Todd,

I just read through my notes from Vallarta Adventures. My question to them was how much would they charge from the PV Pier to their office (where you get "loaded" onto the army truck). Their reply was "you might as well book the tour with your cruise line, because that price includes transportation from/to the pier".

Their price was $65.00, and apparently there is an extra 10% off if you book online. RSSC's tour price was $75.00. You do make a stop at their office which from my calculations was about 5 minutes away...a very long walk. If you all hired cabs to get there, it may be about at least $5.00 one way. Of course if you get 4 people to a vehicle or 6 to a van, than may help economics, but my own personal feeling at that time was that the $10.00 of not having to do the extra cab flagging/bartering was worth it.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
