Re:Airport navigation
you will get off the plane, walk down the tunnel and arrive at the entrance for immigration. there they will look at your passport or id, and whatnot and stamp you through. then you go get your luggage, and then you have to pass through customs.. all you do is push a button on a stop light thingie and if it goes green you walk through, if it goes red then you have to let them look at some of your stuff. once you make it through customs you will be freed into the main part of the airport, and then you can step outside where there will be a gazillion cabs, one of which will gladly take u to ur resort!

When you get to the red/green light button stay together, it is only one push per family, so if you get a green you both go through. We have only gotten a red once and it is no big deal.

Also, as soon as you clear customs and the timeshare sharks, there is a bank and a money exchange on your left. The bank has excellent exchange rates, and if it is not open use the money exchange it is almost as good. Get enough pesos to last a few days, then there are ATM machines around town that have good exchange rates too.

La Jolla Mismaloya is a beautiful resort, you will have a wonderful honeymoon there. Be sure to bus or taxi it up to PV for all the wonderful restaurants, and try to get to the Malecon (sea side walkway) on a Sunday night.

The Walmart is quite a distance from the Airport.

Walmart is by the Marina, correct? Maybe just a confusion of locations. Definately not the airport!!
Re:Airport navigation
The prices are posted on the wall beside the taxi booths.
Re:Airport navigation
There are 8 of us. I understand that there are taxi vans. Are they easily available? Would I go to the taxi booth for a van, as well? Any idea what the cost will be? We are staying in Bucerias, at the Royal Decameron.
