The idea of retiring to Puerto Vallarta started with a piece on 60 Minutes a few months ago which described the excellent health care in PV, and talked about the large number of Americans and Canadians who have settled there.

We love Mexico, and have been there several times, but we still haven't visited PV. We already had a trip planned to Isla Mujeres (a little island off Cancun). Before we left, we had the big snow storm

Isla Mujeres was great! Just what we needed after what seemed like an eternity of snow. This was the view from our room.
