That will be a long travel day, as usual. My wife drops me off in downtown Los Angeles in a graffiti crusted dark alleyway surrounded by homeless in tents at around 12:30 in the morning. Then 3 hours to the border. So I\u2019m at the Tijuana Airport by 3:30 for a 8:30 flight which lands 2 and a half hours later in Vallarta. Add 2 hours for a time difference between LA and PV, and I get to Vallarta by 1:30 in the afternoon. So it\u2019s brutal. I try to sleep on the plane and on the bus, but it\u2019s not always that easy.

Some 350 national guard troops were flown in on Saturday to reinforce thousands of federal troops already in the state of Baja California, daily Reforma reported on its website.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Simultaneous hijackings occurred in four other cities in Baja and authorities arrested at least 17 people, Milenio TV reported. Tijuana is home to the San Ysidro-El Chaparral ports of entry, the busiest US border crossing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The disruptions in Tijuana follow attacks against businesses and civilians further along the border in Ciudad Juarez and the central state of Guanajuato the past week. The wave of violence now spreading to key manufacturing corridors is a major challenge to President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador\u2019s security strategy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While so-called \u201cnarco blockades\u201d have become common in states like Guerrero and Michoacan, where the Jalisco New Generation Cartel pioneered attacks on civilians over the past few years, this was the first time such tactics had been widely deployed in the major border city of Tijuana, said Vanda Felbab-Brown, an organized crime expert at Brookings Institution.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>An escalating battle between Jalisco and the Sinaloa Cartel for control in the region could jeopardize new foreign investment, she said.

I have received a few responses and offers and even money form a friend of JR since I posted last week\u2019s episode. But I\u2019ll heed JR\u2019s wishes for me to hold off on that donation page\u2026.for now\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Buy a tour okay?

I had asked you what you thought, does Craig\u2019s story belong on my sleepy little travel podcast, or is it too racy and not appropriate material for the podcast? Allen Writes\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>Hola Barry,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, I am very grateful for all the work you put into your wonderful podcast. Thank you for everything you do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On your latest podcast, you told us about an interesting series of events that Craig might be able to tell us about his story.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I think it would be a very good thing for all of us to hear Craig&#8217;s story.\u00a0\u00a0 There are many hidden dark people, places, and dangers in PV that are unknown to most of us.\u00a0 Most of us probably get lulled into a false sense of security when in PV, because nothing of significance has ever put most of us in grave danger.

I\u2019ve been in touch with Craig this week and will be talking with him while I\u2019m in Mexico. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>Also another email from listener Heather who just returned from her first trip to Puerto Vallarta.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to what this couple did\u2026.remember\u2026first time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Subject: Loved our first trip to PV!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Message Body:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I started listening to your show a couple months prior to going to Puerto Vallarta. My partner and I went the end of June early July and we had an amazing time.\u00a0\u00a0 We checked out some of your suggestions and I wanted to tell you about a couple things that we did that you might want to explore further on your show. I haven\u2019t listen to all of your shows so maybe you\u2019ve already talked about this. One of the things we did was to visit the Mamma\u00a0 Lucia tequila distillery. I forget what road it\u2019s on but it was on our way to towards Boca. It\u2019s a family owned business and the young man who gave the presentation was very informative, friendly, and a lot of fun. We got to taste all sorts of different tequilas and he didn\u2019t pressure us to buy anything,\u00a0 it we did because their tequila is awesome!\u00a0 He then recommended a really cool restaurant\u00a0 up the hill\u00a0 called Tony La Choza. It was and his little village area. We never would\u2019ve found it has he not recommended it. It was kind of a house tucked away\u00a0 in the hills but it was charming with white tablecloths and all. The menu was a platter of fresh seafood and meat and you got to choose your meal by looking at that platter of fresh food. Their food, service, and ambience was excellent! There were three of us dining there and the drinks and all three meals I think it was like $60 plus a tip.\u00a0 We stayed in the romantic zone and a couple restaurants that we really enjoyed were margarita grill and Cafe San Angel. We didn\u2019t have any bad meals, every restaurant we went to had really tasty food. We also like Ophelia\u2019s Wine Bar. We use Eric, the Uber driver that you interviewed a while back. He picked us up from the airport and stopped at a grocery store for us on the way to our VRBO. He was super nice and informative. We Ubered everywhere, sometimes with Erik and sometimes not. We also hired a private Panga to take us all around the bay. We stopped to snorkel a couple times and snorkeling at the Arcos was phenomenal! They also took us to Yalepa for lunch. If anybody wants his contact information, let me know. All in all we want to go back and are thinking about possibly retiring there. Your travel show helped a lot in planning our vacation, so I wanted to say thanks.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Adios, Heather<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much Heather. Heather proves that with proper planning you can make the most of a visit, a first time visit to a city or town. It takes planning and a willingness to get out of your comfort zone and be adventurous. You will have a great time like Heather and her partner did.<\/p>\n<p>Good for you Heather. Thanks for listening and for sharing those experiences and places with us. I&#8217;ve hears of Tony&#8217;s La Chosa in Mismaloya and that tequila tour there as well. I think\u00a0 need to get over there and see Tony. He&#8217;s been there a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how it\u2019s done. That\u2019s how you play the game. Thanks so much for your email Heather!<\/p>\n<p>I promised I would talk about Mexico\u2019s problems with the US and Canada, but I\u2019m going to wait till next week to talk about those, let\u2019s get to our interview shall we?<\/p>\n<p>I met my next guests through my buddy Polly. You\u2019ve heard Polly\u2019s story on the podcast and as you know, she\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<h3>The Joan Houston Show Starring Joan Houston and Bob Bruneau in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Where: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incantovallarta.com\/\">Incanto Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>When: Friday Evenings 5:00 pm\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1660519129191!6m8!1m7!1stB_Is1ykPvL8hOIeLNcB8A!2m2!1d20.60538658420415!2d-105.2342737321105!3f57.75981819504952!4f-4.542139799061857!5f0.7820865974627469\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10352\" style=\"width: 818px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10352\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n-818x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n-1227x1536.jpg 1227w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/297346263_764975944848168_3273462113354001445_n.jpg 1319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joan Houston and Bob Bruneau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Joan Houston I had already met and her friend Bob Bruneau I met at a rooftop party in the Cinco de Diciembre neighborhood, at Joan\u2019s house overlooking the town and the bay.<\/p>\n<p>There were a bunch of Joan\u2019s friends from Seattle and the Seattle area either living in Vallarta, or visiting from there.
