I’m a pata salada

Tavel with splashes of Anti-Government Tangents

If it wasn’t for Barry sprinkling in his displeasure with the Government, pandemic lock downs and vaccines, the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show would rate a solid 5 stars. It’s cringeworthy everything he goes off on either one of these subjects. These topics add nothing to the Puerto Vallarta experience, they only distract from his goal of showcasing Puerto Vallarta. Please return to cheerleading PV without political bias.

Fantastic!

What a wonderful show Barry brings us about Puerto Vallarta! He is a pleasure to listen to and quite funny. I have learned a lot about the area, the show offers a lot of value and I appreciate the dedication Barry has given to it
