Hey all !!!
All is well here ... we got back from Puerto Vallarta last night at around 11 pm. We all had a wonderful week ...
... and now back to reality.
We took along my folks ... and met up at the PV airport with my sister from Florida and then headed of to the Raintree Club Regina. We had 'almost' perfect weather in the high 80's (although the hmidity could have been a bit lower) ... with only a couple of short thunderstorms.
Spent a lot of time on the beach (and in the water) at the Bay of Banderas and at the 'enormous' pools at the two 'side-by-side' resorts that merged (Club Regina and the Westin) that we had complete access. We also spent several days strolling Puerto Vallarta's Malecon (Boardwalk) and at the 'river' island where the 'Night of the Iguana' was filmed. Very cool place ... it's where the river and jungle meets Bay of Banderas.
We even rented a car for a day and took a day trip to Bucerias (Located on the north shore of the Bay of Banderas, this stretch of beach is the longest on the Bay and one of the most beautiful on the Pacific coast). The natives say that this little town takes you back to the PV of 20-50 years ago. We also went to the picturesque fishing village of Punta de Mita which is the acclaimed 1,500 acre beachfront resort community located on a headland in the Mexican state of Nayarit, north of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco (which offers visitors and residents incredible beaches, lush jungles and a taste of rural Mexico) ... which was having some sort of surfing exposition (competiton) that had surfers from all over the world showing off their stuff ... complete with film crews and the works. We had lunch with them all at the El Dorado (known for their tropical atmosphere and delicious sea specialties) which seemed to be their meeting place as they finished their runs.
One of the most enjoyable 'getaways' we've done in awhile ...
