hmm so how much further north is it?
I saw on the map that it looked a bit further north...does the nuevo bus take you to town from there or do you have to catch another bus? I do not mind taking the bus from Paradise Beach is it a much longer bus ride?

hmmm Don Julio
Is there a place to find a good price on Don Julio? I think last time I bought it in the US it was about $45 for a bottle of the Anejo. Try a completo, yum! Something with the sangrita allows you to drink more lol!

Playa del Sol Grand
Has anyone stayed here? I have not found many reviews about this place. I am going on my honeymoon in November and have to consider at least 2 hotels. I have stayed in Nuevo, the hotel zone, & the romantic zone, but for this trip I know I want to stay in Nuevo. Thanks for the feedback.

weather
I have been to PV 4 times...by far the time I was there in June last year was the worst weather but I think that was very unusual it misted for 4 days straight and it wasn't very warm. Late August was hot and a bit humid at times.... rained one night other than that would rain for maybe 15-30 mins. ...

Wages
As a CPA for just under 10 years trust me when I say it is not hard to deduct wages paid to illegal workers. First of all, if an employer is shown documentation that looks real to them they will not be notified until March(at the very earliest) of the year following the first year they employed the ...

Los Pibes
I would suggest Los Pibes as well. Although 3 of us blew a bit of money there, but we had a bottle of wine, appetizer, steaks, deserts, and after dinner drinks ! It is a place I will go back to everytime I am lucky enough to go to PV.

oh the weather....
I have an interesting comment on the weather....I was there last June around the 19th I think and I was cold when I tried to swim. I am guessing it was about 75. I wore jeans and walked to the malecon from Old Town and wasn't the least bit hot. Having said that I think that is a bit unusual. I would...

Interesting....
If illegal immigrants are hired as EMPLOYEES then yes the taxes stay in the US even if they would be entitled to recieve a refund of any taxes or social security later in life. If illegal immigrants are hired as a SUBCONTRACTOR they do not pay taxes. IF someone is paid under $600 for the year they a...

Memo's
I went to Memos in June. Waited in line one day but that had to do with the rain limiting the seating. The pancakes were great and lots of choices. The juevos a las mexicanos were very good too. We had breakfast at another place in old town. Krapathenos or something like that was a Greek place they ...
