Hello Bbond,

I have not been down in years and miss hanging with you I was wondering if the Laura in question sisters name is Edith?

No, it is not, and I don't feel comfortable posting sisters real name. I once knew of at least three girls using the name "Laura", so maybe you're thinking of one of those.

I just spoke with her sister, who is not on speaking terms with Laura, sister says she recently saw her walking downtown with one of her kids. I have known Laura and her sister for years, her sister visits me regularly. I no longer consider Laura a friend, friends don't lie or steal from you.

Sounds like there is a story to be told there. LOL. I have known her for a while too. She always seemed to be one of of the more honest ones there. I have never met her sister. The last couple of months I just haven't seen her around before the bars closed.

Yep, I have been crossing. My friend, got us a hotel in Laredo, she drove and met me there. I did that a couple of times.

Believe it or not prices for flights have went up, and now I am in Austin, easy drive to MTY. MTY will be second home, I will be real careful and safety will be first, I will only drive to the Hotel or Apartment, then only UBER in Mexico. I will also leave early in the mornings, now I have a beat up work truck, so I will use that, if something happens to that I do not care, it has made me a lot of money, I will just buy another truck.

I love skinny girls and as I have said, MTY has some stunners. You can get some real top notch ones for a very reasonable price, I am not into the lower end seen. Seeking Arrangements is working great, so time to change my game. Tijuana / Russia is on the back burner. If I find a cheap flight I will still go to Tijuana. I am so sick of the Airlines and there B S. / Shitty Service. I just get pissed off when I fly now. I was hoping there would be some changes in there attitudes with the Virus, but that is not going to happen, so it is time to move on.

That's bad ass Drama free. So are you seeing a rise in available arrangement seekers on that site and what type of arrangements would you say are the norm?

Drama free,

If eMxico reopens their borders on may 20th and AMLO eases restrictions so that businesses including hotels start to reopen, will you be considering going to Mexico soon after?

Does anyone know if Laura who used to hang in Emillanos is still around? I haven't see her in a while. I imagine every one in Nuevo Laredo is hurting these days. Hopefully things will open up soon.

It is going to real bad. As bad as it will be in the states, it will be 10 times worse in Mexico, maybe worse. They are not prepared, for the financial disaster. There will be opportunities, but I am sure crime rate will rise, so safety will be real important when traveling in Mexico.

Any step in the right direction is encouraging. In a way, I think this lock down has allowed allot of people to reset their lives but that only works if we can start living our lives again. I don't know about Mexico, but in the USA, there are reports that people are using their last cash savings to pay rent and are buying groceries with credit cards. I have a friend who was able to skip just one car payment but is expected to pay the following month's car payment. Even though allot of the poorer people in the USA live paycheck to paycheck, they still live a life of luxury compared to people who are poor in Mexico. The Mexican president officially stated the other day that he expects poverty and crime to be on the rise so hopefully buses from NL to MTY can still operate safely.

I'm ready for lockdown to end, not sure about anyone else.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's Interior Department urged towns and states to stop putting up roadblocks and curfews to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, as hundreds have done.

The department said in a statement that such measures violate constitutional rights like the right to free movement, and argued that local governments don't have the authority to enact them.

"The health emergency does not constitute a state of emergency or suspension of rights," the department wrote.

The department said in a report that almost 20% percent of Mexican municipal governments, about 340, have put up checkpoints or filters to limit people's movements. Most were concentrated along the country's coasts, where many beach towns have tried to exclude travelers who might spread the coronavirus.

Dozens of towns have enacted curfews and at least three of the country's 31 states have threatened to arrest people who don't obey social distancing measures.

The department said "the measures involving the use of force are not proportional, they encourage the abuse of authority, and they can have serious effects on supplies of food and medicine."

Was itching for hobby in CDMX and looked into if it's doable by next weekend.

Here's what I found earlier this week, some which already may be outdated.

Still have ample flights Volaris, VAB running between MTY and MEX. That's about where the good news stops.

Hotel sites like Priceline, Hotwire, Booking etc not posting results for anywhere Mexico.

BusBud timetables found ZERO bus running Reynosa-Monterrey and very limited buses linking NLaredo ans Monterrey normally 18 a day each way currently 5 or 6 with some long gaps (if you miss 11 am you have to wait for next at 4 pm!

I'm ready for lockdown to end, not sure about anyone else.

Greyhound has 7-8 buses a day each way from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey, very cheap:

Most, if not all of Camino Real hotels in Mexico are open, you book on their website and pay in dollars. I was in NL this past Wed-Thurs, May 6-7, did not stay at the Real Inn, but went by on the city bus, and it looked like it was jam packed:

I don't know for certain, but I think you can, and some buses are running again.

Thank you, more bad news. Mexico has now shutdown Airbnb in MTY / Tijuana, probably all of Mexico, I did not check. Closed until the end of the month, ridiculous.

[Bbond]

Do you think it is possible to drive to MTY now?

I don't know for certain, but I think you can, and some buses are running again.
