Puerto Vallarta has become Mexico’s favorite gay destination in recent years, attracting gay travelers from around the world who are drawn to its mix of Old Mexico charm, casual atmosphere, beautiful beaches and fantastic year-round weather.
So Atlantis is starting this year off right with a Mexican Celebration Cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas. The whole ship is chartered and sold out.

If you like blues, vintage R&B and good old rock & roll, don’t miss this show at CyCs!
The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise will make a stop in Vallarta October 16. On board is a stellar line up of Blues and R&B talent including my friend Ron Thompson from Oakland, California. I toured in the US Midwest with Ron each year from1989 to 1992, then again July to August 2006, and May to June this year.
When Ron was booked for the cruise he asked me to set up a show for us in Vallarta. The show will be at Cuates y Cuetes, on the Los Muertos Beach, in Old Town, Puerto Vallarta, 4pm to 6pm(plus) Tuesday October 16th.
In addition to Ron and myself there will be a drummer from the cruise and we may be joined by other mutual friends from the performers on the cruise. Ron is a multi instrumentalist playing guitar, piano & harmonica.
Please take a look at Ron’s website http://www.rtblues.com. Ron is one of the finest artists on the US blues circuit with a vast knowledge of the music. He is also a dynamic performer who always has the audience on their feet!
There’s also a video of us and more music and video on Ron’s website.
“Look, I got problems just like everybody else. I try to forget my problems when I play my music, and I try to create for the audience a way for them to forget their problems too. I try to get the people into the spirit. The blues is a spiritual thing. When I’m on stage I go into a trance.”
— Ron Thompson
A two-hour Introduction to Tango on Monday, October 1, from 8-10 p.m. at J&B Dancing Club will unlock the secrets of this sensuous dance! At this free event your questions will be answered about the dance whose magic has swept the world. Al and Barbara Garvey will present demonstrations with a basic lesson in English and Spanish. Experienced dancers from TangoVallarta will be present to assist newcomers. You do not need a partner to attend.
Tango is an intense communication between a man and a woman, relying on body language rather than words. The connection achieved between the pair expresses itself in a completely improvised dance unique to one couple in a particular moment with a specific music. Tango is often compared to a “Three minute love affair”.
In addition to the Introduction to Tango on October 1, tango practices are held every Wednesday at J&B, also from 8-10 p.m.. These are free and everyone is invited. A four-week session of classes begins Monday, October 8.
PS: If you plan to come to Introduction to Tango on Monday, please RSVP by email or phone 222-8895 so we’ll know how many people to expect. Gracias!
J&B Dancing Club is at Francisco M. Ascensio 2043, in the Hotel Zone. For further information please call Al or Barbara Garvey at 222-8895, email, or visit our website: www.tangobar-productions.com
