Yeah that’s the one. Get on down to La Palapa and Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so Puerto Vallarta mis amigos. Really. The people of Puerto Vallarta Await you. Venga mis amigos, Venga, Come my friends! Come! Today I have a really great guest to share with you but first, let’s look at what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, The 23rd of April, 2017. Well, the town is emptying out a little. The two week long celebration of Semana Santa and Pasqua have come to a close, and the crowds are subsiding a tad, but things are getting geared up for the May events. Restaurant week is coming up May 15th through the 2 with plenty of restaurants participation in the weeks events.

A couple of days ago I got an article from my Friend Mike in Puerto Vallarta from the Yucatan Times where, I know some of you are going to be disappointed when this finally happens here in Puerto Vallarta but the article reads. ..... The traffic light lottery utilized by Mexican Customs will soon be a quirk of the past, reports mexiconewsdaily.com. Changes intended to improve service to travelers include elimination of the traffic signals that randomly select people for a baggage search at Customs entry points. At present, travelers must press a button when passing through Customs, and those who get a green light are free to go. The unlucky minority who get a red have their bags searched. The changes will be implemented at Mexico City airport’s Terminal 2 as a pilot project and will include the elimination of Customs declarations forms that are completed by travelers coming from abroad. At airports, baggage will be inspected by x-ray scanners while in transit between planes and baggage carousels in coordination with the Federal Police. Following the pilot, the new system will be introduced gradually at Terminal 1 in Mexico City and at the international airports in Cancún, Los Cabos, Guadalajara and Monterrey, through which 85% of international travelers arrive in Mexico. Plans call for all international airports in Mexico, including Merida, to phase out the red light – green light system over time. Authorities say the new procedures, which are standard practice internationally, will make it simpler and safer for those travelers, for whom control and inspection measures will be imperceptible.

Also, the Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta Highway I was talking about last week, the one I thought would be done for Easter? Well, not sure what I was smoking last week, but that stretch of highway is at least another 6 months form completion so, what I said last week....never mind! I will bring you more updates as we approach December, the anticipated finish date but until then...Manana.K?
