susie margaret and puerto vallarta, mexico

by susiemargare - last update: Mar 29, 2006

hi, thanks for visiting! mexico is a wonderful place, and puerto vallarta is especially beautiful!

i am a 59-year-old single white woman, so all of my comments are from that perspective. i have been going to puerto vallarta almost annually since about 1990.

see my separate mexico page for general tips about traveling there.

it is perfectly OK to e-mail me at VT or at "susiemargaret@comcast.net"

if you find any information on this page that is inaccurate or outdated, please let me know.

 well said. after years of living here i can say this is pretty accurate about the downtown flea markets. most of the retail stores in town don't bargain, prices are generally fixed. vendors bargain at the open/municipal markets and on the beach.

 I love my week in Puerta Vallarta, or rather in a hotel outside. Next time I'd like to stay in the city itself. Your tips and local customs suggestion are very good. Thanks.

 Hi Susie, enjoyed your tips. I just returned from my 1st trip to MX- the Yucatan. I've been working on my pgs and am reading others to keep the "travel-feeling" going. Want to go the PV next--as soon as possible.
