Be adventuresome and ride the bus from Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita. It is a great experience and one I highly recommend. No need for a tour guide. From Wal-Mart take the green and white bus to Sayulita. Once you get to Sayulita, walk around and enjoy. It is a very laid back surfing town. There are l...

Mucho frio in Iowa
Well, it is so cold in Iowa that most of the schools (including Ankeny where I work at) have cancelled school for tomorrow which is totally unheard of. The temps are supposed to be -30 without the windchill. I'm thinking the folks in Canada are sharing their cold weather with us. Please stop!!! We h...

Saturday
That's not even fair! Can't say it was a beautiful Sat. in Iowa. We got blasted with ice and then 8" of snow on top of it with temps around 0 F. I have spent the last 3+ hours on stuff I brought home from work and still am not done. Tom will be working all day tomorrow. 9 weeks from today we leave f...

Dreams
If you are thinking about Dreams, make sure it is the one in Mismaloya and not the one in Nuevo Vallarta. We have heard all kinds of horror stories with the one in NV and had some friends that were looking at it and their neighbor who is also a travel agent told them to stay away from there. They wi...

What resort are you staying at? That might help if others have stayed there and utilized their all inclusive option. Like Tom said, we stay at the GCP and feel like we have the best of both worlds. If we decide to go off property to eat, we don't feel bad. We have friends that own restaurants so we ...

Forgot to mention
I did forget to mention a couple of things that are now being offered by the GCP. When you check in, you will get a coupon for a free tropical tour. This has nothing to do with a timeshare presentation. This is just the resort's way of saying thank you. Also, Martin and Nacho have now set up that yo...

Definitely recommend checking out Bucerias and Sayulita. We already have plans to go in March with some staff at the GCP and CPC. Rent a palapa and some chairs in Sayulita, pick up some cervezas at the local tienda and get fresh tamales, pastries, etc. from the vendors off the beach!! It is great!!!...

Yes, we did our daily doughtnut run to Wal-Mart for the staff. They love it! Sunbusters has Paco and Sylvia for the sunscreen and mini massage. You can't go wrong! Wish we were back down there. It is freezing in Iowa with more snow on the way. Yuck!!! 97 more days until we are back in warm and sunny...

Taxi service
Tom and I just got back from PVR last night. We booked the transportation for my sister and her family through this website and it was great!! We were all very impressed. As soon as we came through customs, there was a sign with our name on it, they gave it to us, called their office in the terminal...

Hola everyone! Tom and I just got home last night after being in PVR for a week and we noticed that it was very quiet down on the malecon the 3 nights we went to Andales compared to last year at this same time. Hopefully, things will start to pick up soon. We had a great time and can't wait for our ...

Golden Crown Paradise
We leave a week from today for our 15th time to the GCP and can't wait!! This resort caters to adults only (over 18 years) and is a great honeymoon destination IMO. They have all menu dining and 24 hour room service. We can also go next door to the Crown Paradise Club (family all-inclusive) and use ...
