Re:cheap hotel
Kevin21....you're correct that it is not appropriate etiquette to provide URL's to another's BB, however I was just pointing out that Mogens does NOT go out of his way to pretend there's no BB but this one; he provides some links so that posters can hopefully get multiple perspectives on subjects. s...

Re:How much can I get from a timeshare presentatio
poko.....looking at the extent of the thread, I think this issue has been "beaten to death". We've received a good cross-section from people (both in favour and those opposed) to attending timeshare presentations. I think name-calling detracts from the informational exchange that someone new to the ...

Toronto-Related Thread
Sorry Folks....removed this thread (don't bark at me - born and raised in Toronto!) as it did not relate to the Complaints/Suggestions theme for PV. Perhaps another area or emails might be more appropriate for news of the concert ticket sales, etc. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

SPUD2, Next time, with respect to stingray "testing"...........

Re:offers of free stuff
Point taken Sue, but I think (hope) you know where I'm coming from. If you're not serious, don't engage in what you know is a waste of time for everyones' concern - then don't start it up; especially when you've done this several times before (at least 3 times); it's just straight dishonest.

Re:How much can I get from a timeshare presentatio
Wig, you indicate you've done this type of thing at least 3 times before, so I doubt there's any sincere desire to learn about timeshare purchase. I'm sure you've also read the BB's where folks are indicating (a.) it's a valuable waste of precious vacation time and (b.) it's dishonest when you have ...

Re:Blue Shrimp
Got that right SPUD2! Made the mistake of taking my sis-in-law and her husband there for supper. Cost me a small fortune. We all left unimpressed. Walked over to Trio to meet up with some BB'ers - all of us wished we'd opted to eat there. While also not cheap, at least you got some ambience. The Blu...

Re:Authenic Mexican Food
So, one should always insist on guacamole on their Quarter Pounder at MacDonalds in PV!sioux4noff (Jun 23, 2003 08:02 p.m.):
What do you mean by authentic Mexican food? You are in Mexico, and it's food.Therefore it's authentic Mexican food, right?

Re:safety in and around PV
As El Cuchillo states (Hola Howard!!!) just use common sense as you would in any city in the U.S. or Canada. If you stagger out of a bar, totally wasted and wander up alleyways and back streets at 3 AM, you may not be "asking for it", but you may be increasing the temptation of others to take advant...

R of the N is one of our favourites. You can book ahead (online, thru Vallarta Adventures) and get a 10% discount plus having assurance of getting the night you want. Another option is (assuming you'll have a tour rep. onsite where you're staying) is to book thru them when you get there. The main do...

Re:Blue Shrimp
Add Mrs. Bob and I to the 'non-returnees' list. Took another couple with us. Had to take a window seat. Had a delightful view of the stucco wall of the building across the street. Blue Shrimp is also on a street where buses were zooming by every couple of minutes. Had the coconut shrimp - well prepa...

Unless you have a friend/spouse working at a bank (as I do) most people face a transaction fee. Last but not least, 60 pesos (2 or 3 beers) on a multi-thousand dollar...

First of all, I'm a Canadian. I have no problem in being considered a native of Canada. Someone needs some 'over-sensitivity pills' !!! Secondly, last year I wore a baseball cap with all kinds of Canada and Edmonton and Alberta pins. Always bartered in shops as I could see "the Locals" "the local re...

Hola susanna! Excellent point and well-taken. I started on my "AI rant" and let myself get carried away to the point of labelling and stereotyping bargain-conscious travellers. Everyone should do what's right for them when vacationing and not label each other as 'right' or 'wrong' simply becasue oth...
