Im a native of Chile,Naturalize US Citizen,married with 3 children. Since 1995 we had taken one week a year to vacation in PVR, we loved Puerto Vallarta. My kids look forward every year to visit Mexico. Many time people tell me that I either look or talk like a mexican, my response to them everytime is ” I’m proud to be a Mexican” Mexico is a wonderful country with very welcoming people, your money goes a long way and you can eat good food…..and don’t get me wrong I love the USA,I love Chile. It’s kind wonderful to have 3 nations.

VIVA MEXICO!!

Gracias por los comentarios….. el lado mas amable e inteligente de los norteamericanos, el verdadero buen vecino, el americano que entiende y repeta con inteligencia. Que entiende que nuestros problemas son profundos, pero ajenos a los norteamericanos.

Saludos.

I live in So. Central Los Angeles. Several years ago (during the last “riots”), I was out watering the lawn and noticed a news helicopter kept orbiting a few blocks away. What’s going on, I thought. So I went in and turned on the news. To my surprise, “the whole city was in flames”. Sure, right. I live just 2 short blocks from where that poor truck driver got attacked. I shut off the TV and went back to my yard work.

The news isn’t about the news, at all. It’s about advertising revenue, only. Notice they never interupt a commercial, for “breaking news”?

Thank You!

Dammit, I’m tired of my fellow countrymen who are so frightened of things that they are afraid of travel. How do they function normally or are they just sheeple herded by the whip of fear that our government wields all too willingly?

Traveling for pleasure in Mexico and for business in Costa Rica has been a wonderful experience. Better than that, it has been life affirming with all of the wonderful people I have met and all that I have learned. While reading this some Tico friends called me to wish me a happy birthday – they will be staying with my spouse and I for a week this summer, enjoying Lollapalooza here in Chicago.

My wife and I just returned to the USA after renting a place in Puerto Vallarta for 6 months. This was our 5th time in PV and second season for a 6 month stay. We have already signed another 6 month agreement beginning in Oct. of this year.
We love Mexico and the people. We have never had one problem and we drive a vehicle all over the place. We drive from California, cross at Nogales and end up in PV. This year we saw more Police activity but this does not bother me at all. This just reinforces that they are serious about keeping people safe and protecting property in their country.
I love the USA it is my country but we also love Mexico as it has become our second home. We have made many friends and look forward to traveling there for many years to come. It is perfectly safe as long as you don’t do something stupid. It is exactly the same way in the USA. Do something stupid, get in trouble. Shame on you not the country you are in.
