Puerto Vallarta
May 19, 2006
Things went well. So here is a breakdown as closely as possible. Keep in mind...high levels of vodka and beer were consumed, thus a slight blurring of events and time-frames.
Wednesday 5-10-06
Cory and I woke up around 4:45 am to get ready. Our friends Amy and Annie agreed graciously to take Cory and I to the airport so we didn't have to leave a vehicle there. Since our plane left at 7:30am we needed to be at the airport around 6:15ish or so. Well, I called Annie's phone and no answer. Instant panic! So I hung up after leaving a worried voicemail and immediately called Amy. Knowing how much of a morning person she ISN'T... I was almost in tears while the phone rang. Alas.... Amy answered and said they were up and getting ready to be at our house soon. Problem averted and a little bit of sanity came drifting back.
Well the plane left on time and we landed in Houston. Switched planes and then headed off to Puerto Vallarta. We landed there and did the whole customs thing and we were off in the taxi to the Hotel. We stayed at Hotel Mercurio just a block from the gay beach.
That first afternoon we went for a stroll and got something to eat. We found out that the Olas Altas Street was the main street in the Zona Romantica Section we were at. After eating, we went back to the hotel and went to the pool to have a few drinks. That's where we spent the rest of the evening.
Well, since this could go on forever, I'll summarize a bit. We found a few nice clubs and bars there. A beautiful old hacienda-style bar called La Manana. And the loud and more younger crowd, the place called Paco Paco. We spent a few nights there, but since it was the low season there things didn't pick up until around 2 am...so we never really saw the paces get too busy.
We spent several days at the beach, Playa de los Muertos. There, we got the most sun we could ever want and saw some of the cutest pieces of eye candy. Lots of margaritas, daquaries and beer on the beach too... of course. I'll put some pictures up of our adventures too.
yeah...and the picture above I was taking a picture of the two Corona bottles and the water bottle........RIGHT!
We met some really great people, and hope to keep in touch with them for a long time. Our friend Bobby from Palm Springs made the first several days just a blast! Hanging out with him at the hotel pool was so much fun, too bad I don't remember each little bit. HAHA darn vodka...
(warning - Oso Negro Vodka is cheap...very cheap...and it tastes like it. blech)
Well...needless to say we had such a great time and couldn't possibly write it all in here.
Talk to you all later, sorry for the delay in the postings...

I am very glad you are both ok from the trip and that it was a pleasant one. Unlike your trip to Vegas. And how dare you come to Texas and not give us a yell :(( oh well so goes life for me in the fast lane. I hope all is well for you and George and Sophia are too mad at you for leaving them. Take care my special friends and hope to see you soon.
Love ya'

I am thinking of going in August as a side trip from Mexico City.
What did you think of the hotel?
Maybe you didn't spend anytime there!?
