Estancia San Carlos Puerto Vallarta

... before moving on to my next Thanksgiving meal. This time it was in the apartment of Dylan and Andy, two of the guys I play 5-a-side with every week. Just like buses, you wait 21 years for a Thanksgiving dinner and then two come along at once! I managed to force a couple more plates down me before going home to sleep it off. A very satisfactory day.

The next morning I skipped school again (CEPE is rather lax on pretty much everything) and set off bright and early for the ...

... noticed amongst the trillions of trinkets and tacky tourist gifts. The proprietor brings it down. I can tell Michael likes the shirt. 595 pesos. Michael balks, turns on his heels to walk away and the man urges him to “Calm down, Senor, relax. What would you like to pay for the shirt?”

They haggle and finally settle on a price of 140 pesos, about 10 US dollars. Michael is happy, I am beat, the humidity is God awful, and we are both ...

Finally, the reward for living through all of the storm. A beautiful morning - and finally feeling better.

Got off the Ship briefly before we left (total of 20 minutes) to take a few pictures.

Back onboard by 1pm.

At 4pm Classic Disco T-dance (delayed due to our extended stay in PV).

... hasta que se acercaron unas nubes muy grises, cuando estuvo muy nublado nos fuimos al cuarto a arreglar. Jamás olvidaré el delicioso baño y la jetita que me eché después en la amplia cama, la lluvia afuera pero el clima cálido y la taza de café cuando me desperté.

Tenía un amigo virtual en Vallarta y quedamos de vernos en la noche para ir a echar desmadre (ya que con las ...

... the priest was in full oratory form for the homily, so we escaped out the other side. We were in the middle of the modern Mexican town, complete with a permanent market structure covering at least a full city block. Inside were the various stalls of the merchants - everything from T-shirts to serious daily commerce. The butcher stalls were fascinating, if a little gruesome, with entire sides of beef ready for making into individual cuts at the customer's ...

I rejoined the ship in Los Angeles on the 25th of February after a great vacation at home playing golf with Dad and the Sun Lakes Team players. We started my first two cruises with two back to back 7 day Mexican Riviera cruises going from LA to Cabo, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and then back to LA. Although I didn't get ...

... Located in a little cove, the wave actually runs parallel to the beach we drove up to. People were surfing the wave in from farther up the road, and would run back up the beach to catch another long ride after they fell. The break was actually pretty small, not that we wanted anything bigger to learn on. I don't know if it was the useful words of advice, or the small manageable waves, or the forgiving foam longboards we were using, or our naturally raw talent and abilities we have ...

... II Finally, the plane ride home with the package-holidayers inspired me to write a brief song describing the experience (all right, I ripped the song off, and just changed some of the words, but that's still pretty musical for me).

Thank you, thank you, you've been great. Rock on.
