Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - There's always so much going on in Puerto Vallarta and around Banderas Bay, it can be difficult to keep up with it all.

Apple Vacations to Offer More Charter Flights to Vallarta


Apple Vacations announced Wednesday that the company is expanding its Exclusive Vacation Flight charter program in 2016 by adding several new departure gateways in order to increase service from the West Coast. Starting on May 1, Apple Vacations will launch its first-ever Exclusive Vacation Flight charters from San Francisco International Airport, Mineta San Jose International Airport and Orange County's John Wayne Airport. As one of the charter service leaders in the Mexican and Caribbean markets, Apple Vacations will offer non-stop charter service to Los Cabos from each new departure gateway, and charter flights to Puerto Vallarta out of San Francisco and Orange County. Apple Vacations is also expanding its charter service from Los Angeles International Airport to now include Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Costa Rica and Jamaica, on top of the existing flights to Cancun and Ixtapa.

Purr Project in Search of an Airline Angel


Purr Project is looking for another airline angel - but this time, for a puppy! This adorable little girl was rescued last month in the Marina where she had literally been thrown away. Today she is a healthy little one who has been adopted by a wonderful family with a 10 year dog who will be her big brother. All expenses are paid — all she needs is a travel companion so she can go under the seat to the Seattle airport where her new mom will pick her up. Any dates are good but the sooner the better... this new mom has been waiting patiently for her new fur baby! If you can you help, please email Marilyn Khan at exkhan(at)usfamily.net.Purr Project is a Non-Profit shelter in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that provides homeless cats and kittens a recuperative stay with the ultimate goal to adopt them out to loving homes. All of our residents have been sterilized, vaccinated and are disease free. We accomplish this through our own efforts as well as collaboratively with other animal welfare organizations. Both monetary donations as well as donations of dry cat food are most welcome – and much appreciated. Donations 501(c)(3) tax-deductible in the US. For more information, visit PurrProject.com or send an email to info(at)purrproject.com.
