There are two ways to do the land trips.
1. You can do the vacation stretchers with Olivia
OR
2. You can go b/4 and stay afterwards on your own.
I prefer to go a few days b/4 the trip, and stay a few days afterwards. I prefer to stay not at the resort, I stay in town.
Staying in Puerta Vallarta: One can choose from Old Town or in the newer part of PV. I like the old part (Romantic Zone), a bit more of a rustic nature, and the hotels, or the boutique hotels are just as nice as in new town. Plus many of them are less expensive than in new town and all are less than the resort.
Many travelers arrive b/4 and stay afterwards, thus we try to meet up at a bar/eating spot and do some things together. Another spot that some like to gather is down at the Blue Chairs Hotel, it is the gay hotel that sits on the beach in the southern part of the Romantic Zone known as the Olas Altas zone. It is mostly guys, and womyn do gather there. No diff. all are welcome and it is a beach that is for US to be free.
