Top 3 things you have learned that you think might help someone moving to Vallarta now?
- Never underestimate a Mexican. They are very wise.

Glad to read someone is from Iowa. I grew up there a few centuries ago. 🙂 However, I really like people I meet that are from Iowa. So, Hello, Mary. I hope to meet you one day.
I intend to move there in July of this year. I hope to connect with some people beforehand, so I have someone famiiar to talk to when I get there.
Not sure what area I will want to live in. I will visit in early June and check it out. So, I am trying to get as much info as I can ahead of time.
Blessings,
Mahria Thompson
