3 Craig Zabransky May 10, 2011 at 12:50 am: @ Laurie, absolutely. Vallarta is often regarded as the top “foodie” city in Mexico outside the capital. Plus, there are some great restaurants on the list this year… a few of my Puerto Vallarta favorites.

@Isabella, I hope you get there too. Great food, great destination, great vacation.

stay adventurous, Craig
