My wife & I really enjoy your blog and dream about making a story like yours happen someday. We got married at the Blue Parrot on Nov 7, 2008 and are coming back this Nov for another wedding and to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! We've even tossed around the idea of looking at property with a real estate agent but aren't sure how we could move without some sort of even small income. I'm particularly interested in hearing more about how you started your business from the ground up, the process you went through, contacts you made and any general advice you have. Maybe we could even meet up for beers in Nov to talk firsthand? We'll buy if you feel like telling more stories? Let us know and keep up the good work on the blog! Tim & Kelly John & Libby,

Getting a work visa is not so easy though. If your visa process with the local consulate doesn't work out, I'd recommend hiring a lawyer in Playa del Carmen to pursue your visa. But before you spend all that money, you might want to live in Playa for a while to make sure it's what you really want. Vacationing in Playa del Carmen is dreamy, but living and especially working here can be very challenging. There actually is one gallery that I had forgotten about when writing this blog entry. <a href="http://www.jaimefierrod.com/" rel="nofollow">Jaime Fierro</a> has a gallery on Calle Corazon. Also for lots of great information, check out our <a href="http://intheroo.com/playa-del-carmen-forums/" rel="nofollow">Playa del Carmen forum</a>. Read what people are saying and ask lots of questions. Good luck to you! Hello David – It’s certainly easy to fall in love with Playa, isn’t it? Getting a work visa is not so easy though.

We rented a car and ended up there on our last day out of Cancun. My head was spinning because 5th. Ave. looks like a place that I've been dreaming about...I am a caricature artist, i've been at it for years...this street looks like I could get a LOT of customers. I have just applied for a FM3 working visa at the Mexican consolate in Philadelphia. They said because I work for myself it will take about 2 months...amybe mid Jan....if I get it. Are there any other tips you can think of that would help my quest. I would make better money on my own on the street but do you know any place that would let me work where I would pay or give a percentage to the house and be able to sirvive while waiting to get my license? ...I'm sorry to hear about the gallery absence...I also want to do some paintings from life (called plein air painting...small ones in about 3 hours) My website has no caricature samples, if you're curious, write me back for those....thanks for your attention to this ...good luck with your langauge skills...it's more difficult where most everyone speak English...Cheers!
