We\u2019ll be hearing about it very soon. Then a visit with an old time Puerto Vallarta personality and restaurant owner who gave up the hustle and bustle of Vallarta many years ago to set up his restaurant which is named after him, Machi. Then we head down the hill to the beaches of Mayto to visit with Fernando at Hotel El Rinconcito. Fernando has a very cool story and a very cool hotelito. We\u2019ll meet Fernando and his family. We have Vallarta news and more so let\u2019s see what\u2019s happening this week in Puerto Vallarta, the 17th of April, 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>The Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta Highway Has Finally Opened<\/h3>\n<p>How many years have we been talking about this? Well, it was completed for the Semana Santa weekend, and the reviews are coming in hot and heavy. It\u2019s not cheap. Almost 1,500 pesos each way comes to $187 dollars US to get to Guadalajara a couple of hours faster. Now for two adults to take the Vallarta Plus Bus from Vallarta to Guadalajara round trip will cost you about the same.<\/p>\n<p>You can also fly from Vallarta to Guadalajara in about an hour for about $100 US round trip taking Viva Aerobus. So there\u2019s that as well.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10726\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10726\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Pats-Plates-Social.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pat&#8217;s Plates, Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Nayarit, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was looking at some video of folks driving on that new highway, and it looks like a constant game of chicken.

Actually, it was the week we were in Vallarta last time down beginning of February. It was the night of Tom Findlay\u2019s birthday in fact, and there was a security camera video from Bar Frida, where there\u2019s a customer who is outside the restaurant at the street side railing and he is sitting on a stool, viewing his cellphone, which is out in front of him, and then a motorcyclist comes driving up, and snatches the phone right out of his hands, and rides off, scary thing though, is that the phone was open and on, when the thief grabbed the phone too.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100084292765898%2Fvideos%2F716829850433081%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=419&amp;t=0\" width=\"419\" height=\"591\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There have been other instances of thieves on motorcycles snatching purses and bags off arms and shoulders of pedestrians, as well as off sidewalk tabletops. Also, the mustard and catsup squirting trick where a team of well-trained thieves squirt a package of that mustard or catsup on you when you aren\u2019t paying attention, then insist on helping you clean up, while picking your pocket or purse or backpack.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you protect yourselves from these bad guys and gals? Well, in the case of the mustard ketchup gang, you need to make sure these guys know you know what they are up to. You need to stop and tell everyone to get away from you. Loudly. Tell them no me toca\u2026.vete\u2026which means don\u2019t touch me, get out of here. Say it loudly and make sure others around you hear you too. Tell them you will call the police\u2026loudly. You don\u2019t have to use Spanish, say it in English if you need, but say it loudly and then get out of the area.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7905\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7905\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beware-of-The-Catsup-and-Mustard-on-the-Pants-Trick.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beware of The Catsup and Mustard on the Pants Trick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for the purse snatching while walking down the street, always carry your bag or your daypack square on your back or on the inside shoulder, towards the shops and away from the street to hinder the thief from plucking it off your shoulder as he or she drives by. Also avoid leaving your phone lying on a table while you eat. And as far as the phone being snatched from your hands by a passing cyclist, I\u2019d suggest something I ordered and purchased for my phone after I left it by mistake in an Uber. Remember the story? Well, I bought this item that allows you to attach a long strap to your cellphone. And you can attach the strap to your beltloop, so you can\u2019t leave the phone anywhere by accident, it\u2019s attached to you. And same if someone tries to snatch it out of your hands, they\u2019ll be totally surprised that it\u2019s attached to you as well.<\/p>\n<p>There are other scams of course happening around town of course. You need to be smart and aware of your surroundings in paradise, but these are the most common issues regarding safety and your important belongings.<\/p>\n<h3>Pesos to Dollars<\/h3>\n<p>Now, when last we talked I was referring to an email from a listener who was a bit dismayed about the cost of eating and drinking in Vallarta of late, and asked me for suggestions of what I do to make my eating and drinking experiences more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>So first we need to take a look at why we are feeling the pinch in Mexico. The very first thing you will notice before you even spend a dollar, or a peso in paradise, is that you get less pesos for your US dollar and your Canadian Dollarette than you did in the past. Here, I have an ATM receipt from April of 2021, and the exchange was 19.87 pesos to the dollar. Compare that to last July where I got 16 pesos to the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I sent some money to my friend Salvador, the Candyman on the Malecon. Salvador has a case of bronchitis and needed some pesos for a handheld nebulizer, and the MoneyGram was 16.4 pesos to the dollar. So right off the bat, at least in US dollars, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not that different in Canaian money, you are taking almost a 23% cut in the exchange rate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11060\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11060\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Exchange-Rate-Worries.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peso Strengthens Against the US Dollar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Where you used to be able to do the math in your head where 100 pesos equaled $5 US, today, that 100 pesos equals just 80 pesos today, and that 500 peso bill that used to represent about $25 US, is now 400 pesos. And by the way, don\u2019t make me tell you why your dollars and dollarettes are dropping in value. I\u2019ve been accused of being antigovernment, I mean, just check out my iTunes reviews,\u00a0 so I don\u2019t want to get a reputation you know.<\/p>\n<p>Then you have worldwide inflation caused by\u2026caused by\u2026don\u2019t make me tell you why we have worldwide inflation either, okay? Just go read those iTunes reviews\u2026okay? So, at least where I live, here in southern California, food, fuel, services, I\u2019m seeing about 30% higher costs overall in the Los Angeles area. So, in Mexico, I don\u2019t know what they are seeing, but it has to be like at least a 20% hike in goods and services as well. Plus, Vallarta is a tourist zone, and in the touristy areas, you will see even higher prices. So that\u2019s what\u2019s happening in Vallarta. That\u2019s why you are feeling the pinch.<\/p>\n<p>Also remember that to go out and eat right now in your hometown is no bargain.\u00a0 A Big Mac Meal in Los Angeles is $12 US or 198 pesos.<\/p>\n<p>An average price for a margarita in the Los Angeles Area is also between $12-15 or between 198 and 247 pesos.<\/p>\n<p>In Vallarta, you shouldn\u2019t be paying more than 125 pesos for a margarita by the way.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Have A Good Time and Spend Less in Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>So, what do we do when we come to Vallarta to save money, but still enjoy a good time?<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you some of our tips.<\/p>\n<p>First, never order anything unless you know the price of it. Treat the waiter like your taxi driver. You would never get into a cab without asking the price first, right? So, ask the waiter the price if it isn\u2019t\u00a0 written on the menu, and then you might ask them why they don\u2019t have the price of the item written in the menu. So don\u2019t assume, ask if it isn\u2019t written in the menu, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Now, remember that the cheapest meal of the day in Mexico is breakfast. You can still find breakfast for 100 pesos at a sit-down restaurant. So, eat a late breakfast and defer your lunch by eating a quick taco to fortify yourself until maybe an early happy hour. Find a happy hour with discount food. Another idea is to split an entre with your dining partner and split an appetizer and see how you do. We do this a lot. More times than not, the portions will be just fine. \u00a0I have a link to the Happy Hour Board in the show notes where you will find two for one specials, half price specials and dozens of new ideas of places all around town for you to find a shiny and new happy hour a day, or two if you are so inclined.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HappyHourBoard\">Happy Hour Board\u00a0 Puerto Vallarta Facebook Page<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can find them on Facebook or at \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/happyhourboard.com\/puerto-vallarta\">https:\/\/happyhourboard.com\/puerto-vallarta<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Gabby\u2019s Forced to Keep Noise Down<\/h3>\n<p>We had an incident in Vallarta that made Mexican National News last week, and I got a couple of emails and messages about this subject.

I had my very first surgery in my 64 years on the planet, and I needed to take some time off to recover and to get some business done, so I took a well deserved break, but I\u2019m ready to get going with a more regular podcasting schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the surgery was back in November, just before Thanksgiving I was doing a do-gooder thing, and paid unfortunately, the price for it. No good deed goes unpunished.<\/p>\n<p>Every year our Real Estate Brokerage puts on a big event where we work with our local food share food banks, and feed thousands of local families who are in need, by doling out turkey dinners, paid for by donations from agents, sponsors, and door knocking. We give out a frozen 15 pound or more turkey, a sack of potatoes, green beans and mushroom soup, a box of stuffing mix, and biscuits and cranberries. A big truck comes in the brokerage parking lot and we unpack the truck, and run the meals to the cars of the needy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I picked up something too heavy, and hurt myself. I didn\u2019t discover it right away, but later that night I felt something weird. \u00a0I had suffered a double hernia, and the doctor said that I had a bellybutton hernia as well.\u00a0 So, about 3 weeks ago they repaired my inguinal hernia, and\u00a0 the doctor did what is called robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery. This is where the surgeon sits at a screen and uses a joystick while this huge machine wreaks havoc inside your body.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the surgery was a success. It\u2019s now been 4 weeks of recovery and the doctor says I can lift weights, get back to my exercise routine and go back to everything normal. But that first week, it was hard. First, they put a breathing tube down your throat during the operation, and that irritated my throat pretty bad.\u00a0 I had a hard time speaking without sounding like a teenager for about a week. On top of that, the pain was pretty intense. They cut three holes under my ribcage for the robot, and one at the bellybutton for that little repair. Then they sent a camera, and two robot arms in, to lay down a mesh patch and then sew it all in. Hey, sounds weird but it\u2019s all good now. They even asked me if I would consent to having them film the procedure for teaching purposes. I figured they would have to do a perfect job if they were going to film it for medical students, so I said yes.<\/p>\n<p>And all better and ready for a trip to Vallarta in less than 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I have a lot to talk about, but let\u2019s get to our adventure and our interviews, shall we?<\/p>\n<h3>Salud Restaurante y Bar in El Tuito, Cabo Corrientes, Mexico<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12048\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12048\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12048\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/436669078_122139203228199616_6058878402827421206_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/436669078_122139203228199616_6058878402827421206_n.jpg 540w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/436669078_122139203228199616_6058878402827421206_n-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salud Restaurante y Bar in El Tuito<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My first trip to El Tuito and Mayto was back in 2018.

I take the bus all the way into the center of town, and the bus will make several stops as it heads into town, where the final stop is the Plaza. Then, you need to look\u00a0 for a taxi to drive you to the beach, down to Mayto. The trip should only cost you 600 pesos one way. Now once you have found your driver and agree on a price, 600 should suffice as I said,\u00a0 you should also make a <span style=\"font-size: 1.8rem;\">plan with the driver to come back and pick you up. So, you should know what time and date you want him to come back and pick you up, and make sure he\u2019s available to pick you up when you need him. And once that\u2019s settled, off you go down the sometimes-windy road down to the beach. The ride should take about 60 minutes, and the road has much improved since I first started taking it back in 2018, when there were many potholes and rivulets cut by rains. Today, the road is very nicely paved all the way down to the beach. Keep in mind a mini van style taxi is going to be able to carry a maximum of 4 people including luggage, so if you have a larger party, or if you are plus sized people, you may need two taxis. Double the pleasure and the price I\u2019m afraid.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6092\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6092\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n-1024x770.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n-399x300.jpg 399w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/67693898_364381200912353_8473734140137570304_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Debbie and Ray in Puerto Vallarta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But we went down to Mayto with our Canadian friends Debbie and Ray, who live in Pitillal.
