The sailboat adventure did end early, after the lightning struck. I do not know whether this was by the captain's choice or the harbor's command. As for the Rhythms of the Night, the storm was in full swing when we got to the window and were told this was not a safe night to have a wheelchair on boa...

Great Special Dinner
Oh my goodness, now I see why Trio gets such great reviews! We chose them for our first night in Puerto Vallarta, and it was for sure the best meal we had in any restaurant all week! There were 8 of us and everyone was thrilled. Also, it was really hot outside, and the icy air conditioning made ever...

Struck By Lightning, and Other Misadventures
First let me say that our first trip to PV last week was actually quite wonderful, and I'll say more about that on other parts of this site. But I want to let others know that if they are going to PV during the rainy season--meaning this month, or next year late summer/autumn--you may want to stick ...

Thanks
So it sounds like maybe between four and six bucks for most places in El Centro or the Romantic Zone? That doesn't sound so bad. These guys have to buy gasoline and have something left to live off of, after all. Our landlord is providing the airport ride, so that part is covered. I just don't want t...

What Should a Taxi Cost?
So on the heels of all the discussion of taxi fares/scams, I have a question. I will probably spend a whole lot of time in taxis on my upcoming trip. My daughter uses a wheelchair, and I walk with a cane; stairs are very painful for me to use and impossible for her. We are staying in El Centro and a...

Are Pockets Safe?
I went to the bank today to get some traveler's checks for our PV trip, and the bank teller and I talked about taking cash too. Of course we want to take some cash with us. I said our plan was to put the cash in our front pockets only, since purses can be grabbed and back pockets slashed. She said t...

Can We Get In?
Can a person in a wheelchair get into Mariachi Loco, or is it upstairs?

Sharks and More Sharks
What I have read, is that the dolphins form a shark patrol across the mouth of Banderas Bay in order to protect their young (in the Bay) from shark attacks. Apart from that possible stopgap, no, nothing is set up. That's the point of this particular experience--to enjoy the dolphins without putting ...

No Sharks After All
That sounds a lot more likely. Thank you for your comforting reply. That said, do you know when the jellyfish are at their worst? We'll be there in about three weeks.

In Banderas Bay? Really?
I saw lots of anecdotes regarding shark attacks in various parts of Mexico...which is a little like someone where I am (Seattle) panicking over a shark attack in the Gulf of Mexico, given the size of the country we're talking about, and the length of its shoreline. I also heard some guesses. My fami...

Chico's or Chino's?
Which place is better, Chico's or Chino's? I read a couple of guide books and decided on Chino's. Then I read some more and became hopelessly confused. We are going to be there on a Sunday afternoon the first week of October, and it is the first time for all of us in PV.

Taking the Terminally Rude Down a Notch
So...those of you telling these stories in which you defended the server from dreadful, unspeakably rude tourists...have you ever seen an actual fight break out when this happens? I am having this vision...myself in PV with my three strapping 20-something sons, each of whom has worked as a food serv...

What to do on Sunday?
We are heading to PV this fall for the first time. I've done tons of research online and in tour books, and am concerned everything will be closed Sun. We arrive on a Sat. and are not the sort to lay on the beach. Ideas? Our concierge suggests a tour to San Sebastian, but after 12 hours of airports ...
