Single, couple, family? It’s complicated

When did you move to Vallarta? 1999
What part of town do you live? Marina
Why did you decide to move? I knew in 1967 when I first came here that this is where I wanted to retire. I put that in my goal book and here I am.
Where else did you consider? Costa Rica and Thailand
What were your considerations? Weather, easy flights, lots of expats, lots of friends , easy walking community, modern conveniences like Walmart and Cosco
What was the main reason(s) you moved here? I always wanted to move here. She (PV) won my heart from the first hello.
Top 3 things you have learned that you think might help someone moving to Vallarta now
- Realize that you are a GUEST here and act polite and realize that there are cultural differences and respect their culture / and noise. This is their country first.
- Don’t ever expect anyone or construction to be on time or even show up.
- Manana does not mean tomorrow or morning, it just means “NOT TODAY.”
Patricia Hazelwood & Guy Hames interesting post. I tought this piece of news would be of interest: Allocated seating will be rolled out across easyJet’s network from November, with all passengers allocated a seat. Those wishing to change their seat will be charged £12 for front row and over-wing seats, £8 for berths in the four rows behind the front row, and £3 for anywhere else on the plane.
