Great now that I have left ?
The event will be held in the large field at the ROUND ABOUT / GLORIETTA in front of Buenos Aires Restaurant.
Where is that exactly? Can’t picture where that is. It is in Nuevo and we don’t have a Bueonos Aires restaurant here.
I would love to go up in one of those balloons!!
Wish we were still flying on the circuit! Would love to be able to participate!

Where is it located in Nuevo?
“The event will be held in Nuevo Vallarta at the Ikal subdivision.”
Thanks but where is this subdivision?
Close to Paradise Plaza de Nuevo Vallarta. Sorry there isn’t a physical address for a field. But there is no doubt that if you arrive in Nuevo Vallarta and follow the signs or the large balloons you won’t be lost. Nuevo Vallarta is very small.
Thanks we will find it ….
