Hey I just thought of something Tom and Lorrie. If you win the big lottery then you will have to get some real crowns and you really will be Mr. & Mr Crown! And we could also call you Mr. & Mrs Money Bags.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!

Mr. Crown and I are meeting some friends tomorrow. They are coming to our condo first for margaritas and then we are going to Cazador's for Mexican food. They had planned to go to Cancun for her parent's 50th wedding anniversary but because of the hurricanes they decided to try PVR and the GCP!!! They are going May 6 - 13 so we'll have to get things started for them.

I sure hope they like it since there is 14 of them. Otherwise, Mr. and Mrs. Crown Paradise may have to go under cover??

Ha! Ha!

Sounds like a fiesta to me! Hope you had fun and if Mr. Crown has to go undercover than I think you should join him

Just remember that when you go through the first set of door after you pass your security, that first group of people calling out to you are the timeshare people. Turn left and go through the second set of doors, that's where your Sunquest rep will be, they should be holding up a sign that says Sunquest on it. Have fun and have one for me!

My pleasure to help and thanks. Just so you know - I don't do rye/whiskey. Got way way way to drunk on it many years ago and can't stand the smell of it to this very day!!! Everything else is acceptable!

I would have to save the equivalant of half a vacations' cost to get my >50 year old body to drag my and Kay's stuff across that bridge. She packs 1 swim suit a day, 1 new outfit a day with matching shoes, a bathroom full of hair products and makeup and a kitchen sink

YUP Vancouver it is!!! Well, this is how I see it......Your 1st visit to PV your suitcase is overstuffed. Once you get there you realize that all you need are a minimum of 3 swimsuits (I know this from experience, as I only brought 2) , a toothbrush and what you are wearing preferably shorts and a tank top...oh and a sarrong to wrap around, but those are way cheap in PV.

SSSoooooo, to answer your question???? DEFINITELY WALK ACROSS THE BRIDGE....IT'S CHEAPER.

I beg to differ. Yes, catching a cab across the bridge is technically cheaper, but only by a buck or two. The yellow cabs across the pedestrian bridge have been "On" to the pricing for quite some time. I GUARANTEE you that if you are loaded down with luggage, the price you get from one of them will likely be only a dollar or two less than one inside.

Their reasoning is that once you've gone to the effort of carrying all your belongings across, you're not going to go through the effort of taking them back (a fairly accurate guestimate I'd say), so therrefore they have a "captive" audience.

Save yourselves the pain in the a$$, and just pay the rate inside...why get all hot/sweaty when you first arrive, just to save a measely couple dollars???

I totally agree with you WPM.

Years ago the advise to leave the airport saved you more money... but back then there wasn't even a pedestrian bridge to cross!!! You just left the airport and started walking towards town along the highway, after some unseen boundary, then regular cabs asked it you needed a ride.

As above, taxi drivers have "caught on" and the difference is not as significant as before.
