Puerto Vallarta, Go For The Food…

June 7, 2019 by Deanna Tousignant 4 Comments

Go for the food. Oh my goodness, go for the food. The food in Puerto Vallarta was consistently amazing. This was the first thing I ate after landing, lunch at the CasaMagna Marriott Resort (which has since been renamed to Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa) at their beachside restaurant, Las Casitas. For the location alone the meal was noteworthy. Las Casitas is open to … [Read more...]

The Beauty of Dia De Los Muertos, Year Round in Puerto Vallarta

July 17, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Back when I was working at the local arts council, my boss was a huge fan of Frida Kahlo. You couldn't help but notice it when you walked into our office, which was littered with cut-outs of Frida and her artwork, mixed in with pieces done by my artist boss-lady.

Here's a couple of things that I liked knowing going into this experience -- Dolphin Discovery is known as the world's number one company for swimming with … [Read more...]

How a Visit to Puerto Vallarta Helped This Mom Get Her Groove Back….

June 19, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Visiting Puerto Vallarta was an amazing, almost life changing, experience for me. There was no one defining ah-ha moment, but rather the sum of all of my experiences of those four days pooling together to produce one very happy lady. We packed a LOT into those few days. I stayed at a lovely resort, had a few memorable meals and ate consistently great food, swam with a pair … [Read more...]
