Can I bring my dog or cat or other pets to Mexico?
SONIA DIAZ - Sonia Diaz
Yes, you can bring your dog, cat or other pets to Mexico. Most people bring along the vaccination record of their pets, but this is usually not asked when entering Mexico via car. It will, however, be important when returning with your pet to the United States and when entering Mexico via a plane.

What is Nicaragua's gun ownership policy and gun laws?
David Smith - Farmland Assets
It used to be easy to get a gun permit in Nicaragua, but from what I’ve heard from my friends, getting a gun permit in Nicaragua is becoming more difficult than it was in the past. The government of Nicaragua has put in a system now where they do serious background checks, I believe you need to take a psychiatric examination, etc.
Even though the ability to own a gun in Nicaragua is more strictly controlled, one can own a gun here.

You can live anyplace and be safe. I have never had a crime against me and I live in Belize. But you should understand Belize is statistically one of the most dangerous nations in the Americas. Belize has little taxes and it shows it the pathetically underfunded poorly trained police force.
In Belize city there is a murder each week, you can check that on Belize breaking news if you like. Those thugs are about a 40min watertaxi ride from the Cayes and they do business there......

However if you don't go to the nightclubs after 11. If you don't have a cocaine habit and thus know the dealers and you don't leave tempting things like cell phones out on a table when you go to the bathroom, just like Detroit you can go a long time crime free.
But it is getting worse... Most young men here have few chances to work leaving only two dreams.. Join the government or join a gang.
To give you an idea here are the murder rates per 100,000 people
- Canada 2
- USA 5
- Panama 9
- Costa Rica 11
- Belize 132
We who live here love this place but, no it is not a place to be careless.
In general, what do I need to know about FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report)?
David McKeegan
You need to report all of your foreign bank accounts each year if the total balance is over US $10,000 or the foreign equivalent. So if you have a checking and a savings account overseas and you move $5,001 from the checking to the savings you now have $10,002 in all your combined off shore accounts so they need to be reported. It’s a hassle, but it’s not difficult to report.

Are there islands in Portugal? If so, where, and what are they like?
Ana Ferraz
There are some absolutely beautiful islands in the Algarve near the border of Spain. To go there, you have to take a 40-minute boat ride. There are about six islands there. Only one of those six is deserted.
Up the coast towards the north, there is another island that is inhabited called Berlengas. It is a small island off the coast of Peniche. They have little summer cottages there, a lighthouse, a couple of restaurants, and a ferry that takes people over.

Because we are so surrounded by sea, on the far coast of Lisbon, we have a river, the Tagus, which separates Lisbon from the south. It is a large river that starts in Spain, crosses Portugal, and finishes in the mouth of Lisbon, at the Atlantic Ocean. So to go to the other side, you have to take bridges. There are three to four bridges. All of the land south of Lisbon, after these bridges, have a vast area of land very sandy, which are called the peninsulas. This is a natural reserve for dolphins. When you are on a boat or a ferry in these areas, you will see a lot of dolphins. Here, you will find an area called Tróia, which is a peninsula. Some of these areas become islands when it is high tide, which only happens at certain times of the year. It is a beautiful area of Portugal because this is where the river meets the sea. This is also a paradise for birdwatchers. They are now developing this area for tourism. A complex of condominiums were just built around this area with villas and timeshares. It is a vast area.
There is another development down in the Algarve, which is also in the peninsulas. This whole area is very stunning. It has lots of wildlife and they are very well preserved.
My husband pulled our high-top white van with the dogs in the backseat into the Pemex, the ubiquitous gas stations of Baja California, Mexico. We were returning to the outskirts of La Paz, a busy little town that fronts a bay and is held in by the mountains. He spoke in Spanglish to the attendant about the price of gas as the van was serviced. I sat inside, drowsy from a day of walking along soft surf. From my side of the van, I watched a woman approach the car to the right of me....
When I got an email from my Doctor, a Whats App from my Consultant/Surgeon and a personal phone call from the Doctor doing the lab results, I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore! (Or England in my case!)
Yes, you just read that correctly, the local Doctor here in Coronado, emailed me to see how I was and if I had heard anything about the test results I was waiting for.
Prior to that, I had undergone some surgery and the Consultant/Surgeon had...
Okay, I was hoping it would not rain, but it is the rainy season. However, I was really hoping it would not rain! There was a beautiful table, with a gorgeous floral centerpiece, on the entry patio of the store my friend owns. This was her grand re-opening Sip & Shop Event on Volcancito Road.
There were balloons on the gate, chilled beer, and beverages, white and red wines. A table with awesome meat trays, wraps, stuffed pastries, vegetable trays, cheese and...
