How does the Wal-Mart in P.V. compare to the Wal-Marts in the U.S.? Are there items that you miss? Can you order certain items if needed?

Well, I'm not worried about missing anything specific right now. I've been to different parts of Mexico about 8 times, but never to P.V. The difference this time, is that I'm moving there permanently. I'm just about finished with my degree in Travel & Tourism Management!
I know a lot of people do live there permanently, so I was a little curious if there are certain things that they miss the most. I already know that I will miss carpet, lol!
From my research, it seems that P.V. will be pretty easy to get used to. My husband and are are moving there this year with our three kids ages 8, 10 and 14. So I have many questions and have received helpful information here. Hopefully someday, I will have the opportunity to meet people from this forum, it has been a God-send!

Alrighty then, i understand what your question is about... the one thing about Vallarta now, it has become more and more ex-pat friendly over the years with Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Home Depot, etc... along with Soriana, Mega, Gigante, etc.. to add some of the old favorites too...
good luck to you and your family... have a great one...

even better
What I love about Wal Mart is that no matter where they are located they have a local section. Macadamia nuts and Tikis in Hawaii, scorpion paper weights in Arizona and trinkets and shot glasses in PV. The one in PV is huge and we found what ever we wanted plus the local specialities of fresh bread (especially the churros), fresh mangos, papayas and microdyn to wash them in.
However, once you become an expat, I'd imagine you'd find local places more suitable and build relationships with the small business owners.
Good luck with your move, it sounds great to me.
