All the best to Anastacia and glad she's improving
I hate to be pessimistic but I'm inclined to agree with bib.
However I hope Anastacia continues in recovery & I wish her the very best for the future.

CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Keane has served as the LA Galaxy captain for two seasons and according to the Irishman that will not change with this summer's arrival of Steven Gerrard.
The Galaxy signed the longtime England international this summer after he had spent nearly two decades with English giants Liverpool -- 10 of which were as captain. Keane, a teammate of Gerrard's at Liverpool from 2008-09, noted during his first training session with the Galaxy this year, that he'd be open to the Englishman serving as his vice-captain when he arrives in July.
"That's up to Bruce. If Bruce is happy with him enough to be vice-captain than no problem, but we have Omar here as well," said Keane. "I think that Stevie just wants to come here play and enjoy his football. We're not worried about that kind of stuff. This is a new challenge for him and completely different from what he's used to, but as I said, he's looking forward to it.
"I'm sure that when he comes in, he'll settle in quickly Good players settle quickly."
CARSON, Calif. -- Fourth-year midfielder Rafael Garcia is returning to the LA Galaxy.
Head coach and general manager Bruce Arena confirmed on Monday morning that the team has signed Garcia who had his contract option declined after the 2014 season. Garcia, a 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft selection, has spent three years with the club and spent the entirety of 2014 with the club's USL PRO affiliate LA Galaxy II. The club later announced the signing officially during the afternoon.
Garcia has made 11 appearances for the first team in his third year tenure while making 23 appearance and scoring two goals with three assists for Los Dos.
"I had the opportunity to stay here and I'm very happy that I'm back," Garcia told LA Galaxy Insider. "The opportunity was given to me to continue my career and I'm happy to be here. I still come in with the same mentality that I came in during my first preseason which is to work hard. I know the coaching staff likes me and I know what they're asking of me. I'm more than capable of working out here."
Although the 25-year-old had interest from other MLS clubs, Garcia opted to stay with the Galaxy with an eye on staying with the first team.
"Last year, the circumstances were different because we were a very deep team with a lot of players in the midfield, but players come and go and now it's just up to me to make the most of my opportunities when they're given to me," Garcia said. "I had a great time with Los Dos last year and that only helped me become a better player. The goal is to stay here and break into the 18. For me, I want to be ready for that opportunity when it's given."
The road wasn't the easiest but the U.S. U-20's are through to this summer's U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson IV earned the start and went the full 90 minutes as the U-20's earned a 2-0 victory over El Salvador in a CONCACAF U-20 Championship playoff game. Ben Spencer and former Galaxy Academy product Paul Arriola were the goal scorers while goalkeeper Zach Steffen made a clutch second half penalty save as the U.S. controlled the match from the start against the Central American side.
The U.S.U-20's end their participation in the CONCACAF qualifying tournament with a 4-1-1 record and will be joined at the World Cup by Mexico, Panama and Honduras. Tab Ramos' squad will find out their group placement for this summer's tournament when the final draw takes place on Feb. 10.
CARSON, Calif. -- There were several new faces as the LA Galaxy returned to the training ground on Friday.
The most notable new face was former Galaxy forward Edson Buddle who spent four years with the club from 2007 to 2010 and then again in 2012. Buddle was not the only newcomer training with the team as he was joined by Galaxy II stalwarts midfielder Andre Auras and defender Daniel Steres. Joining the two Los Dos stars and the club's MLS draft selections was U.C. Davis defender Ramon Martin del Campo who went undrafted in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
While the rookies may be something of an unknown, Arena believes that the coaching staff has a grasp of what the likes of Auras and Steres can contribute heading into the preseason.
"They're good solid players and they trained with us last year at times so we brought them into preseason to see how they fit with our group," said head coach Bruce Arena.
Veteran defender Todd Dunivant who is now the longest tenured player on the Galaxy admitted that he was happy to see the first team attempt to bring in some of the talent from Los Dos.
"It's great because that's the idea behind Galaxy II," Dunivant said. "We want the guys to earn their way here and we also want to be able to reward them and give them that opportunity."
Marcelo Sarvas says contract issues and the need for a new challenge led to his move from the LA Galaxy
CARSON, Calif. -- Marcelo Sarvas is no longer a member of the LA Galaxy, but the Brazilian midfielder who was a major part in two MLS Cup titles spoke to LAGalaxy.com about his tenure with the team.
In my exclusive sit down with Sarvas, the Brazilian speaks about his arrival and what brought him to the club as well as his relationship with the fans and teammates. However, not every bit was included in my own written piece or the video interview.
Below were some excerpts from my exclusive sit down with Sarvas.
(On replacing David Beckham in the midfield…)
SARVAS: I came to a team that was a championship and where every player was good especially in the midfield where we had Beckham and Juni. I worked so hard to get a spot but that year, I found my spot on the team because of the Olympic games where David was very busy. Then I started to play and the team started to win games—not because of me but because we were good. We then reached the playoffs and I started to play more and get more credit. That was year was the last year for David and then me and Juni started to play every game. It was a pleasure to replace David but, of course, it's hard to fill his shoes. You can't say anything about David and what he made for soccer. Then me and Juni started to work together and people started to see how we work together. This year was the best year for me for sure.
(On his mindset and why he was such a fan favorite…)
SARVAS: There are a lot of people who pay to make that day special for their family and their kids and that means that you have to give everything that you have. That doesn't mean that you're perfect every day, but they have to see that you're trying and you fight for them. Now I go to Colorado with the same mentality to play for the people over there.
(On the goal against Seattle…)
SARVAS: I don't know if I was preparing myself to leave the club because no one knows how negotiations can go. But things started to build up during and after the season and I was starting to feel like this was my last year with the Galaxy. When I scored that goal, it was like I was saying good bye to everyone and that's why I felt that emotion. Even though we were going to the final, on my mind was that it was probably my last goal. Everything came very fast."
(On when he started to feel like he was going to leave…)
SARVAS: Everyone knows the salary cap situation in MLS and everyone wishes for more which is normal. You have a team that is successful and every player wants more because your price rises. That's normal in every club, but we know how it is here. We know that the Galaxy are always working with a tight budget so in my mind, I felt like we couldn't reach what we wanted. Also, I think that every player and athlete needs a challenge. "Every player and every athlete needs a new challenge. I've been here for three years and while it's natural to get settled, I always try to look over those emotions. It was time for a new challenge to get the best for me. Last year, I showed my best here and now I think I need something more to get the best from me. This move came at a good time for me.
(On the importance of getting a new contract…)
SARVAS: I think that with a contract you have to fight for the best for you and your family and that's what I did. I'm 33, it's no secret and I know that I'm going to be retired in three or four or five years. I'm prepared to play more with the way that I take care of myself, but the end will come soon, and my family has to be settled. Soccer doesn't give the same opportunities to all players that are financially secure so I had to fight for my family.
(On what it'll be like playing the Galaxy…)
SARVAS: "I don't know. It'll be nice to play against the guys that I know and it'll be a real special moment for me."
U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann open to conversations with LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers on national team place
CARSON, Calif. – U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann says that he's open to having a conversation with LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers about his return to the U.S. National Team.
In an interview with reporters earlier this week, Rogers said that he has yet to speak with Klinsmann since he came out in January 2013, despite reaching out to the coach after making the announcement. During his chat, Rogers noted that he was hoping to have a "life conversation" with the coach at some time.
However on Thursday, Klinsmann told media after the U.S. National Team's training camp that he is certainly open to having a conversation with Rogers about his place within the national team setup.
"We can have that any time," Klinsmann said. "No problem at all. He dropped me a note and I absolutely respect that, but this is his privacy so I felt that there was no need to respond. No, I can give him a call and we can have a nice cup of coffee any time."
CARSON, Calif. -- U.S. Soccer have chosen to award their highest honor to LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.
On Thursday, the Galaxy boss was named the 2014 receipient of the Werner Fricker Builder Award. The award is the highest honor that an individual can receive from the U.S. Soccer Federation and is given only to those who have "worked tirelessly on furthering the interest of the sport of soccer without regard to personal recognition or advaancement."
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena stays tight-lipped on the club's plans for third spot in the allocation order
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy made a splash last week when they moved into the third spot in the MLS allocation order by dealing fan favorite Marcelo Sarvas to the Colorado Rapids, but with preseason training camp scheduled to begin later this week, LA have yet to make a move to bolster their roster.
In an interview with MLSsoccer.com's Scott French, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena was mum on the team's plans to add a new piece to the puzzle, simply stating that he is "looking to make the team better."
Bradford Jamieson IV scores the winner as the U.S. U-20's advance to playoff round of the U-20 CONCACAF Championship
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson IV played the hero with a late goal that put the U.S. Under-20 national team through to the U-20 CONCACAF Championship playoff stage.
The young American squad struggled offensively throughout the match with Jamieson even having a chance saved off the line in the 49th minute. However, Jamieson came through in the end as he found himself on the end of a Paul Arriola cross after a U.S. breakaway that gave Tab Ramos' squad second place in Group A. The Americans finish second in Group A behind Panama.
"I'm very excited obviously. A lot of us put our heads together and we won the game," Jamieson told Fox Sports after the match. "In the end, I think that we were rewarded for our hard work."
The U.S. will now play either Honduras or El Salvador on Jan. 24 with a spot in the this summer's U-20 World Cup on the line.
The annual Major League Soccer All-Star Game is heading to the Rockies.
The league announced on Wednesday in Denver that the 20th annual MLS All-Star Game will take place at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the home of the Colorado Rapids in Commerce City, Colorado on July 29th. The opposition for the MLS All-Stars has yet to be confirmed. Colorado last hosted the All-Star Game in 2007 when the MLS All-Stars defeated Scottish side Celtic 2-0.
Unlike past years, the date of the All-Star Game could benefit the Galaxy who play their final match before the All-Star break on the road against the Houston Dynamo on July 25 before returning to action on Aug. 1 in Commerce City against the Rapids.

A wise man once said "There's a sucker born every minute." Chronic hoaxer and flimflam man Rick Dwyer has apparently met most of them. You may recall Dwyer as the guy who was hauling around a supposed Sasquatch body this past winter and charging rubes to take a peek at it, "Minnesota Iceman" style. Apparently he made $60,000 during this last haul, but has had to call it quits because his former promoter was threatening to go public.
… Read the rest
In a post to his Facebook page, Dyer wrote a long and rambling confession. "Coming clean about everything is necessary for a new start," Dyer wrote. "From this moment own (sic), I wlll speak the truth! No more lies, tall tales or wild goose chases to mess with the haters!"
This chapter in Dyer's ongoing Bigfoot fantasy began in 2012 (some years after a previous Bigfoot hoax in 2008 to which he also confessed), when he claimed to kill an 8-foot-tall Bigfoot-like creature in Texas.

There is never fighting in Olympic hockey, and this isn't 1975 anymore. There aren't all-out bench clearing brawls anymore, and fighting has been toned down massively over the years. Watch an actual hockey game for once, and get a clue people.

Billy Joe Shaver Brings Some Honky Tonk to the Kessler
The two things that amazed me most were his tireless energy and the fact the place was packed, even though Shaver plays the Dallas/Fort Worth area numerous times each year.
The two things that amazed me most were his tireless energy and the fact the place was packed, even though Shaver plays the Dallas/Fort Worth area numerous times each year.
After much deliberation, here they are. Each show has a link to the review.
And by the time I finally got around to catching Carolina Chocolate Drops live on Monday night at the Kessler, the group had already gone through a couple of lineup changes.
With three-quarters of the lineup from the band's heyday still in tact, Living Colour played a memorable, two-hour set that culminated with Glover finishing up signature hit "Cult of Personality" while standing in the middle of the crowd.
The results are absolutely incredible to witness. I don't know how anybody's brain could multitask so furiously, but Day makes it look absolutely effortless.
In addition to the concert, there was also a silent auction that included visiting Nadel in the booth during a Rangers game. That would not suck.
Tramp played a 14-song set consisting mostly of White Lion songs. He played acoustic guitar with a backing track for almost all of the songs. He also changed up some arrangements on some of the band's bigger tunes, like "Little Fighter," "Wait" and "Tell Me." Although the backing track was a tad distracting, it worked well with the setting. I'm not sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it even more if it was just him and his guitar.
When it came to the actual show production, nobody topped Mr. West this year. His magnificent "Yeezus Tour" hit the AAC on a very rough weather night, which thinned out the crowd. But West still delivered an epic show that would put some on Broadway to shame. Opener Kendrick Lamar was also stellar.
By Chuck Cox Special Contributor Save for a few false starts as she tried to remember opening chords to songs, Lucinda Williams delivered an absolutely flawless performance on Tuesday night at the Kessler. And even when she did stop a song and start over again, the crowd was hanging on […]

Huya W-Sn-Be deposit, Huya township, Mt Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China
One of the foundations of modern industry is the essential metal Tungsten. No machining of steel into finished parts is possible without Tungsten Carbide cutting tools. It is a strategic commodity in every sense of the phrase. The vast majority of the Tungsten produced around the globe is derived from Scheelite. The Huya deposit is located on the edge of Huya Xuebaoding National Park - protected home of a sizable herd of Pandas. The primitive and remote workings are in the steep terrain extending from 13,450 -14,100 feet (4100 to 4300 meters) in altitude, above an equally primitive seasonal (May-October) camp at 3900 meters ASL where around 100 people make their seasonal home. Given the remote and primitive nature of the "mine", it is astonishing that a specimen like this could escape to the outside world in as fine a condition as it has. Two dark orange pyramids of Scheelite rise from a virtual sea of silvery, bladed Muscovite mica crystals. The larger of the Scheelites measures some 3.13 inches (8.0 cm) across and the second is almost as large. The tips of the pyramids are transparent, deep golden orange in color and could be faceted. How the Muscovite blades escaped crushing and breakage is truly a tribute to the care devoted by the miners, because there are no bent or bruised Muscovites and the only area of 'contact' on the whole piece is the backside of one of the Scheelites where another Scheelite grew. The matrix is a gray material of indeterminate composition.
Overall measurements: 7 x 5.5 x 3 inches (17.8 x 14 x 7.6 cm).

Cult star seeks to resolve lost SAfrican royalties
Those who produced his records could not believe they flopped. "This guy was like a wise man, a prophet, I've never worked with anyone as talented," Steve Rowland, who produced hits for Jerry Lee Lewis and Peter Frampton, says in the documentary. He produced Rodriguez's second and last album.
Rodriguez was the first artist signed to Sussex Records. Its second was Bill Withers.
Rodriguez said he wasn't wallowing in self-pity after his music career fizzled - he just "went back to work." He raised a family that includes three daughters, launched several unsuccessful campaigns for public office, obtained a philosophy degree and reverted to manual labor in Detroit. He gave up the dream of living off his music but never stopped playing it.
"I felt I was ready for the world, but the world wasn't ready for me," Rodriguez said. "I feel we all have a mission - we have obligations," he said. "Those turns on the journey, different twists - life is not linear."
Karoub reported from Detroit.

Problem using InitialPixmapPlacement=2
Hi all,
using InitialPixmapPlacemenet=2 I have the problem that every kind of desktop effects result in some kind of screen corruption.
For example the background of the kde4 (which is btw. without xgl unusable slow) logout screen only consists of parts of textures which were shown recently (e. g. if I would open a PDF document, close it an log out, parts of this document would be shown in the background).
Or when right clicking on a plasma workspace in kde4, for some seconds the menu appears as a corrupted area before it is shown correctly.
This also applies when logging into gnome with enabled compiz. After login parts of the wallpaper are drawn where they don't belong. This is fixed as soon as this part is drawn a second time.
Using a desktop without any effects (tested with kde3) I have no problems even using IPP=2.
Is this normal behaviour for IPP=2? (btw. GlpyhCache is also enabled but this doesn't seem to make any difference).
I am using an external monitor, maybe this could be relevant.
If I remember right these problems do not exist using xgl but I need proper OpenGl acceleration.
Systems specs:
GeForce 8600M GT (Driver version 173.14.05)
x server version 1.4.x
Thanks for every help.

|VideoTravel Talk Episode #42 - Thailand Part 12: Going Home
|After riding elephants, eating scorpions, walking through Hellfire Pass, visiting the famous bridge at the River Kwai, and seeing a Red Shirt movement up close - it's finally time to say goodbye to Thailand and wrap up the biggest adventure Travel Talk has had. Our last day was a blur of packing, dashing around Bangkok's street markets for souvenirs, and a spectacular goodbye dinner overlooking the entire city. If there's a better way to leave Bangkok than with a night up on the Dome / Sky Bar at Lebua, we're not sure what it is. Early the next morning we said goodbye to new friends, stocked up on M-150, emptied a few last bahts from our pockets and prepared for the long ride home. If you have the itch to embark on an adventure like ours, check out Trikaya Tours and ask for Joom (our incredibly hospitable tour guide). Thailand, we thank you for your hospitality and can't wait to return in the future.

|Kanchanaburi isn't the first place you might think to visit when planning your trip to Thailand- but in many ways, that's its charm. We explore this peaceful oasis just outside of Bangkok. The town promises to change dramatically with the recent reopening of the Three Pagodas Border Crossing to Myanmar, and we stayed in a massive 5-star resort that's anticipating this very change. Exploring the local landmarks, we got a chance to walk across the Bridge over River Kwai- of classic hollywood fame.

|VideoTravel Talk Episode #41 - Thailand Part 11: Red Shirts
|After riding elephants, eating scorpions, walking through Hellfire Pass, and visiting the famous bridge at the River Kwai, one of the only items left on our to-do list in Thailand was to speak with people that were passionate about the sensitive political environment. As we arrived back into the city, we caught word that a "Red Shirt" protest was taking place in Bangkok's shopping district; so we went straight to where the action was. To give some brief context, last year's political events in Thailand resulted from clashes between two opposing camps - Red Shirts and Yellow Shirts. The Red Shirts (formally known as the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship) are mostly middle-class and rural citizens in favor of the progressive former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra. Shinawatra was removed by a military coup in 2006 (organized by the Yellow Shirts), which many Thais believe is due to the fact that Thailand's Royal Family was threatened by Shinawatra's success. While Bangkok is currently stable and nearly all demonstrations have disappeared since the late summer of 2010, we felt privileged to be on the ground during this event, speak with those that had risked their lives for their beliefs, and share it with you here.

Researchers produce first complete computer model of an organismJuly 20, 2012 3:37 am | News | Comments
In a breakthrough effort for computational biology, the world's first complete computer model of an organism has been completed, Stanford University researchers report. A team led by Stanford bioengineering Professor Markus Covert used data from more than 900 scientific papers to account for every molecular interaction that takes place in the life cycle of Mycoplasma genitalium , the world's smallest free-living bacterium.
Innovation promises to cut power use at big data companiesJuly 18, 2012 10:00 am | News | Comments
Big data needs big power. The server farms that undergird the Internet run on a vast tide of electricity. Even companies that have invested in upgrades to minimize their eco-footprint use tremendous amounts: The New York Times estimates that Google, for example, uses enough electricity in its data centers to power about 200,000 homes. Now, a team of Princeton University engineers has a solution that could radically cut that power use.

Research raises questions about iris recognition systemsJuly 13, 2012 3:55 am | News | Comments
Since the early days of iris recognition technologies, it has been assumed that the iris was a "stable" biometric over a person's lifetime—"one enrollment for life." However, new research from University of Notre Dame researchers has found that iris biometric enrollment is susceptible to an aging process that causes recognition performance to degrade slowly over time.
Peering into the heart of a supernovaJuly 12, 2012 6:32 am | News | Comments
Using computer simulations, researchers from the California Institute of Technology have determined that if the interior of a dying star is spinning rapidly just before it explodes in a magnificent supernova, two different types of signals emanating from that stellar core will oscillate together at the same frequency. This could be a piece of "smoking-gun evidence" that would lead to a better understanding of supernovae.

Thank you for a balanced article.
Thank you for a balanced assessment of the data to date. It is not simple, but overall represents reasons to be concerned.
I really appreciate your simple statements of fact which to me are far more powerful than the rhetorical attacks in the comments.
It comes down to what effect people think the 36 billion tonnes a year of CO2 that we put in the atmosphere is having? The idea that it is having no effect at all is extraordinary unlikely, but I have never heard a 'non-warmists' explanation of what effect they think it is having.
Personally I think 'non-warmists' are really 'non-statist'- they object to the proposed solutions to the climate change problem. That is fair enough - Lewis Page writes clearly on this. But to attack the science and the scientists is unjustified. Anyway, its a slow game and time will tell.
Thanks again

Airplane, Puerto Vallarta
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
I got to Puerto Vallarta on Air Transat, it was an all inclusive package from $1200 CDN by airfare, meals and accommodations were all included from Edmonton, Alberta.
It was a great deal I though, including transfers to and from the airport.
This tip may only be relevant if you are leaving from Canada. I know there are many other major carriers going into airport.
If you can wait until last minute I know there were some people that stayed an extra 7 days and paid only half what I did!!!!
airplane is best, you can get tourist cards either from the airline steward(esse)s or at the airport; customs inspection is random and fairly cursory. i've driven into mexico only once (border towns are NOT representative) and don't remember encountering a hassle but have heard of people who have. because of the distances and mountains, it is hard to travel much in mexico except by plane unless time is not really a problem. local buses are incredibly cheap (7.5p, about 65 cents, in 2014); i've traveled from city to city but had to rent a car.
We flew on Continental from Chicago to Houston then PV.
We highly recommend renting a car and driving yourself. But book the reservation in the
US and get the price in writeing before you go. We saved 50% this way. I would decline the extra insurance. Driving is not 'crazy' it is slow and simple to get around. Easier and safier than say Los Angles or Boston! One thing we noticed was the 'Big rigs' come out at night and on the 2 lane moutain road it is slow going. Making Left hand turns is different and they explain how it is done in PV. Once you know its a piece of cake!
We flew from Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta with a brief stop in Mazatlan via Canadian Holidays airlines. We had one meal and were able to watch one movie on the 4 hour flight. Too bad Canadian Holidays no longer exists :(
Photo: My home island-city of Richmond, BC below - moments after taking off in Vancouver.
Take the plane to get to Puerto Vallarta. The airport is pretty modern and has access from many U.S. destinations as well as Canada. If you have to go through Mexico City, beware, it can be a hassle. During your stay in Puerto Vallarta transportation requirements will be dictated by where you are staying and where your intended destination may be. Most of the time, you will have more than one option.
On my 2nd visit to Vallarta (2006) I flew with Lineas Aereas Azteca which was a small airline that covered several destinations, even in USA. The service & punctuality were pretty acceptable and the prices were some of the lowest available within Mexico. Unfortunately this airline is out of business now. Other options to fly into Vallarta are: Magnicharters (a small local airline which flies into our main beach destinations, with good prices & service), Interjet and Volaris (these 2 are budget airlines so you can get pretty good prices) and Aeromexico. The latter used to have very high prices but they now have a budget division called "Aeromexico connect" which has very decent prices and good flying schedules. This is what we used on this last trip and we were happy with the service, punctuality, etc. The plane from MEX city to Vallarta was pretty small but in good conditions and safe. The plane for the trip back home was bigger and more comfortable. You only get soda/juice and peanuts during the flight, which is about 1 hour long (even if the ticket says it's 1.5 hour long).
The road to Puerto Vallarta are rugid & shallow. Do not try to get there by car.. It isn't safe & the wear and tear on your car isn't worth it.
The cheapest flight we found was through continental, plus no layovers in mexico city, like with delta.
Sun Trips contracts with Ryan International Airline for travel from Oakland, CA to Puerto Vallarta. The package deals for air transportation and hotel are about the lowest.
On the airplane, the rows of seats are as closely spaced as possible, so the flight is not comfortable. But it only lasts three hours, and after that you are in sunny Puerto Vallarta.
Beware of Funjet charters such as ryan international airlines. These charters may be cheap but at what cost ??? I flew Ryan to Cancun last year and my friend flew Ryan to Puerto Vallarta a yr before. We both had bad experiences. I never had a seat , and neither did 6 other people on our flight to Cancun. We had to take the next plane out which was the following day. Funjet paid for our hotel but it was one wasted day of vacation. Also Ryan International has a very old/aging fleet of planes (727s) and an inexperienced staff of ticket agents/flight attendants who have limited training and information. I have only heard negative things about this airline!
National and International approx flight duration times from Puerto Vallarta TO:
- Guadalajara = 45 minutes. - Mexico City = 1 hour. - Mazatlan = 45 minutes. - Los Cabos = 1 hour. - Los Angeles = 2.15 hours - Chicago = 3.45 hours - San Diego = 1.45 hours
PVR as the airport is known is right on the beach and minutes away from most of the hotels in Vallarta. It is a small yet modern airport that is easy to get in and out of. It is served by all of the main US carriers as well as WestJet and a few others
