Wherever we end up we certainly won’t lock ourselves up inside a gringo gated community; we do want to feel like we are living in Mexico. not a SoCal suburb. I haven’t been working on my Spanish all these years just to live in a community where all my neighbors only speak English.

I guess I need to come up with some better, more specific questions like:

1. What’s the local housing market like right now?

2. How much are property taxes, property insurance?

3. How fast and dependable is the internet?

4. What does everybody do for healthcare?

5. What are the average costs for doctor visits, lab analysis, prescriptions compared to SoCal when paying out of pocket?

6. How often do most Expats cross north to go shopping for items not available in Baja?

7. How soon before we move south should I start my residency visa paperwork?

8. Is there a problem driving a vehicle with California plates in Baja?

9. Is the drought seriously affecting the water situation down there?

10. How is public transportation to get to the border if we don’t want to drive across?

Too many questions???
