First Timer....need advice

Started June 7, 2004 · 8,378 views · 9 posts
My wife and I are going to PV next week (June 12-18) and staying at the Grand Nuevo Occidental. I have a few questions...
1) What advice can anyone give about the hotel? Best way to relax? What to avoid?
2) Would anyone suggest the barhopping bus? We like to have a good time but arent heavy drinkers. Is this for us?
3) Any other excursions/tours you would suggest? Not too expensive, though.
4) We have been to the Virgin Islands and Aruba. How does PV compare?

Thanks for any help.

I consider not leaving a tip. As long as you are in trouble, make it good. :-D I guess good help IS really hard to find. You would think after 30 years of being married to Kay, she would be able to get me a drink, HA! Got to get it myself even if it hard to get out of my favorite lawn chair.
Re:First Timer....need advice
thanks chuck . jen would really like that. no tip honey!! i think i would be wearing my corona. Do you wish i talk to Kay and maybe get her to appreciate you, and then you just might get a beer served . lol
