I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico.   That music you were just listening to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, [caption id="attachment_2022" align="alignright" width="300"] Vista Grill on The Beach, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] The El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends!   Subscribe On iTunes & Leave a Good Review Subscribe on Android With Spreaker This week I have a really fun show. JR returns after an absence from the show and we are going to talk about street dogs and bugs, then I have two interviews from JR’s Meet and Greet at Kelly’s Pour Favor Saloon and Cookhouse.

Spring Break and Pascua in Puerto Vallarta Spring break continues here in Vallarta as Mexicans celebrate Pascua this week. The week following Easter Sunday is called Pascua, which is the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. Pascua marks the release from the sacrifices of Lent. So, your 40 days of giving up tequila shots is over, and you can return to your own old ways of drunkenness and debauchery. And if you are in Vallarta this week, things are settling down from last week’s crowds and party madness. Still very busy this week don’t get me wrong, just not anything like last week. Still party party party, just a great time to be in Puerto Vallarta. Taking UBER In Puerto Vallarta Last week I said I would talk to you about taking UBER in Vallarta. Thought I would give you my report about my experiences. First off, I didn’t go all out and hail an Uber the minute I got off the plane, but if you want to do that, you can. You have to get off airport property to be picked up, so you have to cross the bridge over highway 200 with all of your luggage in tow, but you can do it. It’s much cheaper, but do you want to schlep all your belongings out of the terminal, go up the steep ramp to the bridge, then down the equally steep side coming back? In the tropical heat after a long plane ride? Well, to each his or her own I guess.

The driver came almost instantly in a really nice white Nissan Seda
