We greatly enjoyed the refreshing curiosity, enthusiasm, honesty and humor of Polly Vicars' "More Tales of Retirement in Puerto Vallarta and Around the World." Even though we've visited most of the countries in her book, we learned surprising new information about all of them. This new kind of travel book would be a delight for the much-traveled or the never-traveled. Muriel Fox & Dr. Shepard Aronson, New York City

Polly Vicars new book is a definite must read for anyone who read her first book and for anyone wondering "what will I do when I retire?". The question I and my spouse (retired four years plus now) are most frequently asked is "what do you do all day?" Well this book gives you a multitude of possible choices for life after work.

Polly and Husband spent close to four months travelling during the winter of 1999 - 2000. Her descriptions of the places they saw, people they met and things they did are fascinating and entertaining. You can easily become an arm chair traveller through her tales of travel. If you have visited any of these places the book is even more special as you relive your own adventures while reading about the Vicars'.

While enjoying an excellent read you can help economically disadvantaged youngsters as all proceeds from the book go the America-Mexico Foundation, Inc. a US tax deductible foundation which provides scholarships to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico students.

I read this wonderful book about Puerto Vallarta (I share love for this Mexican city with the Author) and encourage everybody
ro read it because of:
- very positive and openness of the Author to different people, cultures, traditions
- love for adventure and engagement in helping people in need
- love for parties, celebrations
- the way of writing - interesting, positive, attractive
You won't be bored!

I JUST, YESTERDAY, FINISHED READING YOUR WONDERFUL BOOK. I CAN FIND NOTHING {BAD} ABOUT IT AND EVERYTHING GOOD! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET SO MANY OF THE DETAILS...THINGS THAT I NOW REMEMBER SEEING OR DOING, BUT NEVER CAME BACK IN MY MEMORY UNTIL YOU ELUCIDATED THEM!!!

Whether you are an armchair traveler or one who has already begun exploring the world, you will appreciate Polly's description and background of the exotic places she and "Husband" visited on their global journey. But more importantly, reading this book is a lesson in the ways to enjoy everything about any country and its people you visit. For her, making friends with fellow travelers, ship personnel, shopkeepers and the locals of each country turns "travel" into a loving adventure. Polly continues from her first book to describe the joy of retirement in Puerto Vallarta. For those who are retired or planning to retire, read this book as an inspiration to find that life begins wherever you are.
