Food Meets Travel: My Favorite Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta

Comments 0 Comment

I’ve recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and I have to admit I’m walking away impressed. I had heard great things about Puerto Vallarta but found myself thoroughly in love with this Pacific resort city. But on top of the perfect weather and beautiful Pacific views, there are countless fantastic restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll find everything from street corner food stands to chic beachside dining and everything in between. Thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations, Yelp, Google…

There’s a lot of travel search engines out there, each one seeking your attention. I recently explored a new one with the folks over at TripStreak. Overwhelmingly, most travelers are on the hunt for the lowest price. There’s no shortage of travel search engines out there that will offer to help out with that. But what else important to you when you are looking to book a flight?Do you want a flight with WiFi so you can catch up on work?…

Cathay Pacific is well renowned for it’s exceptional in-flight service and it’s short haul regional service is no exception! On a recent trip to Hong Kong, we took a side trip to Taipei, redeeming 36,000 Avios and roughly $70 in taxes for round-trip Business Class on Cathay Pacific for two of us.

After 36 hours in Finland, it was time to go home. I really enjoyed my short visit in Helsinki so I wasn’t quite ready to go. I had arrived quite early at the Helsinki Airport since I wanted some avgeek time, snapping photos and checking out the Finnair Lounge.  This was only my second flight on Finnair ever and my first one was just days before from Paris to Helsinki. This was an intra-European flight on an A321 in Economy. I…
