    Hi Brian;
    I am from White Rock, BC and will be in Puerto Vallarta from January 4 – 30th staying in an apartment on Corona Street, just up from the Cheeky Monkey. I don’t know anyone at all in PV and am coming down on my own. I have only been in PV once (at the Secret’s all inclusive), but fell in love with PV – it reminds me of Hawaii some 40 years ago.
    Would like to hear back from you.
    Cheers, Jenny

    Hi Jenny, your instincts are good. PV is a marvelous place to live. Been here 11 years and only go back and see our children and grandkids on occasion. The people are wonderful here and it is safe. We have over 50,000 full time Americans and Canadians. Many are from the B.C. area like Langley & Vancouver & Maple Ridge etc. There are many activities to enjoy here.
