A recent report shows an estimated 1.2 million retired Americans and Canadians are living in Mexico. In this edition of Banderas Beat, Laura continues her "Boomers in the Bay," series of reports by talking with the research team from the University of Texas in San Antonio that has interviewed over 400 retirees that have made the move to Mexico. She also shows us a group of local businesses and residents that are lending a hand in the Puerto Vallarta Summer Food Drive, which provides assistance to local families in need; and one local woman who is sending some of the 45,000 stray dogs in Puerto Vallarta packing.

As one of Mexico's premier beach resorts, Puerto Vallarta moves at such an invigorating pace that it can be difficult to stay on top of the non-stop action that's always unfolding around the Bay of Banderas.

Even the shortest of visits will open your eyes to the extraordinary number of things to see and do in Puerto Vallarta, so we've developed Banderas Beat, a monthly "INFOtainment" program that's not just for tourists - but for anyone with an interest in keeping their fingers on the pulse of the city.

Every month, Banderas News video journalist Laura Gelezunas will use her years of experience as an on-camera reporter in the U.S. along with her extensive knowledge of the Puerto Vallarta area to bring you informative and entertaining video reports covering everything from the hottest places to eat, drink and shop to information about Banderas Bay area attractions, events, and charitable organizations.

So, whether you're a first-time visitor looking for travel advice, inside tips and recommendations or a long-time resident that just wants to keep up with what's new, where it's at, and when it's happening in Puerto Vallarta - you'll find it on Banderas Beat.
