Not having internet at home is a PIA here in the U.S. I have to go to a FedEx office and they charge an arm and a leg. Right now I am at 12 minutes and the charge is almost three dollars. Ridiculous. In Mexico you can check your email or use internet on just about every corner and the cost is five or ten pesos for half an hour or hour.
The unfriendliness of people is another thing. God forbid you make a comment to someone in the store about traffic, weather or prices of products and they look at you like you have invaded their space. BTW, never do like we do and rub a kid's head sitting in a grocery cart, all hell will break loose.
Speaking of prices, wow, the price of food here is outrageous. I may just lose some weight while I'm here. Key to a good budget is eat less.
More later in hopes we get the internet going at home. The rv is working beautifully, the cats shorted out the bedroom slide. They got underneath it and fiddled with something. I took it all apart and put it back together. Blew a fuse in the process. All working now.
McDonald's restaurants have free internet. Almost all towns have libraries that have free internet. Many motels ahev free internet.
ReplyDeleteYes, we always used to find the library in every town when we traveled in the USA. Free internet use for visitors. Some did give you a time limit; but if no one else was waiting would waive that.
ReplyDeleteYep, everytime we head back to Canada we get sticker shock. One of these years we're going to get to Mexico and not return to Canada!

Kevin and Ruth: that is what we did, went to Mexico for 1 winter and ended up moving there permanently. We have been down in Mexico for 5 yrs. now and are still loving it.
ReplyDeleteDepends on where you are in the US what the food prices are, In the Northeast they are a lot higher than here in Mo. same with the west coast. Like Kevin & Ruth said , hold on to your wallet when you get to Canada they may get a break on Medical but then they have to eat also. Free wi-fi is all over, like they mentioned just about all McDonalds and other Fast food restaurants and coffee shops have it, you can usually access from the parking lot without a password. Most of the motels like Super 8 and Holiday Inn Express also have it and it can be accessed from the parking area. Casino's do too. Hope you guys have a great Christmas Day. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
