August 2020: That's All, Folks!
I've officially retired and am hitting the beach! For now, it's a beach in Southern California, but we hope we'll be back enjoying Los Muertos Beach in PV soon!
Thanks for all your support and friendship through all the years we've shared our love for international travel!
Gracias y viajes seguros,
Mike

If you are headed South, my advice is to listen to Pam Thompson. Pam is the authority on health issues in Puerto Vallarta.
​Here’s Pam’s announcement of a new program she helped create:
 
Hello,
 
We have just finished up the final details on this traveler’s insurance program!
 
This is a Mexican policy so prices are in pesos but quotes will be in both pesos and USD.  MAPFRE is a well established Mexican (private) national insurance company.
 
The policy DOES cover Covid.
 
A big plus is that this policy has an exclusive contract with Hospital Joya Marina, Hospital Joya Riviera a Clinic Sanmare. Of course, I am always happy to assist when I can, but with this policy, I can be with you every single step of the way.
 
Remember: Traveler’s insurances do not cover pre-existing conditions.
 
“This insurance, which must be purchased before traveling, gives you the peace of mind of coming to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit right now, since medical coverage is offered for up to 350,000 USD. Among other things, it also includes emergency medical transportation, dental emergency, medications, repatriation for medical reasons, expenses for family members in case they have to accompany the patient, and hospital extension for up to 15 days. “ (Taken from some of the publicity). 
 
This insurance is designed for ages 0 to 75, although it can also be used by people aged 76 to 86 with a slight increase. Its price starts at 51 USD for 7 days, but the coverage can be extended to 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 days.
 
If you would like a quote, we need:
 
Complete names of traveler’s. Dates of birth of traveler’s. Dates of travel. Coming from where?  
Once I have this information, you will be introduced by email to an agent (Monica Thompson-Barrera), bilingual, independent agent.  She will continue at this point as your point of contact (although I am available for questions, concerns). 
 
Then, should you choose to purchase, Monica will need:
 
Copy of passport. The address of where you will be staying in Mexico. Your telephone contact. Payment via VISA or Mastercard but that information will only be taken over the phone.  
Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon. It is more important than ever to be covered with a good traveler’s insurance should you be coming to Vallarta this season. Details of the policy are below.
 
Regards,
Pam Thompson
