Head for Mexico is an exhaustive compendium of advice, tips and information on the nitty-gritty of moving to Mexico, living in Mexico, and connecting with Mexico. Because Adams has managed numerous border crossings, rented homes and apartments, and successfully coped with every quirky living arrangement an exuberant self-reliant, good-natured gringo could encounter, his counsel is invaluable. Head for Mexico is a terrifically useful book for folks contemplating moving to Mexico, renting for a month in Puerto Vallarta, or for those who just love reading about the adventure -- paying your water bill, for instance -- that is the stuff of every day life in Mexico. Head for Mexico is an exhaustive compendium of advice, tips and information on the nitty-gritty of moving to Mexico, living in Mexico, and connecting with Mexico. It can also be exhausting to read -- a little like the endless "be carefuls" your over-protective grandmother gave you when you visited her in the fifth-grade. There is no human activity (including toilet etiquette for women!) on which Don Adams does not give instruction. Because he has managed numerous border crossings, rented homes and apartments in zillions of Mexican communities, and successfully coped with every quirky living arrangement an exuberant self-reliant, good-natured gringo could encounter, his counsel is invaluable. Of special note are the wealth of URL's and other book recommendations included within the covers of the book. And, even though Mr. Adams, both in his cover photo and in the many personal vignettes he uses to illustrate the story of a life lived in two culture, proclaims himself "a renegade", he is not really an outlaw at heart. After all, what true renegade travels with triplicate copies of every official document ever issued him, an extra ATM card, and a spare fuel filter? But Head for Mexico is a great guide to life below the Rio Grande, and Don Adams adds enough references to tequilla and cerveza to allow the gentlest of readers to share his romance. Party on, dude, and ALWAYS carry your own supply of toilet paper!
