As Ronald suggested above, there is a possibility that your kids may encounter someone offering drugs. Although, this could happen in almost any country one visits, not only in Mexico, I have found that many teenagers and young adults falsely believe that possession of drugs in Mexico is no big deal...

I'm rambling a bit, but if you use traveler's checks, make sure that you sign them correctly before departing on your trip. I once observed a distressed tourist who had erroneously pre-signed BOTH the signature and countersignature lines on all of her traveler's checks when she purchased them in the...

I was recently in Puerto Vallarta and saw a sign at La Paloma Plaza de Toros (a.k.a. the Bullring at the Marina) that said this year they were opening on Wednesday, November 23rd, at 5 P.M. Once the season opens, the bullfights are on Wednesdays at 5 P.M. Make sure that you learn something about the...

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...
With the onset of Winter in Puerto Vallarta just around the corner, its a good time to think about the poorer local kids who need warm clothing. Granted, it doesn't get that cold in PV, so Artic polar coats aren't needed. But, warm socks, sweaters and other similar clothing are much appreciated. The...

I'm always in Guadalajara for Halloween, so I don't know much about Puerto Vallarta activities. I seem to remember comments about the local kids dressing up and receiving candy on the Malecon (the seaside boardwalk in Downtown Puerto Vallarta). By the way, the kids don't ask for "Trick or Treat" in ...

Hi Stew, I was just injecting little humor into my last post. I agree with you 100% about Walmart: it's the locals who bring most of the business. I was amused the first time I saw the small souvenir section at the Puerto Vallarta Walmart. I mean, who would want to return home with a suitcase full o...

According to the U.S. customs website ( http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/ ): Fish, if it is for your personal use, is generally admissible. Read the answer to the topic: "What food can I bring into the United States (fruit, cheese, meat, etc)?" It is near the bottom center...

I have seen the same thing happen, on rare occasions, with the locally-produced CDs sold by the musicians who wander through the tourist restaurants and play for the guests. If you find out that your CD won't play, you will have to track them down on a subsequent evening and they should happily exch...

New Paperback Books
When I was last in Puerto Vallarta in March 2005, there was a relatively new bookstore, appropriately called "The Book Store". They probably had the best selection of new English-language paperbacks that I have found in Puerto Vallarta. They were located on the southside of town at 333-A Venustiano ...
