Things must have changed recently. Where were eggs and poultry taken? I have
made over 20 trips to Mexico and never had any agricultural inspection. I
have taken lots of wine into Mexico. Mexican beer is very good--wine is
questionable in my opinion. There are some great rums and tequilla in Mexico.
Also there are plenty of supermarkets--and better yet the central
market--which is part of the cruising experience.

I am not sure what current regulations are, but in the past we went to TJ and
picked up our ham license and exchanged some dollars and picked up medications
we might need for the trip.

We have the eggs and poultry taken at Cabo in December 2003. I agree
about the wine, take it with you. We had over 50 bottles and no one
said a word. They were ships stores after all.

On our last trip we arrived off Cabo at about 10 PM--heard all of the
discos, looked at each other and went directly on to LA Paz--no hassel
there.

The other thing we do, is to cook most of the meat (don't eat stakes) in
dishes which are frozen--thus we have no raw meat. The other advantage of
this is that you have meals ready to microwave in seal a meal vacuum bags.
