I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. [caption id="attachment_2608" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Casa Isabel Mobile Fun![/caption] That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The [caption id="attachment_2021" align="alignright" width="300"] The Vista Grill, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week, I’m going to introduce you Isabel Manore, from the beautiful Casa Isabel, the big Yellow House on The Hill overlooking Puerto Vallarta, but first, let’s see what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 7th of March, 2018.   Corazon de Nina Garden Party and Silent Auction [caption id="attachment_2540" align="aligncenter" width="566"] Poster Corazon de Nina Garden Party[/caption] As I mentioned last week, my buddy Cecil sent me an invite to the Garden Party and silent auction called Artists for Orphans, and it will be this Sunday, March 11th from 2 to 5 in the afternoon at Hacienda de Carlotta 388 Lazaro Cardenas,  on the South Side of Puerto Vallarta. Tickets are only 500 pesos, that’s about $28.00 US, and there will be tapas, and other food, Piel Canela will be playing and it’s a great opportunity to meet some of the pillars of the community, some of the local folks, hobnob with some really fascinating people. You will even have a chance to meet Melissa Canez, the lady of the house at Corazon de Nina. It should be a fun time so if you are in town, it will be three hours well worth your time. Meet new people. Party like a local! Sounds like fun. Don’t miss it. You can buy tickets at Cassandra Shaw Jewelry, 276 Basillo Badillo and Corazon de Nina Thrift Store, Bay 8 in the Marina. Thanks Cecil, for the volunteer work you do at Corazon de Nina. One of these days, I’m gonna get you on the show, so look out Cecil! Thanks again buddy! Fundraiser for Parque de Azulejos Nancy Page, my buddy at Tile Park PV, Parque de los Azulejos sent me info regarding a fundraiser for that project that I am just so excited about, Natasha Moraga’s bid to tile Lazaro Cardenas Park. They too are having a fundraiser, it’s a live auction, it’s a silent auction, it’s a benefit for this great cause at Mantamar Beach Club, Bar and Grill, Wednesday, March 21st starting at 7:30, there is a VIP reception starting at 6:30, and if you want to be a VIP, contact them. There will be entertainment by Amy Armstrong, Geo y Luis, Hedda Lettuce, Kim Kuzma, Miss Conception and others. [caption id="attachment_2568" align="aligncenter" width="552"] El Parque de Los Azulejos[/caption] Tickets are available at their table at the Olas Altas Farmers Market, or go to their website at info@tileparkpv.com. I have pictures of the progress that they have made at the park, and it looks amazing. I even purchased a tile last time I was in town, so if you can make it to the event, and you are in town the 21st of March, go. If you can’t make it to the event, make sure you take some time while you are in town to stop by the table set up in the park, and visit with Nancy Page, leave her a donation, buy a tile, sign up for a workshop. Just help, and at the same time, make your mark, in the park, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Here’s an event you won’t want to miss, it’s the  National Championship of Stand-Up Paddle and Paddleboard 2018 The article in Visitvallarta.com, that’s the Puerto Vallarta Department of Tourism Website, it reads… 2018 Stand-Up Paddle and Paddleboard national championship will be held next March 14th – 18th in Camarones Beach and Quimixto. It will be organized by Jalisco’s Surfing Association of and will be endorsed by The Mexican Surfing Federation.  Tournament winners will be striving for a place at the national pre-selection toward the World Association Surfing Championship and the Pan American Games both to be held at the end of 2018 in Lima, Peru. Learn more about this new sport and support the athletes at the opening ceremony joining the parade in which the teams will depart from the seahorse to the arches of the Malecón. For more information please visit  www.facebook.com/ASEJSURF Who knew. Stand Up paddle boarding is a sport? Humm rates up there with I don’t know…singing in the shower?  Whatever. What Can You Do in Puerto Vallarta in a Day? I had a coworker come up to me the other day and she says, I understand you know a lot about Puerto Vallarta. I’m going to be arriving there Tuesday on a cruise ship. What should I do? Well, that got me thinking about the first show where I promised I would do an episode for the one-day visitors. Those of you who are coming to Puerto Vallarta for a few hours. So, I put on my thinking cap, and I planned out a day for her and her traveling companions on the ship. And I’ll wait for her to come home in a couple of days and see what they did and how they liked it. Then, I’ll do a show dedicated to a one day visit to paradise with all sorts of options, and degrees of physical abilities. I’m going to have a great time bringing that to you in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that.

The Yellow House on The Hill All right, let’s get to the show and to our interview. [caption id="attachment_2573" align="aligncenter" width="981"] Casa Isabel, Puerto Vallarta, México[/caption] If you stand on Los Muertos Beach and look up at the beautiful homes and condos in the hills overlooking the southside of Puerto Vallarta, you will notice a beautiful, multi-tiered yellow Villa. That yellow house is Casa Isabel. Isabel Manroe is the owner. She is a beautiful woman, always with a lovely smile. Always, with a broad rimmed hat, her trademark. You can see Isabel around town in her special car which looks like a taxi, always, surrounded and attended to by her doting companions. Her Mexican Family. The people who run Casa Isabel. I’ve seen these men in action, her family, and they care for Isabel so much. And she, for them, as you will hear. [caption id="attachment_2572" align="aligncenter" width="836"] Casa Isabel, Puerto Vallarta, México[/caption] I had just returned from my day trip to El Tuito and Mayto, when I got a text from JR, who asked if I could meet him at Casa Isabel for drinks and maybe an opportunity to interview Isabel, who was having dinner with friends at her restaurant. So, I told him to meet me at Kelly’s Pour Favor, and we would take a cab up the hill to Casa Isabel. [caption id="attachment_2574" align="alignleft" width="397"] Isabel Manore, of Casa Isabel[/caption] So I showered and grabbed my recording equipment, and headed out the door down to Kelly’s, then JR and I in the the cab to Casa Isabel. It was funny and I’m just remembering this, but on the steep road up to the Casa, we came nose to nose with a propane gas truck who was backing up the hill. This was a really steep hill and I gotta tell you, that guy backed the truck up that hill like a champ. Even the taxi driver was impressed. We were greeted by the staff who opened our doors and welcomed us to Casa Isabel and ushered us upstairs. Casa Isabel is a beautiful place. You need to be able to do stairs. The restaurant and bar area have stunning views of the city, the bay and the mountains. You can see, if you time it right, around 9:30 every night, and I did see, the firework show off the Marigalante down on the Malecon from there.   So, if you are sitting eating dinner at one of the linen covered tables on the rail, with that great view, or sitting at the bar, sipping on an adult beverage. You can get that show. Albeit short, a great unforgettable sight. [caption id="attachment_2584" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Fireworks From the Bar at Casa Isabel[/caption] The place is multi leveled, like I said, with rooms that Isabel will describe to us soon, but these rooms have the same remarkable views of the city, as the restaurant. There is a pool, a hot tub, or two. I have pictures. [caption id="attachment_2585" align="alignleft" width="300"] Infinity Spa Overlooking Puerto Vallarta at Casa Isabel[/caption] I also have pictures for you to look at in the show notes of the firework show as seen from the bar, where I was sitting with JR waiting for Isabel, to excuse herself from her friends, take herself away from her fabulous meal, and she came over, and sat down, and we had a talk, about her Toy Box as she calls it. About the place where she lives, The Yellow House on the hill, Casa Isabel, lets meet Isabel Manore.

[caption id="attachment_2600" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Casa Isabel Room 7[/caption] Always with a smile on her lips, always with that trademark hat. And you know what, Isabel has that way about her. And when you and she are talking, she makes you feel like you are the only person in the room.

Subscribe on iTunes & Leave a Good Review     Listen to The Podcast   Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be to introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into The Vista Grill. That’s The Vista Grill that used to be up on the hill overlooking the city?  Well now it has a new vista and that is right on the beach where you get the same Vista Grill Menu, and the fantastic Vista Grill service and it’s right there on the beach with a dramatic view of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course at La Palapa you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. ! It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! Today we have a special show but first, what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 22nd of August, 2017. The Ocean Grill Closed Down By Authorities Last week I talked about taking a hike from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas Beach. Remember? And in that podcast we talked about the famous Ocean Grill built into the cliffs at Colomitos Cove. Well, if latest my podcast has spurred you to give the Ocean Grill a try, hold everything boys and girls, stop the presses, the restaurant has been temporarily shut down by the authorities. Mexico’s equivalent of the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, has put an end to their operation. There are lots of stories swirling around, I have a link to an article written about the closure which you can find in the show notes of this podcast. Hey, listen, I have some information from pretty solid sources as  to what's going on, but for now, I just want you to know that if you currently have a reservation for the Ocean Grill, it will not be honored. They won’t send a panga to Boca de Tomatlan to pick you up and whisk you to Colomitos Cove and the Ocean Grill. They are shuttered at least until further notice.  http://www.elsoldenayarit.mx/cultura/54509-clausura-profepa-obras-e-instalaciones-del-complejo-turistico-ocean-grill-en-jalisco Upcoming Hotel and Resort Reviews One of my friends, Pamela, who lives in Lake Chapala just spent some time at the Garza Blanca Resort just south of Puerto Vallarta and I want to find out what she and her husband thought of the place. But more than that, Pamela is going to talk a little about her timeshares she owns and about the properties in Puerto Vallarta and along the Bajia de Banderas. I would consider Pam to be a luxury traveler. You remember, in the first episode I promised that this show was for the economy as well as the luxury traveler, well this episode will be for you. Imagine if you will, living just 6 hours’ drive from Puerto Vallarta like Pamela, that’s like me driving from LA to San Francisco. Well, that’s what Pamela needs to do to get to Puerto Vallarta. Pretty cool, right? How often would you hit PV a year if you could just hop in the car and drive there? What like, once a month? Well Pamela knows lots of great restaurants all along the bay, and more so stay tuned. Man killed by Crocodile in Ameca River, Puerto Vallarta Remember when me and JR talked about the crocodiles that live in Puerto Vallarta? Well, check out this article from yesterday’s Vallarta Daily.com.. The State Civil Protection and Fire Department of Jalisco confirms that a man in Puerto Vallarta was attacked by a crocodile in the Ameca River while fishing and was found dead. The man was identified as Gerardo Alvarez, 30, Corporal with the 41 Military Zone, who at the time was fishing in the river, located in the municipality of Puerto Vallarta. The report was received on Saturday when the search for the missing man began in the river, but the search was discontinued in the evening. Sunday morning the search was continued at 8:00 AM with the body being recovered at 9:44 AM in the Bay. The exact cause of death and injuries is still being investigated, however experts in crocodiles believe the man was fishing along the banks of the river with his feet inside the water. The crocodile, defending his territory, grabbed the man by his feet and dragged him into the river. The body showed signs of bites from the attack. Okay, so the Ameca river is the river that separates the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. It’s just north of the airport. You can see the crockodiles sometimes just lying there on the sandbars as you drive over the bridge, and there’s signs posted everywhere so heed the warning signs folks. Now crocodiles are actually seen regularly in the Marina, on golf courses. They are around so be aware. I have a link to the article in the show notes to this episode so check it out if you wish. https://www.vallartadaily.com/news/puerto-vallarta/crocodile-attack/   I received a couple of notes and letters and one great review on iTunes this week. The iTunes review is from Leaningoak from somewhere in the USA writes…. Excellent listen for travelers to paradise aka Puerto Vallarta in iTunes by Leaningoak from USA on August 14, 2017 Listening to Barry’s podcast has become very addictive. Before my last trip to paradise aka Puerto Vallarta earlier this year I discovered this absolutely essential listen for travelers to Mexico’s most popular tourist destination. And since returning home I continue to listen each week carefully noting travel tips for my next vacation. I would love to meet Barry in person but for now the world has this excellent podcast to keep us up to date and informed. The podcast has introduced us to J.R. of VallartaInfo.com who has lived in Puerto Vallarta for almost 40 years. We have gotten to hear from full time resident and restaurant reviewer Gary Beck. And then there’s an episode with Gary Thompson, owner of Galeria Pacifico, who graciously donates his time to do free walking tours along the Malecon. All excellent listening and soo much more. Thank you Barry for PuertoVallartaTravelShow.com and your podcasts! Thank you Leaning. I would love to meet with you too sometime in paradise. Let me know the next time you’re planning on coming down and if I’m in town, why not? Last time I was in town I had a meet and greet open mic event at Kelly’s Pour Favor Saloon and Cookhouse and we had a pretty good showing, problem was, some of my interviewees were a little bit sloshed. I mean, some of the interviews were actually pretty good, and I have some of those coming in the next few weeks to come, but man, I listened to some of the interviews and I just can’t use a whole bunch of them. I mean… well, it is a family show. Plus, I’m just not quick enough with the beeper to keep us rated as clean in iTunes. Just saying. Anyway Leaning Oak, we need to have a beer or a Paloma. Oh, I gotta tell you about Palomas but before I get off the subject, I just want you know Leaningoak from the USA, that these reviews keep me going. So Thanks by all means, all of you, and keep them coming in. Please. Okay, back to Palomas. In the interview I had with Jeff Bassett from Sun Sport Travel, Two weeks ago, oh by the way, Jeff wanted me to let all of [caption id="attachment_1384" align="alignright" width="300"] Amy Armstrong, The Palm Cabaret[/caption] you know that he is now full time in the travel agency business, so check out the links again to Sun Sport Travel on my links page. Anyhoo we talked with Jeff about fun in the summer sun.  Jeff and I were going back and forth about Palomas, Jeff saying that he was told that the true margarita was a Paloma, made with tequila, lime and squirt, and I laughed at him. Well, I got an email from my buddy Skip, from Minnisocold, we and Skip says this…. Like Jeff, I like the Paloma (Dove) as opposed to the Margarita (Daisy).  Palomas are less sweet and syrupy to my palate and I like the grapefruit taste. I make them with 4 parts Tequila, 1 part Lime Juice and add ice and either Squirt (Grapefruit soda) or Fresca (the sugar free stuff) to taste. Now I had to look up The Daisy and it’s made as  follows… INGREDIENTS 45mls of tequila 15mls triple sec [caption id="attachment_1363" align="alignright" width="198"] Incanto Puerto Vallarta[/caption] 30mls lime juice 15mls sugar syrup 15mls lemon juice 5mls orange juice Guava soda water   All right then, Who knew, but here’s how I was always taught a margarita was made. [caption id="attachment_1365" align="alignright" width="198"] Incanto Puerto Vallarta[/caption] Ingredients Lime wedge, plus 2 lime wheels for garnish 1 tablespoon coarse salt, for glass rims 4 ounces high quality blanco tequila (see note above) 2 ounces Cointreau 1 1/2 ounces fresh juice from 2 limes Directions Run lime wedge around the outer rims of two rocks glasses and dip rims in salt. Set aside. In cocktail shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds (the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over). Fill glasses with fresh ice and strain margarita into both glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and serve. I really like Skip, He’s my kind of guy. We’ve been emailing back and forth. He wanted to know the best places to buy alcohol in PV and maybe in an upcoming episode, I’ll give you all the great tips for stocking up on alcohol for your extended stay in paradise. I mean, what kind of fun do you expect to have if your liver isn’t properly pickled in Paradise Pal? Really! [caption id="attachment_149" align="aligncenter" width="705"] The Puerto Vallarta Restaurant Guide With Author Gary Beck[/caption]   Puerto Vallarta Entertainment Venues [caption id="attachment_1346" align="alignleft" width="300"] Act II Stages[/caption]   Okay Let’s get to the show, Back in February I had a great conversation with Gary Beck, the author of The Puerto Vallarta Restaurant Guide, and we talked all about the restaurant scene in Puerto Vallarta. Gary is a wealth of knowledge and I asked to let me interview him again so we could talk about the entertainment scene in Puerto Vallarta.     So we sat down back in May and talked about the different venues as well as the shows from the previous year. One of the busiest places we [caption id="attachment_1366" align="alignright" width="340"] Danny Mininni[/caption] talked about was Act II Stages and The Red room cabaret, and I thought before we get into the conversation with Gary, I would bring on Danny Mininni, the head honcho at Act II to talk about what’s in store for the rest of the summer season. So let’s go to Puerto Vallarta and talk with Danny… [caption id="attachment_1362" align="alignnone" width="692"] Supermana[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1361" align="alignright" width="691"] Christine Deaver[/caption] Listen to The Interview   [caption id="attachment_1364" align="alignleft" width="213"] Salvatore Rodriguez[/caption] Also, before we get into Gary’s interview I want to introduce you to Salvatore Rodriguez. Salvatore is a Pianista. A pianist with a career spanning 38 years, and one of his claims to fame is that he is a Liberace Impersonator. Salvatore performs at Incanto at the piano bar playing for the breakfast and lunch crowd. But this week, if you happen to be in town, Salvatore will be playing at Incanto, August the 31st.  Here’s Salvatore explaining how he earned his stage name. … Listen to The Interview I like Salvatore a lot, and when I get back to Vallarta in a few weeks, I’m going to do an entire segment on this wonderful man.
