In the steamy city of Puerto Vallarta, time shares rule. Nearly every hotel, restaurant and souvenir shop wants to sell you a slice of a beachfront condominium. And they're not easily discouraged.
We needed to escape the onslaught, but still wanted to enjoy the balmy pleasures of PV's Bahia de Banderas bay area. Luckily, there are plenty of quiet seaside villages nearby that offer refuge from the time-share storm. We walked through the streets of Viejo Vallarta until we spotted a crowd of locals waiting at an unmarked stop at the corner of Constitucion and Basilio Badillo. For $1, we boarded a bus bound for Mismaloya.
Pop-trivia hounds know that Mismaloya is where John Huston filmed his adaptation of the Tennessee Williams classic "The Night of the Iguana." Many might also recall that this was the backdrop for the torrid affair between co-stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Liz and Dick we're not, but we could order some tequila and aspire!
