Subject: Puerto Vallarta: Goose, Golden Egg, etc. Posted on: 13 Mar 2006 10:41:41 CST

My wife and I just got back from PV where we encountered a new (to
us, after a 6 year absence) and annoying phenomenon.

Now, we've grown accustomed to encountering timeshare and excursion
salesmen camping out on street corners, in their little street-front
cubbyholes and even on the grounds of our own hotel (the Krystal has
its own timeshare operation) and know how to smile and keep on
walking.

But this time, we were accosted by salesmen operating as clerks and
such inside ordinary retail stores. After several such encounters, my
wife simply lost any interest in browsing or shopping anywhere.

Can downtown PV survive with nothing but timeshare outlets and
restaurants?

On the plus side, the restaurant selection in PV continues to be
absolutely outstanding.
