Teaching English
Planning to finally make the move sometime after the first of the year. Plan to rent an apartment for a year before actually purchasing a place. My question is this: I have sufficient retirement income to be comfortable. My partner has a smaller monthly income and would like to supplement his income...

Question about Destiladeros and itinerary
Traveling with three people who have never been to Vallarta, and I haven't returned since 2007. Was wondering if it's still possible to get to Destiladeros baach and if there was still a little restaurant there on the beach. Also, Ive been planning activities for us as a group. We are going to use b...

I knew the owner of La Casa de la Torre back in the 90s. I would often go to their house in the evenings for some board games or a dip in the pool. It was a great house. Someone else bought it around 2000 or so and turned it into a B and B for awhile, but they made a few wrongheaded architectural de...

Electronic cigaratees?
A friend traveling with me this summer is trying to quit smoking. Does anyone know if there are any shops that sell those electronic cigarettes that have flavored filters, etc.?

City tours
Will be visiting Vallarta this summer with three people who have never been. They really want to do a city tour. I'm okay with that, but I was wondering if anyone knew which one was the "best." I know best is relative, but I guess I mean whichever one has the best information and the least amount of...

Eloisa or Posado de Roger
Usually come down for a month or two and walk around until I find an apartment I like. But...making a quick trip with two middle-aged ladies (a cousin and a former co-worker) who have never been. Found a GREAT deal for six nights. Hotel choices include Hotel Eloisa and Posado de Roger. I've stayed a...

My point was not to compare the two situations you mentioned as being the same thing. My point was that, as I stated, horrible things can happen anywhere. Do you hide behind a wall or do you go on with your life and continue to have fun while you can? If you are going to let that situation deter you...

I don't live in Vallarta yet, and all my info comes from what I read on the forums and what my friends who live there tell me. I'm coming down for a week in June and looking for a condo to buy. I plan to ultimately live there full-time. Put the situation into perspective. Yes, it was a horrible thin...

Total cost to buy
Let's say I'm buying a condo, and I'll round the figure to $200,000 USD. Including any closing costs, setting up the trust, any other fees, etc., how much extra would be paid? Thanks!

Chino's Paradise
Thanks for the answers. I haven't been there since 2006, so I wasn't sure either. I liked to swim there, though, better than El Eden because it was less crowded.

I had heard awhile back that they were going to build a pool by their rooftop terrace. Does anyone know if that happened or is happening?

Chino's Paradise
I asked about this place in another section, but no one answered, so I'll try here, which might be more appropriate.
Is Chino's Paradise (not Chico's) still open? There was some discussion awhile back on here, but no one gave a definite answer.

Bucerias gym?
Does anyone know if there is a gym open in Bucerias? I remember a few years ago there was one on the second floor of a building.

This question has probably been asked a thousand times, so forgive me if it's a rerun. I'm researching and planning my move for around November 2011. I've already figured out how to get the dog and bird there (the bird is not easy!). My question is this: Since I'm intending to live there year-round ...

Let me clarify a bit of my original post. I'm planning to retire to Vallarta and live full-time starting next year. As far as moving the bird, I know there are requirements for animals traveling by air. I also considered (though I would do this as a last resort) driving down with him in his containe...

Pet bird
Does anyone know the requirements for bringing a pet bird to stay? He's legal with the metal band around his claw. He's a dusky-headed conure. What about having him shipped? Thanks!

I can't tell you how many times I've run into people there who are doing AI, especially out in Nuevo, who tell me with regret that they are not staying in Old Town. Try the Buenaventura for AI if you must, since it's in town, or Playa Los Arcos, but honestly, the most fun I had in Vallarta was when ...
