... where we are going? It is quickly obvious she wants us to view their new property several miles in the opposite direction from where we are going. <br><br>I am slow on the uptake today, but once I tire of being &#8220;polite&#8221;, I start the offensive, which Michael picks up on and we are once again on our way. We so totally should&#8217;ve taken a taxi, senor! <br><br>About thirty minutes later we make it to a very pleasant Puerto Vallarta, again what I ...

Finally, the reward for living through all of the storm. A beautiful morning - and finally feeling better.<br><br>Got off the Ship briefly before we left (total of 20 minutes) to take a few pictures.<br><br>Back onboard by 1pm.<br><br>At 4pm Classic Disco T-dance (delayed due to our extended stay in PV).

Arrived in Puerto Vallarta - safe and sound. Rained most of the day. I stayed in bed most fo the day trying to kick the flu.<br><br>By nightfall it was a beautiful sunset under clearer skies.<br><br>But Mazatlan was closed due to weather - and thus we stayed for another day in PV.

... road into the mountains. The jungle we were in was the same one as Predator was filmed in. It looked like a proper jungle, with giant ants that had yellow stripes on them like tigers. I would not fall asleep in that jungle.<br> Up in the mountain we reached our destination, a waterfall that doubled as a natural theme park. It was full of Mexican&#8217;s swimming around. We sat on the top of the waterfall and road the rapids down the rocks, it looked painful ...

... P-Pando, a beautiful woman and the Director of Public Relations for Starwood, the company that manages the Sheraton and Westin brand hotels. She was with a professional photographer who took our picture with the hotel staff, including the Chef de Cuisine, Otto Paretto, who gave us his hat to protect us from the sun on our journey south. These pictures should appear in their newspaper at some point. I ...

... free drinks at the end of dinner. I had raicilla which is made from green agave and is called Mexican moonshine. I had a taste of raicilla at the tequila distillery and I'll just say that it's not exactly sipping stuff. Maybe there's a reason why the best Tequilas are made from blue agave! We popped into a local convenience store to get the kids some ice cream then it was back to Girasol Sur to begin packing...

... days later. I was pretty excited to have caught my first billfish and that it was over seven feet long, by far the biggest fish I'd ever landed. Alex got his fish in closer and we could tell that it was a good deal bigger. When we measured it on the deck of the boat, it came in at 104 inches. Almost nine feet! We found out later that it was big enough to have won the local ...

... Unsure if a spot would still be available, we rounded the corner of the Buenavenutura Hotel with bated breath. Aha! Lady luck was on our side. A spot was available. We can only imagine what the hotel security guards thought when we rounded the corner. They were no doubt happy to have our '79 home out of their domain. Oh well, it's public parking and they have great restrooms. Feeling good about our accomplished day, we decided to hit the town and have a minor ...

... glad I had done it. Caught the bus back into town, exchanging names and handshakes with the driver (Alex) at the end. I have noticed something else - so far I have found it actually quite hard to chat to other holiday makers or travellers. It's a weird mix of feeling slightly inadequate somehow (those first year white socks again), having perhaps gotten a little into a habit of being on my own, and also a feeling of 'well I'm only here a few days ...
