VACATION MARKET IN PUERTO VALLARTA AND RIVIERA NAYARIT
VACATION MARKET IN PUERTO VALLARTA AND RIVIERA NAYARIT
by Rodrigo Valenzuela at Ventana Magazine Puerto Vallarta and the Nayarit Rivera form the popular tourist destination best known as Vallarta. It is located at the Mexican Pacific beach of Bahia de Banderas, the third largest natural Mexican bay and one of the largest in Latin America. This bay is located between the south of Jalisco state and the north of Nayarit, the limits of this bay range from Cabo Corrientes (Jalisco) to Punta Mita (Nayarit). We can say that all of Vallarta holds the second place in touristic residence sales in Mexico after Cancun. During 2009, one thousand five hundred holiday households valued in more than $100,000 USD were sold, basically from domestic and foreign buyers.

Pre-Boomers Living It Up In Mexico
By Jim Scherrer,
First, let’s define Pre-Boomer; obviously it’s before Boomer! The Baby Boomer Generation is defined as those born after World War II; generally between the years of 1944 and 1964. Consequently, the oldest of the nearly 80 million US born Baby Boomers are just now turning 65 years old. The Pre-Boomer Generation is typically defined as those born during the 20 year period prior to the end of WW II or roughly from 1924 to 1944. There were approximately 50 million people born in the US during this time frame. These Pre-Boomers are considered to be of the Silent Generation (a bit of a misnomer!); sometimes referred to as the Luckiest Generation. Lucky because they were born immediately after the Great Depression, were too young to serve in World War II and probably the Korean War, and too old to serve in the Viet Nam War. Since 95% of these Pre-Boomers have already retired, they are also lucky to be reaping the benefits of Social Security and Medicare; benefits that may not be available to many of the younger generations. Unlike the Baby Boomers that have recently lost 25-50% of their life savings prior to retirement due to the current recession and mortgage crisis, the Pre-Boomers are lucky because in all probability, they were able to purchase their retirement residence and have conservatively invested the balance, thus preventing a serious depletion of their retirement savings (and they have fewer years to make their remaining savings last!).

What Makes Puerto Vallarta Quaint?
By Jim Scherrer
Quaint, as defined by Webster and others, means unusual or old fashioned in a pleasing way, with a charming old fashioned quality, or oddly picturesque. Some will say that Puerto Vallarta is a quaint or picturesque city due to the thousands of whitewashed villas, condos, and other buildings nestled among the Sierra Madre hillsides surrounding Banderas Bay along the Pacific Ocean coastline. Others might attribute the quaintness of Vallarta to the many nearby inlets and coves where the old fishing pangas are docked with their resident pelicans waiting for dinner or perhaps to the beach vendors selling their colorful blankets, sculptures, and artwork.
The Magnificent Sand Sculptures of Puerto Vallarta
By: Jim Scherrer Obviously, we were not the first to mold sand. Sand sculpting as an art form has been around for thousands of years; it is conjectured that the ancient Egyptians made sand models of the pyramids.
Retirement on the Mexican Riviera
By: Jim Scherrer
Riviera; the word alone tends to conjure pleasant images of beautiful scenery, of calm serenity or relaxation, even of Paradise. By definition, Riviera is an Italian term originally from the Middle Ages for the coast of Liguria. The two divisions of the original Riviera, both of which border the Ligurian Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean Sea, are the Italian Riviera and the French Riviera. Retirement on either Riviera would be wonderful if you have seriously deep pockets, don't mind the 10 hour transatlantic flight, and the possible language barrier when you're there! |
