[JeraldoRivera]

Not sure about the spas. I have not been to any of them. Hotels are getting stricter every day. You can still work around the rules, but you need to be much more careful. Restaurant will close again.

If MTY goes into Lockdown I would wait unless you already have been here. There will be too many challenges and obstacles.

Please elaborate on what you meant when you said "hotels are getting stricter every day. " In what way, exactly?

By my calculation, Mexico's COVID stoplight map is next scheduled to be updated on November 9. That's a few days before I'm supposed to leave for Monterrey, so if Nuevo Leon gets the "red stoplight," I'll have enough time to cancel my hotel reservation without penalty.

Poking around the internet, I found this article published today:

Based on that article, I honestly think my chances of visiting Monterrey in a couple of weeks are now 1 in 10. We'll see what happens.

I use verizon and I have been there before, it works well if you are in the city.

Same with I believe with Vz and att. I'll let ya know, I'm on vz, I'll be out there in a couple weeks.

Exactly what I didn't want to hear. Although the newest COVID "stoplight" map has Nuevo Leon painted as orange, the article specifically mentions that it's in danger of regressing to red due to increasing COVID cases:

So if Monterrey goes into lockdown, restaurants are closed and only open for takeout, correct? Would the spas remain clandestinely open and the Twitter WGs still visit hotels?

Bad news, last night they closed down the Casino, they were letting in VIP, but you had to buy in for $500-1000. They are also talking about doing another shutdown in November again, this would be devastating, we will hope for the best.

T mobile operates for free in Mexico. Also guys here should look into google fi which is probably the best plan for international mongers.

As you can see from my handle I have been all about Thailand. Even lived there full time for 8 years. Now STUCK here in US and trying to make a plan. I understand that I can arrive Mexico by air. Good to see that there might be an option. Mind if I ask how you manage phone service? I am used to getting a local sim in my Asian travels. Is that what you do? I'll keep reading here. Keep it coming.

Mex banking regulations are a little lenient. The source will direct message you a debit card number typed or photo. Take that to an Oxxo or 7-11 and tell them you want x pesos deposited into the 16 digit card. Cash only no tarjeta. 150 pesos plus a 9 peso fee and 159 pesos later, got a printed deposit receipt. Snap a photo holding the transfer receipt and send the pic as a direct message.

Also doing this same method for non monger custom made Halloween decorations with a tailor in Reynosa. (We'll see how this pans out).

So far Matehuala is still closed (boo) and shocker for me, Masajes Deseos is gone gone. Doors Windows rolled shut, neon signs yanked out. They weren't the greatest, but they weren't too far out of direction to peek inside real quick just to see what's on tap. Had a few xp in there.

Last week outbound, had a good co with Micheldepa Mia. Can write report later.

Had Some lousy events in Mexico City and Quito EC that really punch gutted me, separate reports coming.

Arrived today (eventually) on Viva Aerobus, had one session may regret.

All 4 phone numbers wrote back, on the fence if I want to go thru independent escort hassles. Why'all want these phone numbers?

Have fun. I will be there either Friday evening or Saturday. Trip report will follow.

Looking forward to your continued reports. I've been steadily monitoring the COVID situation in Mexico and unfortunately discovered this fresh news story, which specifically mentions Nuevo Leon a few times.

I had been staying in Airbnbs. Last week I stayed at NH Hotel, I had not been there in over a year. What a difference, the bar is now closed, but hopefully is opening back up soon. Restaurant is only open for breakfast. They are very strict about Covid. There were 2 entrance before, but now one is closed. Still a good option, but be aware. Good news you can get rooms very cheap now.

We went to the Casinio Saturday night, very casual, not strict at all. Played 3 hours on Balckjback, won a little money. The girl I was with decided to she wanted to go to a Swingers Bar after, fun experience. I will write in my next report.

Okay, but I don't see phone numbers with these places usually. Do you pay cash? It seems like they are going to ask for the 150 fee first via electronic transfer.

No it's a fee they ask when you get the chica, it's like 1200 for the chica then the extra 150 fee on top of that. So essentially 1350.
