ADVISORY – May 20, 2025
The U.S. Department of State has issued updated travel warnings for parts of Mexico, including popular vacation destinations such as Baja California Sur, La Paz, Los Cabos, and Cabo San Lucas, citing an increase in cartel violence and threats against officials. The advisory, revised in mid-May 2025, urges Americans to exercise increased caution and consider enhanced personal safety measures when visiting these areas.

A Message to our Members
As 2024 comes to an end, I thought it time for an update on the status of our club. A few months ago we announced that we were having to close the office, go mostly on line and suspend some of the services we offered. This was a very difficult decision, but we could not see any other options.
Upon announcing these changes, we were encouraged by the support that members emailed and shared with us. Thank you very much, your support was very much appreciated. We also heard the frustration for some as questions and phone calls went unanswered. This certainly is not the way we want to do business.
In order to better serve our members, I am happy to share with you that we have obtained a small office in Rio Vista California, just a few doors down from the old office. We will be staffing it sometime after the start of the New Year. The club has always prided itself with staff that were responsive and helpful to the membership, eager to assist them with insurance questions and planning their adventures. We endeavor to return to this level of service.
I have been asked if there will be a Vagabundos Beaches and Whales Tour this coming February. Unfortunately, we just are not in a position at this time to pull it off. We are planning to return to our caravans and other activities in the near future.
Thank you for hanging in there with us. We will advise you when the office is up and running and able to assist you in any way.
Felices fiestas a todos!
Happy holidays to all!

We love hearing from our members, Here are a couple of recent messages from members….
A heartfelt “muchas muchas gracias” to María Hernández and Mark Martinez!! Although I’ve been getting my Mexican auto insurance through Vagabundos’s for over 20 years, I messed up this year. I can blame it on the small font as I navigated the website on my phone (versus a computer) but nevertheless, I purchased the wrong policy. Frustrated with my own efforts to resolve the problem, I contacted fellow vag Mark Martinez who put me in touch with Maria Hernandez. Maria understood the issue, was super supportive, and expeditiously fixed my error and reissued my new (and correct) policy. Thank you both so much! I’m grateful!
Best wishes as we as a club regroup and move forward.
I wanted to thank you so much for helping Casey with his claim. The incident was extremely stressful for our family. Working with you ladies on getting this claim executed really helped relieve some of our stress. What a horrible deal my husband Roger and my son Casey experienced BUT the whole out come with them home and your help with Casey’s claim really made things not so bad anymore. Thanks again for everything! Vagabundos and CHUBBS is the best!
