I hope all of you had a merry xmas and a great holiday.

Just wanted to say hello and wish everyone a happy new year.

The weather is great here in Puerto Vallarta (high 90s) but I sure do miss the bowl games.

Take care of yourselves.

Bartender, mas tequila por favor!!!

Have fun! Love Puerta Vallarta...........if you have time, talk to a local about the horse rides to the waterfalls. They boat you down to a small fishing village, drink some homemade Tequila, try to ride a horse up a dusty hill that comes out at a lush hillsides with palapas and beer! Its pretty cool! Can't beat the lobster tail in old town.

Cornhunka-

Where are you staying? Whatever you do....get out of the "NEW" part of town (that where most of the premiere Hotels are).......Old town has a lot of character and is a lot of fun. Couple of memorable bars I remember are "The Zoo" "Carlos O'Briens".......you will probably be inundadted with junket offers, take advantage of them if they offer free lunch and tickets to bullfight, etc. I wasn't a big fan of the bullfights.......thought it was pretty inhumane.......actually was rooting for the Bull to maul the guys with swords......:142smilie I can't remember the name of that Fishing Village (but it is south) and the whole cost was pretty reasonable (included all you could drink, horseback ride and the waterfall)......I was pretty drunk, and felt sorry for the skeleton horses, so I walked most of it, which wasn't easy as it was a good stretch uphill".........look into renting a jeep and driving into the jungle...that was pretty neat, but they had a lot of problems with the banditos robbing tourists, so we went in the middle of the day!..........Marlin fishing was pretty cheap (never caught one though).........I know there is a sportsbook there.....Caliente I think? Check out the pharmacias in old town (you can pretty much get whatever you want).....my ex, bought some cough syrup that was loaded with Codeine......she was coughing in the middle of the night, and when I woke up, she had drank 3/4 of the bottle:mj07: The next day was hilarious as she was stumbling around on the beach, running into crap, we had no idea that the codeine was in the bottle, wish I would've left her there:scared Some pretty neat stuff in old town, and from what I understand, you can get the best prices on you American currency in old town.......When I was there we saved 3 pesos on the dollar by converting it in Old Town. Fish Tacos can be bought at any Taco Stand, even at 3:00 a.m. which helps the hangover to fill your belly up. Restaurants in old town are cheaper, and better food! Have a ball! Stwoody

All the best Doc! Hope you are enjoying the sun and bikinis.

Make sure you check out one of the Donkey shows before you leave. Nothing says Happy New Year like that!! :mj07:

Seriously all the best for 2007!

I shit you not guys, there is a local paper here called the Puerto Vallarta Tribune.
Vallartatribune.com

I couldn't find it online but in the lobby of the condo where I am staying (parents bought it 10 years ago), there is this paper that has an article stating what I said above. I will take pictures when I get home to prove to you it wasn't the tequila!!

It's a family tradition to head down here around xmas time. The condo is located in "Nuevo Vallarta", this place has really grown in the last 10 years.

As mentioned above, the best clubs to visit are THE ZOO, CARLOS OBRIEN'S, CHRISTINE's, and the newest club which just opened last week THE X BAR.

The weather has been great (high 90s, no humidity and no clouds), pure sunshine.

Going to do some fishing tomorrow, hopefully I'll catch a big one.

For any of you who are planning on retiring soon, you may wish to check out Puerto Vallarta Mexico if you plan to head south (even for 6 months of the year). Condos are being put up at an astonishing rate.

Till next time...
