Re: Dire warnings about banditos!
:roll: My sister claims that she heard someone (she can't remember who) interviewed on NPR (she can't remember the name of the program) about being in a PV tour bus (recently? not clear) that was suddenly surrounded by gun-toting banditos on horseback on the outskirts of PV and all the passengers w...

My first question would be, Does he want to go? If he would prefer to stay at home, certainly not an option at 15 years old.... BUT there is nothing worse than dragging a teenager along that does not want to be there. A couple of years ago someone posted that he brought his son along and he was such...

The one on top of the hill is Las Carmelitas. Good service, good food, not overly expensive and a great view at sunset. It does get a little chilly at sunset so you might want to take a light sweater or jacket. They do give you blankets if it gets too cold. The taxi driver's will usually let you off...

They were feeding you a line. I have never had them tell me the insurance was mandatory, they try to sell it to you but if you tell them you have CDW coverage through your credit card they should accept that. By the time you pay them for the additional insurance coverage, there goes you good daily r...

Re: Red Tide is back
Hello all, we just flew back from PV last night. I just wanted to let youy know that the last 2 days we were there we saw a huge "red tide". We went out deep sea fishing on Tuesday (3-28-06) and the water was normal when we left. By the time we got back there was red water everywhere. The fishing g...

Re: Getting Ripped Off in Bars/Clubs
Is there anything you can do if you get ripped off by a waiter inside a bar?? I was ripped off last week by a waiter in Andale's. I gave him a $200 pesos bill and he said I only gave him a $20 bill. There is a BIG difference between those two bills so I know he ripped me off. I asked him if he coul...

If it was me........ I would stay in Puerto Vallarta. With a group that big I think you will be able to find something that fits everyone in your group easier in PV. You might not all feel like doing the same thing every moment and there is alot more to chose from in PV. If you are looking for a mor...

Just an FYI: To operate legally in the bay all boats must have a life jacket for each person on board and they are supposed to be wearing them. Here is where the problem lies. From Mismoyola south the boats are not governed by the Harbor Master in Puerto Vallarta but rather by the Harbor Master in C...

Hey WPM, I said the gap has closed on alot of drugs, not all. Also you have to take into consideration that the majority of us who visit PV and live in the U.S. have some type of health ins. usually with a set amount of co-pay for prescriptions. Given that fact alot of the drugs are indeed cheaper f...

It sounds to me like in the back of your head you are questioning whether or not you should be making this trip when you want to plan in advance just incase he gets worse while you are on vacation. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with being prepared but how much are you really going to enj...
