Adventure Travel Overseas

I Love The Coastal Communities Near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Someday we’ll be spending months at a time at one of the small communities near the coast with

easy access to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I’m hoping we’ll find something within about 1 hour

driving time for easy day trips back and forth. We don’t want to miss our annual Christmas dinner

with our friends at the Cafe Roma in Puerto Vallarta. That’s what Bucerias retirement is all about.

We’ve been up and down the coast the past few years. We keep seeing interesting places..Boca de

Tomatlan, Mismaloya,Punta Mita, Bucerias, Rincon Guayabitos…We’ve missed a few.

I saw a story recently, after returning from our last trip of course, about Sayulita to the north

of Puerto Vallarta about an hour away. Oh, there’s that magical hour limit of mine. On the list

to check out next trip. We’ve been close by several times, but never right at Sayulita. This is

apparently a wonderful funky little community that caters to surfers as well as all kinds of

regular visitors of course.

Mexican developers have a great opportunity, I think in building smaller retirement

accomodations, all along the coast, near Puerto Vallarta to cater to people like ourselves who

want affordable accomodation.

Creating small pod-like clusters of homes or buildings within these communities will allow

couples and families to retire in close proximity and socialize and help each but still feel

fully independent. I’m sure I got that pod term from the whale watching that’s available off the

coast in Mexico)

The Baby Boomers will flood this marketplace over the next 10 years. I’d just like to get in

ahead of the rest of them.

“Mexico beach vacations” is the most searched for combination of words in search engines related to

Mexico. The pace of life, the sun and the cerveza or margaritas are a great

combination for a short or long term vacation or winter stay.

So whether it’s for a longer term winter visit or just a great vacation, I’ll pass on my planning

tip. The high season is now over and owners would like some cash flow.

Decouple your air fare from your accomodations and go a la carte this time. Book now for next

year, pay a deposit and get the best deal on accomodations. Now you both have something to look

forward to. It’s works for us. Enjoy a Bucerias again..and again.
