My husband and I are coming to Zihuatanejo on 2/12/21 and staying for a week. Would love to get together for lunch or dinner with expats to get info about retiring in Zi. We will be staying at Hotel Embarc in Playa La Ropa.

Please e-mail me if you would like to get together.

Thank you

Thanks for the advice. We are coming in February for two more weeks in arguably the nicest place in Mexico and are looking forward to meeting as many expats as we can.

I've often wondered that myself,Rob. It can be disappointing when I have the same question,and can't see the answers. It forces a person to repeat the same questions over and over.....
On that note, I too am looking for the same living arrangements as Deb K. (in her recent post) Same price range, same area etc.Coming in early February to look for a place if possible. Private or public, would appreciate any responses.

I worry about all these private emails everyone wants to send. Why not say here whatever you have to say? What’s with all the secrecy? The Message Board is for sharing information publicly.

After traveling all over Mexico two weeks each year for nearly 40 years, we kept returning here. Finally decided to buy property and build. We then made a detailed Zihua plan to retire and meticulously kept to it. We've been here full-time three years and it's perfect.

It can't be beat. After 10 years of 6 months here and 6 months on the beach in California we have found that living here full time is paradise.

Read everything you can, be prepared and become part of the community.

Hello, my wife and I are contemplating retiring in Zihua. We will be back in late February and would like to meet some expats living in Zihua and get some insight into how life really is there. Any suggestions?

Michael

You've certainly come to the right place. There are countless stories and anecdotes here in the older Message Board comments from expats living here. Some are just passing the time living the same as if they were in Florida or Arizona. And some of us actually speak the language and know a bit about what's going on.

Here's part of my story:

First, set up your profile so you can receive private eamils and you will get a lot of help. Need help with private email.

Second, Explore each and every subject area at the top0 of this message board. There is a to of good info there. In most cases Rob has done all of the hard work.

Narrow your expectations list a bit. Where do you want to live? Single home, condo, beach, overlooking the beach, view not importatnt, etc., etc., etc.
