Mexico Fun Tip: Dell Laptop Warranty

Today, I am having my laptop serviced through Dell's Next Business Day Warranty...for the
millionth time.

I am hard on electronics. Salt air is hard on electronics. So Me + Puerto Morelos is a fairly deadly combination.

To celebrate by new laptop fan, I thought it might be a helpful reminder to share this older blog post about Dell's awesome warranty, in case any of you might be interested: http://www.puertomorelosblog.com/2010/10/you-might-want-to-consider-dell-laptop.html

Changes to TIP Car Importations

People ask me all of the time about importing foreign vehicles. When you bring a car from another country across the
Mexican border, it is issued a Temporary Import Permit (TIP).

Long story, short:

  • You can only do it if you have a Tourist Visa or a Temporary Residency Visa. (Permanent Residents may not have foreign plated vehicles.)
  • If you have a Tourist Permit and bring your vehicle across the border, your vehicle's TIP is only good for the length of time of that SAME tourist visa that you imported it with. So, if you leave Mexico without your vehicle, that vehicle is illegal.
  • Each person is allowed 1 TIP. The vehicle's title must be in that person's name.
  • If you have a Temporary Residency Visa, you must renew your TIP permit.
  • Personal 2 Cents: TIPs are a huge pain. Don't do it unless you plan to cruise around Mexico for a short time and then return in your vehicle. If you live here, get a car here.

Time is Changing in Puerto Morelos and the Rest of Q. Roo

The idea of changing the timezone in Quintana Roo has been brewing awhile.

On December 4th, efforts finally resulted in the Congress approving placing the state of Quintana
Roo in the Eastern Time Zone, rather than the Central Time Zone.

The state will change to the Summertime Eastern Schedule (and, according to this article in The Playa Times, not participate in Daylight Savings Time) starting in April 2015.

In all, it shifts the clock to allow more daylight during the evening hours.

Puerto Morelos' National Park Shines as an Example to Save the Reef!

Did you know that the barrier reef, known as the Mesoamerican Reef, which is just offshore is part of the world's 2nd largest barrier reef? It is only smaller than Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Puerto Morelos' National Park was recently sited in the BBC article, "The Struggle to Save the Caribbean's Huge Barrier Reef", as an successful example of saving the reef life and improving its overall health.

Puerto Morelos Pics

It's getting COLD outside! Have you flown the coop to Puerto Morelos yet?

Puerto Morelian Photographer Michael Maurus was kind enough to share some of his favorites. If you don't follow him on Facebook, you should! He gets some amazing shots. Or, if you need a great photographer for your property or family portraits, he's the guy to call!

Enjoy!! Thanks for sharing, Michael!
