That Traveling Couple

Ticking Off Puerto Vallarta’s Best Restaurants

Elysia and I started a fun little travel game recently when we decided to see if we could visit each of the top 20 restaurants in Puerto Vallarta according to TripAdvisor.com
As yet we’re only half way but it’s certainly lead us to some special spots and allowed us many a lasting memory. Here’s a short [...]

Fajita Republic In Vallarta: Verdict

After 3 months in Vallarta, Elysia and I are beginning to take our Mexican food sparingly. Having eaten so much of it we’ve tended to hunt out the other cuisine options of late, if for no other reason than to keep things interesting.
Fajita Republic was a restaurant just off Olas Altas at the very beginning [...]

Plaza Peninsula: Puerto Vallarta’s “Mall Mystery”

I really only wanted to write a post about this because trying to find the “Peninsula Mall” in Puerto Vallarta on a map was like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.
So first comment: Don’t look this place up on Google Maps. It seems to tell you that there are 2 locations, or better yet, [...]

Pancake House: Old Town Vallarta

I’m one of those people for whom breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I’d have no qualms eating breakfast meals (like eggs benedict) for either breakfast, lunch, OR dinner.

Nonetheless, the drive from San Sebastian Del Oeste, up the mountain to La Bufa (one of [...]

The ONLY Indian Restaurant In Puerto Vallarta

I don’t mean like, the only one worth going to, I mean… the only one period.
As you might have already seen, Elysia and I are freaks for Indian food. We’ve eaten Indian food from Manila to Montreal. We love it.
Because of this, we were disappointed to learn that in the whole of Puerto Vallarta, there [...]

The CN Tower Restaurant: A Tourist’s View

In an earlier entry, I wrote about the CN tower. I wrote that if you’re going to the CN tower, it’s either to do the tourist thing and see the exhibitions, or to hit the restaurant that sits at the tower’s top. This post is about that restaurant.
Where to start when discussing the CN Tower’s [...]

The CN Tower Experience

For some reason, alot of the local Torontonian’s we met during our stay in Toronto didn’t have much respect for the old CN Tower.
Though famous world wide, we constantly met locals seemingly ambivalent towards the poor tower. They either:
1. Had flat out never even been there.
2. Hadn’t been there in forever and had no desire [...]
