    We Agree: Flights within Mexico can be a really good value. Public transportation on a whole is simply amazing throughout Mexico and we are grateful for that - you can get to almost any town by bus/combi with little or no advanced planning! We've also found that the vast, vast majority of chicken in Mexico looks better raw and tastes so much better when cooked than what we've purchased in the United States . To us, healthier, better tasting foods in general seem much more commonplace in Mexico, however the junk food is there if you want it from time to time - we appreciate it all! Paws up all round wee Guinness 😍!

      Thanks so much Fiona & Jerry. Totally agree with your assessment of the quality of chickens and would add that the eggs are amazing too. Beautiful orange/yellow yolks. It’s easy to eat a very healthy diet here. Guinness says cheers for the paws up ;)

    Thank you for your videos I bought a condo a year ago in Puerto morelos and your right patience is a virtue in Mexico specially with the workers who we hired to do some work . Everyone is so laid back and that's what I noticed specially in Puerto Morelos. I'm retired and moving to Puerto morelos full time in about one month with my wife and by watching your videos I know that we made the right choice. Keep the videos coming thx.

    Thanks guys for another great video. I took a break from doing some finishing work on my house before we move/rent it out. Sold one of our vehicles today and the other will come on Tuesday before we spend a night in a hotel and fly out. Not to put a commercial in here but wow carmax did a fantastic job. Matched the offer from online and didn't try to pay us less. We love the food in mexico and we have said the same thing, it is always fresh and it seems way more healthy. It is sort of unbelievable that this transition is about to happen.

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  2 роки тому +1

      Wow you two sound busy busy. I remember our last couple days before jumping on our plane to Mexico were so hectic. Well done on your cars ! And yes we know what you mean about it feeling ‘unbelievable’ . It will probably take you a couple days in Mexico to chill and process that ‘hey, I live here now’. So awesome - enjoy the journey :)

      Hi JS! Snow the thought of it makes us cringe! Raquel is Canadian from Ontario but she lived in Northern Ireland for ten years. I,(Ricky) am Northern Irish but I lived in Ontario for seven years. That's why our accents are both a little off lol. Hope you have a great time when you are in PM, not long to go now!

    Thank you for sharing the 5 ways Mexico has changed you both. The sound so great and meaningful to you. We hope to experience that someday and leaving a cooler climate here in the western US. One question we would love to you talk about in a video is how you knew the time was right to take the leap of faith, something which you talked about in an earlier video by traveling with two suitcases to Mexico! That would help us alot. Thanks for the inspirational videos! 😀

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  Рік тому

      Hi Mayra, you can get cauliflower and broccoli in the supermarket or the fruit and veggie shops, most vegetables are available with the exception of parsnip which I have never seen. Other vegetables like butternut squash and Brussels are available on occasion. Hope this helps and thank you for your kind words Ricky

    You both are def living the life. It's embarrassing to us when we're in Mexico and you hear people being rude to the workers. Aren't you there to enjoy your vacation. Why be in a hurry, just relax and enjoy the country and especially the kind and warm locals. It's getting pretty warm here in Canada but I've said to my husband I'd rather be in Mexico enjoying the sunshine, lol. Hopefully by the end of the year, I'll have to change my heading, lol. Again, another great video.
