Lodging

Puerto Vallarta 2013/2014. Hello Frontier scouts and employees. I am a new Scout and would like to offer my expertise about My second home PVR. I currently have a long term lease in a 2bd/2bth large apartment virtually on the beach in the centrally located Hotel Zone. I will be offering this for use this coming season. It is my personal unit that upon availability can be utilized by you as a single room (2 double beds and private bath) or entire unit. There are only three units in the building, mine being the penthouse, with unobstructed ocean views (only 100 yds from the water!) and mtn views. Private pool, patios, rooftop patio, and direct beach access. Cost is approximately $100 a nite per room adjusted down based on length of stay or what is used. I may also be able to supply airport transportation, jetski rental, and guided (by a local friend) personal tours and day trips. I also have access to luxury TimeShare units. Feel free to call me with any questions about Puerto Vallarta in general, or further info about this posting. **John Burkart 303 912-8386**

Hello Fellow Scouts, For those of you who are planning a trip to Costa Rica, I have friends in San Isidro who rent two cottages for the bargain price of $45 for the smaller unit and $65 for the larger. You can see the smaller unit posted at Homeaway.com #969365. James is American and his wife is Tico. They have two sons. Their cottages are lovely, and secure. They are a short walk to the bus stops, which have buses that run every 20 minutes or so, for .35 cents. No real need for a car, unless you care to explore. Even then, you can hire a taxi for a reasonable rate, to take you pretty much anywhere. I'd recommend Charlie, who speaks English, and is a great guy! There is the local ferria (market) every Thursday, that is a delight to attend. Fruits and vegetable like you've never seen! Great place to socialize with other Americans, Canadians, locals, etc. The town of San Isidro is about 15 minutes from the cottages. The cottages have access to the river(stream), where you can sit in the pools of water, sit on the rocks to read a book, or whatever is your fancy. The rush of the water will lull you to sleep at night. There are a variety of birds to feed and watch, as well. You can email James Peppard at james43michael@gmail.com for photos and more information.

I will soon be living directly across the river! Hope you'll look me up sometime. Bert DeForest
