What's a Xuacan?A small, Xuacan security guard (female) took my strobe batteries when we were leaving Cabo last October. I got very mad and insisted they had no right to do so. A supervisor, who spoke English, came and told me I could not have batteries on the flight (they did NOT take my camera battery thank God). He told me I could go back and check it but considering the flight was leaving I just let them trash them. THEN the little guard turned me around and gave me a thorough body search!!!!
SO, if you travel to Mexico, check those batteries!!!!!
You live full time in Mexico and don't speak Spanish?Just a heads up about driving vehicle in Mexico. The reason you will be detained until you pay up after an accident (if you do NOT have Mexican insurance) is because it is illegal to be involved in an accident per their law. You purchase insurance because it is your bail bond. With insurance, you still go to the station, but your insurance agent is called and he comes and handles the $$ details. We live full time in Baja, and we do have insurance. I am sure you can buy it as a rider on rental cars. This has been a law for oh, about 30 years. FYI
It's not "illegal" to be involved in an accident there, they just want proof you can pay for any damages you might have caused. Insurance proves that someone will pay.
