Puerto Vallerta




BJ and I had a great trip to Mexico...we went swimming with the dolphins, which seriously could pass for sharks, and went to an exclusive island for dinner. But our first night we decided to be locals, or maybe cheap, and headed to downtown (we were about 15 minutes from downtown normally) via the Mexican mass transportation or the 'bus' at 5:00 in the evening. It took an hour and 45 minutes and had one 'over the top' smell. We forked up the cash for taxis from that point on.

Second day we listened to a 'presentation' about time shares, and thought seriously for about 2 seconds to purchase one for all our friends to visit...then found out the cost and quickly exited.

The dolphins came next...and it was fun to do, and interesting with 2 toddlers younger than mine in the tank with us. Interestingly, the dolphins are located at a water park, so after swimming with them we rode slides like we were 18 again for the next few hours. We then went on the exclusive island dinner. The hour long boat ride to the island was filled with dancing crew staff and a constant thought of 'where can I throw up?' The waves were literally lifting us vertical into the air....the ride back was much better with a couple pills popped. So after a constant fear of Montezuma's revenge, we traveled back to the states following the path of IKE. We held up in Dallas at Kelly's and Megan's for five nights, then loaded two coolers and headed back home.
