				| 
 |  
				| My wife and I are moving to Mexico (GDL) in mid-January.  Any last-minute important things we should do, know, bring, not forget about? 
 Anything you wish you'd known before arrival?
 
 Any advice is helpful and much appreciated, thanks.

				| Do you have Apostilles on your degrees, teaching certificates? officail copies of your birthcertificates? marriage certificate? Does you wife have office notice of her name change (if she changed her name that is)? 
 Are you planning on bringing a laptop?
 At least bring a memory stick--one of the best inventions of the decade!
 A digital camera?
 All the cables for charging/downloading electronic devises etc.
 
 A good guide book so you don't have to ask us how to get from Guadalajara to Oaxaca for Easter Break.
