btw, has anyone seen the *other* Vallarta movie, the one shot in Yelapa, *Which Way Por Favor?* Interesting visuals, if you've been there before, but definitely low budget, and a hard R rating, they had some rather sexy stuff in there. Made the mistake of watching it with my 16 yr old son, that was ...

I've never seen the movie, and until recently it was only available on VHS (out of print, used copies only). When I saw recently that it was becoming available on DVD in May, I advance ordered a copy thru Amazon for, I believe, around $20 with shipping. For anyone interested... Jeez, I have to start...

Our family trip to PV this week has been postponed, due to my son's illness, until this October. I'm sorry we missed our trip this spring, but I sure don't mind missing the crowds we would have faced. We tend to travel off-season where possible, having visited PV in mid to late spring and fall befor...

Thanks to everyone for their concerns and best wishes. My wife and I are heading up the coast for a long weekend, to Mendocino, so we'll still be getting out of town. It won't be warm or sunny there most likely, but I WON'T be at the office on Monday or Tuesday, so I can't complain :D My son has had...

Re: Canopy Tour
Lauriel- Who did you book the canopy tour through? Do you member the cost in USD? Thanks! Karissa, I booked directly through Los Veranos' website and it was around $142/USD. WELL WORTH IT! You can book through this website, too, I believe. I did that with our Las Caletas by day trip and was very pl...

What a difference a day makes. My son has taken a turn for the worse, and I've been spending the morning trying to get out of our *nonrefundable* airfare and re-renting our condo. Thanks to everyone for their advice and input. I agree completely about people exposing others to their illnesses, seems...

Yes, we're consulting with his doctor on this. Mono is contagious, but not terribly. The main reason it's commonly called the *kissing disease* is because not only is this the main way its spread amongst teenagers, it's not easily spread otherwise. Cold and flu viruses spread much more easily throug...

health care
Well this is a question I hadn’t expected to be posting. We leave for PV in about 2 weeks. My 17 yr old son was diagnosed a week ago with mononucleosis. For various reasons, we can’t reschedule our trip, and are going on the assumption right now that he’ll be over the worst of it, and that he’ll be ...

Re: PV in October
It is a lovely time of year to be in Puerto Vallarta. The seasonal moisture has replenished the foliage of the jungle and landscaped areas. The humidity is still there so care must be taken to keep properly hydrated. I agree completely. Our last visit was in mid October '04, and it was incredibly g...

Though I don't have first hand experience with it, I've read in more than one place that there is a dry-season road to Yelapa that is used primarily for moving large amounts of construction materials and other very heavy loads. I imagine it isn't marked, or maintained much, and I wouldn't even consi...

2-way radios
Here's one I've never seen mentioned before. When on vacation with our teenagers, we sometimes use 2-way radios to keep in touch. They don't work as well in urban areas with lots of users, but in some places, particularly camping, they can work well. My question is: does anyone know if Mexico uses t...

I've only done the Los Veranos lines, which are reputed have some of the highest runs, which seems about right. It was said that some were over 200 feet up. From what I've seen online, it looks like the Vallarta Adventures lines are the lower of the 3 (El Eden being the third), and the comments abov...

btw, Yelapa is not an island, but is on an isolated stretch of the mainland in the southern part of Banderas Bay. There is a road to its perimeter, though is passable only during dry weather, and is used primarily for heavy transport, such as building materials. No roads extend into the village itse...

If you want to read up more on Yelapa check out http://www.yelapa.info Good advice. Yelapa is a very low key, relatively primitive community, tho I say that in a most positive way. You leave the rest of the world behind when you go, and many of the conveniences we enjoy. Many shops and restaurants ...
