What should I pack when moving to Puerto Vallarta?
We asked people living in Puerto Vallarta to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"I wish I had brought modern a/c units with dehumidifiers built in, but electricity is outrageously priced and on a tier system," said another expat in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
"In response to the comment about the absence of quality cosmetics in Mexico, I suggest looking for No. 7 products. I have seen them in the pharmacy in old town and I believe La Comer carries the product as well," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
