It has been quite some time since we last visited. In fact, we were last in the Pacific coastal town during our very first retirement winter! We were a little slow in getting our plans ironed out as we stopped working in October 2014. We left Vancouver on US Thanksgiving Day and returned home on April 24, 2015. That means we are nearing eight and a half years since we last strolled its most popular beach.
I couldn't resist including some pictures from those days. Puerto Vallarta was an excellent start to our retired life. We now make sure we stay someplace sunny and warm for four or five months every year.
