Packing List

by slaybelle

Given Puerto Vallarta's temperate climate, outdoor attire in Puerto Vallarta is an expression of individual freedom. In the morning, comfortable casual wear is suggested. At the beach, people wear bathing suits or caftans of processed cotton which are often painted or embroidered with designs. Cheerful and exotic hats are worn, sometimes with flowers in them. Also, shell and shellfish necklaces and earrings adorn the body. In town, Puerto Vallarta's nightlife entices us to wear our most eccentric and elegant clothing.

During the rainy season, late July to September/October, it rains cats and dogs. In other words a lot, so do bring umbrellas and other gear for rain. During the winter, October-February it can get rather cold in the mountains and higher altitudes (which includes Mexico City), so remember to bring a good sweater for the afternoons and winterclothes for the evenings.Good shoes for climbing the pyramids, and a scarf to cocer shoulders when entering the churches. They have really good and nice doctors in Mexico. Also good farmacies with every thing that you could need. I had a couple of vaccinations before I went there, but that was meant for travelling in general, and not only for Mexico. Ha - good camera, and lots of films. I found films rather expensive in Mexico, but had no problems finding a new battery for my camera even in a small town south of Mexico City.

Bring lots of bathing suits, sarongs, t-shirts. If you're going in July carry a small umbrella (for those unexpected sun showers). For evening, bring a mixture of casual and dressy. Don't forget your water socks and sandals. SUNBLOCK! Aloe Vera! Tampons (hey you never know)

when we go to mexico, we cannot take very much luggage. there is not really any reccommendations that i have for luggage, it just depends on what kind of trip you are going on. definatly bring lots of film. its a beautiful country, with lots of things to take pictures of. not to mention the cities are very different than cities that are in the united states. there are some great beaches in mexico. i have not been to them, but i have heard that they are great, and i know that it is true.

Gifts are cheap! Bring an extra EMPTY carry-on bag for all the gifts you'll buy Dress for summer! Shorts, tank-tops, sundresses, swimsuit. Sun tan lotion is very expensive here. They get the tourists on this one, bring the good stuff from home. Sunglasses and or a sun visor.

Carry bags that are easy to deal with. I hate rolling bags personally, but they might work for you. THey do get annoying, especially when you have cobblestone streets or uneven sidewalks. I'd suggest some form of backpack (hiking type) or bag that you can put on your back. I have a North Face bag that has shoulder straps. It worked nicely. Also, a smaller day pack (Da Kine Heli Pack, or regular backpack should do fine. Try to stay away from fanny-packs as they are easy to steal, and really scream 'tourist'. As far as clothing is concerned, that depends on when you travel to Mexico. Creel, in March, was cool, so a jacket would have been nice. Check the weather before you go.Shoes, either hiking or walking shoes/boots, sandals.Weather gear, a poncho of some sort, or rain coat would suffice. No one really uses umbrellas as far as I saw when it rained, and I didn't bother using rain gear...

Well, pack as light as possible. Family Travel Basically, I just wanted to say that there aren't any laundry facilities in town, so either bring some detergent (small Nalgene bottles are perfect for this) or bring some of that Dr. ______'s 18 in 1 soap stuff. The KOA may have laundry facilities, but it's a long walk.

Carry light. The weather is hot and humid. Forget your hairspray and face makeup. Get a great tan. But use lots of sunscreen. You'll need it. It's easy to get sun poisoning even for people that tan easy. Whatever your most compfortable in. I carried enough toilet paper for myself in case I needed a bathroom on tour. Not all places have toilet paper or they charge you for it. Anyhting for a $. Keep any equipment close to you. This is a hot market for resale. We were offered money for ours. The hotel ususally has towels in the hotel or on the beach. Some charge for on the beach, some don't. You'll have vendors walking up and down the beach at times trying to sell silver. They bargain with you too. Never pay regular price. They expect you to bargain.

This is Vallarta’s first cyber café, and hasalready turned it into the tourist/local popular hang-out. Quieter air-conditioned area, includingthe first VIP room for the serious-minded user. The staff isfriendly and knowledgeable, as the café also offers basicoffice-like services. The sandwiches are simple yet morethan great, but the apple pie usually steals the show. Arather active bulletin board has landed jobs and housingfor more than one, as well as good deals on the run.
