garyrbeck - garyrbeck

garyrbeck I am Gary from San Francisco, CA. My first trip to mi Paraiso, AKA Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was in 1979 and my, how the place has changed, many aspects for the better. I enjoy OldTown/SouthSide the best but venture by car, jeep or van north and south to the small towns and beaches. The food/dining industry is in my blood and I have assembled a restaurant guide which I update nearly daily and is available by email. Comments, additions, corrections and suggestions are always welcome. Share your experiences with us all.

My visits are usually in Oct/Nov and Apr/May, each for 2-3 weeks. Friends gather regularly for cool drinks on Playa Los Muertos, side trips north and south or dining out. Let me know if you care to join us!

Anyone going to be in town in October or November? Post me privately and we can set [View Full Entry]
