know we will be there for Day of the Dead weekend so it may not be a true snapshot of life there but we are very well traveled and we can look beyond that. Plus it will be fun! Any suggestions for what is the best way to experience some of the festivities would be greatly appreciated as well.
Looking forward to getting to know you,
Joe and Nancy
