Welcome to all 1,354 newsletter subscribers!
I've only been here in Jaltemba Bay for ten days, and already I am looking forward to the cooler temps and reduced humidity... it's just plain hot here! Yesterday, our truck's outside air temperature gauge read 37°C.
We know many of you are planning to head south in the next few weeks. Whether you are coming for the first time or staying for most of the winter, please read through our handy Travel Tips Guide, which includes information on What To Do Before You Go, What To Bring, Required Entry & Exit Documents, Customs Regulations, Medical & Travel Insurance and Bringing a Vehicle into Mexico. And if you are traveling with pets, be sure to read our Pet Travel Tips as the document requirements have recently changed.
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour on Sunday morning. Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, October 28 at 2am in Nayarit and the surrounding states. If you are driving through Mexico, keep in mind that the ten US border municipalities do not "fall back" until Sunday, November 4 along with Canada and the United States.
To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page.
To find out what's happening this week and next, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
Be sure to watch for the next issue, which will arrive in your InBox on October 30th just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!
