LIFE , FUN AND FAMILY- VIDEOS           

Bussing-

Linda & I just returned from a 10 day drive from Ajijic,  along the north shore of Lake Chapala to LaBarca, then onto the hwy. 15 Cota (Toll) road to Mexico City, then on to Puebla. A great city where we spent  3 days, then a short driving day to Veracruz for another 3 days.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has become one of the most popular tourist resort destinations in the world. Because Vallarta is located along the Mexican Riviera on the Pacific Ocean, a substantial portion of these tourists arrive by boat; the majority in large cruise ships, however many come in their private yachts.

There are so many exciting places to visit in the world. Many are better to visit than to live but that depends on your critera for a retirement or 2nd home location.

We have visited various parts of Mexico since the ‘70s and owned in Ajijic - Chapala since '96 and traveled more. In the late 70's a group of about 150 went out for a evening cruise and party off Acapulco. It turned out that over ½ got Montezuma's Revenge. That was the 70's. The next year we went to Cancun. No one got sick. And (touch wood) in all the years since, we have not nor have many of the hundreds of friends and acquaintances.

Do you remember the 1927 novel, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", which was about a couple of down-and-out Americans that joined up with a crusty old timer to prospect for gold in Mexico? It was later adapted into a film by John Huston in 1948, who returned to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 1964 to film "Night of the Iguana".

Where to retire?   Fun question!
