@@izaac1312 Thanks Isaac! I sure miss making them. And I really miss Mexico.

@@Mtnsandoceans Awe thanks! I truly loved making videos. I was thinking of throwing out a reflective video but my Adobe editing software has long since expired. Thanks a lot for checking in!

@@timelesstravelclub6240 Thanks for the reply Andy , you’re always welcome to come visit me in Guanajuato . You turned me on to a hotel in Guanajuato and I have been renting a place from the owner for about 3 years now . It does start to feel small there after a while, and it can get cold. I would then go to my adopted Mexican family hotel in Zihua I have known for 18 years , I have to have my beach. I lived in Mexico for 20 years in October. I started in Cabo.. I gave up my apartment in Zihua let’s say during the diaper over the mouth time. Volaris air had cheap flights to Zihua but no more they stoped the flights no customers. We are about the same age but the heat there can really wear me down it didn’t before. My friend said try PV it’s a little cooler,I went there about a month ago the last time I was there was 2005 I think it lost its charm and its a lot more expensive ! I am from the U.S. like you and I know how much you love Mexico ! My friend will retire in 97 days yes he is counting , he would visit in the winters when there was no work and go to Zihua. It’s sad that a lot of snow birds I new and got older and are not returning, Time seams to be going faster like a small roll of toilet paper ja ja. Sorry for the long story but you feel like an old friend. I have been in bed in the U.S. with pneumonia tomorrow back to the doctor I’m a little better. I got sick when I returned from PV to Guanajuato The doctor thinks I got pneumonia because food got stuck in my right lower lung. Thanks for the memories Andy best wishes to you, you always have a place to stay if you need one good night amigo .

6 days! Excellent… Enjoy and thanks for chiming in.

Thanks so much for watching!

I try… Thanks for watching. 🤪🇲🇽

Hi Abe, Thanks for your comment. Although this video was posted a year ago, I do hope to return to Acapulco some time in the near future.

Hi Pavel, I haven’t been making videos lately but I am returning to Acapulco in February. I’ll see how it goes since the city was leveled by hurricane Otis.

OMG I hope they turn up soon. My Acapulco family are all accounted for but their homes were both hit very hard. Even my usual hotel (Fiesta Americana) stated they won’t be open again until 2026.

@@timelesstravelclub6240 So glad to hear they are ok and that you weren't there!! It sounded like sheer terror. I feel worried about the poor Mexicans there trying to make a living and the food and water situation has been very bad there. You take care Andy! 👍😉❤

@@WeDidntExpectthis You are right. So many lives affected. I can’t imagine those few hours during impact. Thanks for checking in.

That is correct!

Hey Paul, I know that helpless feeling you speak of. I hope your friends are ok. All my family and friends are accounted for but they lost much of their possessions. I can’t wait to see them all again in February. Thanks for checking in.

Eight hours would be plenty of time as long as you’re organized.

Haha... yes Ana, my luggage and I are both safe at home now. I used to listen to Gino Vannelli back when he was in his prime. It was great to get re-acquainted with his music.

Hey Dan! You are going to love PV. The food, the Mexican culture and diverse neighborhoods are unmatched. There is also much more English spoken in PV. I try to split my time between Acapulco and Vallarta. They are both official happy places of mine. And it makes me happy I was able to help with your choices as well. Thanks for checking in.

Hello Gringos! Yes, we are kindred spirits indeed... The love of vinyl AND Mexico?! Although you are slightly ahead of me on record count. I have seen your videos and I am envious of your nomadidness. I have watched some of your Mexico videos here and there. Keep up the good work. I loved my time in Mexico until covid closed me down. But I still post a video here and there and strive to visit more frequently south of the border someday soon. Ever been to Acapulco? Perhaps we can cross paths in an original home away from home for me.

@@timelesstravelclub6240 We haven't made it to the west coast of Mexico yet, but it is on the list and we are looking forward to it.

Must have been a great concert back in that time. I understand he still tours. I watched a RUclips video of him and his brother. Of course he uses a real orchestra now but man, he can still sing! Another Canadian find for me was Latin singer Amanda Martínez. I loved her Mexican music and was shocked she was Canadian. BTW vinyl outsold CDs last year. It’s a thing. Please don’t let your awesome son buy a cheapie turntable to play those precious gems with. Haha

@@timelesstravelclub6240 Thanks for mentioning Amanda Martinez - I had never heard of her. I am now a fan. Great music! It looks like most of her concerts are in Ontario - so I will keep my eye out to see if she comes out to BC. Yes, my son recently got a turntable from his sister for his birthday. I helped him assemble it and was amused to see he had zero concept of how it should be put together (my payback for all the times he has treated me like a tech newbie). We are talking - it won't work unless you take the plastic protector off the needle - and those dark lines are the gaps between songs. I am sure you will be horrified to hear the turntable has Bluetooth - no receiver or 30 pound speakers necessary. He was only prepared to open one "collector" disc, so I now have Taylor Swift Midnights memorized. Next stop, a trip to the vintage store. Not sure he is going to find The Weeknd - but ... I hope all is well!

Hi Brett, yes I love me some blues too. I don’t know how to travel with just a back pack. I guess I’m not that disciplined. But I do see the advantage.

@@timelesstravelclub6240 The key to traveling with a backpack is that you have to do laundry during your trip. I bring folding hangers and just wash the clothes with me in the shower if a laundry isn't available. Socks make good scrubbing mittens :)

@@bjones9942 Love this! I am going to make my socks mittens and scrub them good.. LOL I have been trying to reduce my luggage size for YEARS!! I am only fractionally better ... I bring way too much camera and tech stuff along!! Grrrr.. I have totally blown my laptop during a thunderstorm so this time I am also bringing a Surge protector.. But at least I can leave it there at friend's place.

One of these years I’m actually going to make it there, Rod. Haha. I always seem to pass through so I know how beautiful it is. You’re a lucky man.

Hey Rod, how are you? Can you believe it? I’m finally going to pull the trigger on a visit to Bucerias! Just for 2 or 3 days mind you but I knew the exact person to reach out to for a hotel recommendation. Haha. It will be mid February.

Oh wow what an experience that must have been. I too stop in thrift stores whenever they are around. Never with the luck you had. Amazing! I try to be the first in line at Estate sales and have had a couple great hauls going that rout. I still love going to record stores but they are either way too expensive or I am not disciplined enough to just walk away. I’m not sure which. Enjoy your trip as it will be a while still for me. Where are you headed?

Thank you for hooking me up to this video and this channel! ❤

@@GringosRUs Sure.. I seriously thought Andy was the next RUclips sensation when I started watching him... I still go back and re-watch my favorites! :)

It was fun looking back on it now but as you would imagine… I was in perpetual stress mode for a short time. 🤪

@@timelesstravelclub6240 I can imagine and know what it feels like. Air Italia lost my luggage on my honey moon and it had my wedding dress in it. We found it later in some random luggage storage room at the airport. Hardly anyone spoke English. We were lucky. It only took four hours, not three weeks!

@@eyesea123 oh wow. Not your wedding dress! Ok you win. That must have been so stressful!

@@timelesstravelclub6240 ha ha, its all good now at least!

Thanks Jeffrey! I’m so glad you stopped by.
