Oct 3rd, 2009 at 2:00PM: A new Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is opening next month, so you may want to start planning immediately. On November 16, 2009, Nicklaus himself will hit the ceremonial first tee shot at the new Punta Mita Bahia golf course. This is the second of his courses at Punta Mita – he designed Punta Mita Pacifico, which opened in 1999. Both Bahia and Pacifico are part of the private Punta Mita ...

May 13th, 2009 at 4:00PM: Ready to get away from the unpredictable Spring weather? How about a nice 4 night trip to Nuevo Vallarta? Starting at just $409 (based off a Los Angeles departure, Chicago from $425), you'll fly to Puerto Vallarta, and stay at the 5 star Riu Nuevo-Vallarta all-inclusive resort. This place offers some serious "all-inclusiveness" - lets start with the coolest part; a 4 bottle liquor dispenser in ...

Mar 9th, 2009 at 6:00PM: I've always been a sucker for photographs that have strong colours and geometric patterns -- so it's not surprising that I'm drawn to this photograph taken by malaycobra and shared in our Gadling Flickr pool. According to malaycobra, this beautiful statue is "one of the many statues on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico." It's beautifully shot. If you've got some great travel shots you'd love ...

Spring Break is upon us, and for most college kids, March means two things: basketball and getting your color back on some tropical beach. When I think Mexico, I think drugs and girls gone wild, but there's something about Mexico that really draws a crowd in March and continues through the summer until late October. As Mexico continues to rank among the top spring break hot spots (this year ...

Jan 2nd, 2009 at 11:00AM: I was having a grand ole time surfing at Ala Moana Bowls the other day when a rude, disrespecting woman decided to paddle for a wave and proceeded to cut off three other surfers and nearly behead my friend. Growing ever more confrontational in my old age, I began to argue with the lady about her very inappropriate surf etiquette. Profanities were exchanged, I nearly spit in her face, and she ...

My first major trip on my own was when I was in the 12th grade. I had a summer job in Maine working at a kid's camp. Great way to learn how to water ski. My mode of transportation was a bus from New Paltz, New York to Augusta, Maine. Oh, the glory of the whoosh of the door before the bus pulled away from the bay. Freedom.

Sep 26th, 2007 at 4:58PM: I'm only in my 20s, but there have been a few places where the party-hard attitudes of locals and visitors alike have left me feeling more like 87 than 27. I like have fun as much as the next gal, but I'm not one to stay up drinking all night and into most of the next morning too. I need my rest, and plus, I am not good with hangovers. But nonetheless, I've been to a few excellent parties and made ...

It looks like this classified ad was cribbed from Jay Leno's Tonight Show (notice the NBC peacock in the bottom corner), but it's funny nonetheless. Apparently some heartless soul's girlfriend died and he didn't want to waste that extra plane ticket + accommodations in the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta. So not only did he actively search out someone to replace his dead girlfriend, but ...
