Mexican Adventure - The Wrap-Up

It was heaven. Sheer heaven. The beach was beautiful, the pool was relaxing and the weather was almost perfect. And, we actually did manage to get a great deal of work done on what I think is going to be a pretty darn good book, if I do say so myself.

To my friend and co-author Nancy - you've led an amazing life; I hope I can do it justice in the book. I'll go off on another adventure with you anytime. Just remind me to bring my snowsuit to withstand the balmy 45-degree room temperature you prefer. :-P

I wish I could recommend the Marival Resort to everyone, but the front desk staff was so incredibly bad, I'd hate for any of you to have to deal with that on a vacation. I really thought Nancy was going to whip out her black belt at some point and drop-kick a particular clerk across the lobby - and he totally deserved it. The suite was great, the grounds were beautiful, the food was mostly good, and the activities staff rocked, but oy vey, the front desk staff. We heard similar moaning from another family staying in our building (the grandma was a travel agent, and she was appalled), so it wasn't just us. Go to Nuevo Vallarta, just try another resort - there's at least a dozen to choose from.

But in the grand scheme of things, the entire trip was fantastic. If I ever figure out how to finish my photoset on Flickr, I'll post the full set of photos for everyone to see. In the meantime, here are a couple more photos to enjoy, both taken in downtown Puerto Vallarta along the stunning sea wall. Kick back with a margarita and dream of your next vacation!
