Hi Shelley! I think Uber is fairy new here. I have heard there are not many cars available but when there are, they are reportedly very clean and newer vehicles. I will try in the new year!

Thank you Shelly, love your channel please leu us know your favor vet.Daughter and cheweiny come in January.2025

I would love to visit Puerto Morels someday soon..

How do you pay your bills? Online or cash or check? Do you get a paper bill in the mailbox?

Tipping the garbage man?? Did I hear this correctly? Never heard of such a thing

Great video! Very informative for those of us in a similar situation. I'm looking at moving to Mexico as well. I'm wondering is there anything other solution for the check-in system if one doesn't have a sibling? Like doing this with a local friend/neighbor?

Thanks for sharing your budget information.

GEEZ what the heck do you eat?? I don't see how I could possibly spend that much on food.. Is it for two people? Sorry I was just surprised and I have not watched your channel before..

Always great information! Thanks for sharing, been to Puerto Morelos twice in past love it! Have you used the Mayan train at all?

Great budget video.

Awesome video...burger underground wings look delicious.

Hi Shelley, thanks for sharing another great video. Question: is the meat shop in PM or Playa? Does the collectivo drop off right at Walmart? We want to explore Playa so any advise as to where to get off would be great for a day of exploring too. Looking forward to the budget video next week as we are counting the weeks down till we come back for 2 months in January. My friend just had her teeth cleaned here in Nova Scotia and it cost over $200, so you got a great deal. Hope Miss Penney is feeling better soon. Take care

Hopefully the next monthly budget is not more than 1000, anything above that, and i will consider this place, expensive for anyone with a $1000 a month pension!!

I would like to go for a month with my husband and parents (82 and 84). If you have any information about the accommodations in your area, that would be very much appreciated. I will promise cook my healthy meals for you when we are there🎉. We are in Waterloo Ontario.

Great video loads of information...viv

Great video..be there colonial side in less than 2 months !!

Where did you buy that Cabot Trail? I would like to check it out. I live in Manitoba

Looks like a great day. I would love to see the little mall when it is all open. I bet it's a busy place.

Hi Shelley, greetings from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦. I’m a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing your life in PM. We are excited to be coming back in January for 2 months this time. We were there 2 years ago for a month over Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to hearing about what’s new there. Will keep a look out for you to say “hi”when we come.

Thank you for sharing, very useful

Great video

Loved the video, glad to see you've settled in and great job batch cooking, looked delicious!!😋

Welcome back to you and Penny! See you in January! xoPaige💖

Love it!!! Good job and thanks for sharing ❤

Great video! Question...is there a reason the bases of all the trees port side are painted white? Is it just for aesthetics?

Great video, can't wait for your budget videos

At my retirement (on Feb 29 2024), we moved to a different house. Due to many failing knees / hips, we decided to move from a normal 4 bedroom 3 story home to a newer age 2 bedroom + 2nd story loft (aka: reading room) house. Yes. Much smaller size house with no basement but this new house also has an external heated 3 bay workshop. Wife says she needs me "out of her kitchen more often". Funny. Now, I'm even more busier doing mandatory DIY upgrades (like installing 3 windows in my new shop) and making our new home "unique to us". Now, I'm very busy working for me / working for us and "loving it"! As you can tell, I also love being retired. Should have retired 2 years ago - when my Financial Planner told me to retire.... If you can, retire and work on DIY projects you always wanted to do! Works for me.... btw: One does not really retire. They simply work on other things in life.... re: One's bucket list!

Hi there, are you still staying in Puerto Morelos? 😊

Didnt know about this law before booking will be avoiding Mexico in the future.

Nice video I thought it was very informative. I’m taking my family down for Christmas. Do you think the hotel was a family kid friendly hotel?

Super helpful. I havent seen much info about collectivos from PM to PDC, as an Australian tourist, all the info is about $60USD taxis. So thank you!!

Hi! How do you order from Burger Underground? I couldn't find a website. Thanks!

Where is the exact place

I just love Penny

Any tax implications with living in Mexico part time (less than 183 days)? Or is it status quo?

Great video Shelly, hope to run into you and Penny again next season!

Thanks for allowing us to follow your journey in PM!! We are interested in the cost of living video will be watching for that one!! Hopefully things here in Canada warm up lol its a tad bit chilly for me the last two weeks!!! Viv

Always enjoy your videos Shelly! See you in 2025 😎 Best, Paige

Why all the extreme closeups? It would be helpful to see more depth shots as well.

🍀 *Promosm*

Oh what a fun video...lovely friends you have...the joke about the "Canadian gummies" i think may have gone over their heads but we had a good laugh over that!!!...thanks again for the great video...Happy Easter...Viv

Pizza looks delicious Spicy candy not for me.

This was a lovely video Shelley. We appreciate these little gems. 😊

good info thanks. what also helped me a lot was this travel app: ATM Fee Saver - it shows ATMs and their fees and limits for over 50 countires. super super useful for travelling

Thanks for the great video! We are also here for the winter and face the same challenges that you do,its good to see we are not the only ones! I met u and Penny one day a month or so ago while out for a walk,nice meeting you.

Hi, great video! Can you please include anything pertinent to bringing Penny with you to Mexico and any challenges? Thanks! 🙂

Hi Shelley! I am from Canada and no longer have a Canadian number. My bank emails me verification codes, my credit card accepts my Mexican number, CRA has another system. On occasion when booking flights with WestJet they have a third party verification, my bank bypasses this as long as I book from 8am to 8pm and can call them when I get to the payment verification code. Good luck!

I live in the port/beach side and my neighbours are "locals"...we have the ice cream guy, the gas truck, the fruit & veggie truck, taco stands, tamale, etc. etc. only difference is we have the beach within walking distance which makes it more expensive to rent or buy on this side. La Colonia is just another district of Puerto Morelos and both areas can be enjoyed by tourists and locals. I love visiting and eating in La Colonia and tourists and locals also make their way to port side and enjoy the beach and restaurants especially on weekends. Port/beach side has been considered "touristy" because of the close proximity to the beach and for short term visitors it's definitely an excellent option. We also have an outdoor market every Wed. next to the church where you can buy fresh fruits & vegetables, cheese, breads, other assorted food products and artisan jewelry and crafts. Both sides are unique and have their own vibe. Very informative video! Great job!

I had the flu for a month in Dec.

Your info is very helpful, but you did not include any prices or dollar value
