Summary of Puerto Vallarta → Sayulita transport plan based on flights and cost/wait balance:
🛬 Arrival Coordination
- Ken & Linda land earliest (11:33 AM).
- Ryan & Alora arrive 1:50 PM.
- Kyle, Luisa & Ennio arrive 3:32 PM.
- Eric, Jordan, Levi & Elise arrive 2:27 PM (Mon Nov 24).
The bulk of the family (Ryan’s, Kyle’s, Eric’s groups = 9 people) arrive between 1:50 – 3:30 PM, so grouping them makes sense.
🚐 Recommended Arrival Transport
- Option 1 – Pre-book 10-person private van (~$300 round-trip)
- Waits until everyone clears customs (~4 PM).
- 1 hr drive → Sayulita ≈ arrival 5:30 PM.
- Best overall balance (cost ≈ $15 pp each way, minimal hassle).
