Dear Mary Ann & Fred,
I am (still) up in Seattle, contemplating a move to Vallarta. One of the things that concerns me is the quality of the English-language education for elementary and high schoolers in the Vallarta area. Are you all familiar with the three main private schools in the Vallarta area? If not, do you know anyone that does? (I can communicate in fluid Spanish, if necessary.)
Thanks,
Thelma
LOL, I would love to know what to do when being pulled over……. and how to drive there. I am planning a visit by myself and leaving hubby at home with dogs and mother-in-law to look at PV Sayulita and Manzanillo. Looking to move there in the next 2 years. Not sure how I will get around once in PV but don’t want to rent a car and drive as I get lost easy and am not famiiar with the areas. First time there. Is the bus reliable? I am sure a taxi would be costly to check out different areas.
