when was the last time you saw<br />
something for the first time?<br />
BY: TRACEY DRAKE<br />
Elizabeth Taylor would have approved of the newly<br />
renovated Casa Kimberly, her holiday home in Puerto<br />
Vallarta for more than a quarter century. In 1964, then<br />
lover Richard Burton gave Casa Kimberly to Elizabeth<br />
Taylor as a birthday gift, and within the walls of this<br />
luxurious Mexican hacienda, the two shared a heady and<br />
hedonistic life, the essence of which still shines bright in<br />
Puerto Vallarta. It is their love affair in this very special<br />
Mexican (then sleepy) fishing village that put Puerto<br />
Vallarta on the world map. The history in this place is<br />
palpable; it feels royal and rare, and I reveled in every<br />
moment that I spent at Casa Kimberly. Set over the<br />
sparkling blue waters of Banderas Bay, amidst the Sierra<br />
Madre Mountains, and surrounded by a city known for<br />
CASA KIMBERLY .<br />
