We finally made it back to Mexico! We had planned to go back to Cabo last year at about this time w/ my parents, but with Nick's busy schedule and my Lasik eye surgery, we couldn't get away. So this time with my mom's urging, we played it safe and made it a last minute getaway. As in last minute, I mean my mom booked this place two-weeks prior! We lucked out and she found a nice little resort in the heart of Puerto Vallarta, 10 min from the airport (airport proximity is key cuz in Cabo the airport is 1 hour away from the good resorts).
We had an ocean view room and wrist bands that made the food in drink "all inclusive" - a very big thing in PV. So, in a nutshell we could drink as much as we want with the flick of our wrist bands. Needless to say, we all bellied on up to the swim-up bar quite often. Chairs were a premium so my mom and I woke up at the crack of dawn to reserve the good spot and a cabana on the beach (which my dad guarded for most of the morning).
On the last day, the kids went swimming with the dolphins. It was so cool! Words cannot describe, you'll have to check out the pictures:
It was Mexico, so it wasn't without trouble... I was attacked by a band of sand fleas, Nick was sun burnt and Marley & Ty ate bad hot dogs. Over all we had a great time. Even though PV is one of the most popular destinations, I don't know if I'd go back, I'm a bit of a lily, I like more Americanized places in Mexico like Cabo. I think next we'll try Acapulco or Cancun... or we might play it safe and go to Hawaii! More pictures below:
