Puerto Vallarta 2013 - Day Two

We got lots of sun on our first full day! We usually spent most of the morning at the beach.

Here is a rare moment where Chris is just relaxing...

The guys enjoyed the thrill of trying to get a good deal with the beach vendors, which really cut in to the girls' reading time since they had to get our opinions about everything.

The view of the hotel from the beach.

The happy couple!

It sure heated up quickly...We couldn't resist heading to the ocean and feeling the waves crash over us!

Hmmm...the three amigos?

In the evening we played cards in the lobby while waiting for the show to start. We didn't catch many of the shows because most of them are pretty cheesy and repetitive, but on this particular night Chris was chosen from the audience to participate. Unfortunately, most of the pics of the show didn't turn out too well. With a day full of sun, it was early to bed for everyone.

Puerto Vallarta 2013 - Day One

I love the anticipation of a trip!

Therefore, I love waiting-at-the-airport pics...

We flew out of Abbotsford, so everything was super easy and relaxed.

When we we arrived, we very pleased to see that our rooms were just as impressive as the online pictures showed. This hotel underwent a total renovation in the past year and it was a job well done.

Notice the interesting feature in the background...you can see through to the shower from the room, or close the closet door if you need a bit more privacy.

The layout of the resort was wonderful...everything was close by...the beach was close to the pool, the restaurants, bar and lobby were close to our room...I would definitely return to this resort, as we found out many guests have done.

We spent quite a few evenings relaxing in the lobby with a beverage or a hot cappuccino.

This is the view from our hotel room...I don't think I could possibly get tired of waking up to palm trees, sunshine and the ocean every day!

This is the newly constructed adult pool, which we spent tons of time at.

This is one of the first drinks I ordered when we first arrived.

Sangria!

Sadly, the wine in Mexico is not as good as our BC wine, so I found many other mixes that I preferred over the next week.

The first night in a tropical location is so magical and I just couldn't wait to see what the next day would bring!!

Happy Spring!

I have all these wonderful notions of what blogging could and should be for me, but sadly I have not been very disciplined when it comes to blogging...




I have a whole bunch of posts from last summer that I had prepared, but just feel like they are too old to post and that I should just start fresh this year. I love the idea of blogging but most days find I am busy enough with day-to-day living.


Today is a day off and I am up early, waiting to start on my huge to-do list. We will be at the airport this time next week, on our way to sunny Puerto Vallarta! I guess that will be a good blogging opportuity to kick off this year.

Hope to see more of you soon Blogger!
