Had breakfast on the roof this morning, Bob's good coffee, fruit, and muffins. We had the place to ourselves, very peaceful. After breakfast we took off on a three hour walk up north along the beach. There are many accesses to the beach, and you can walk through any hotel area to get there. There are many rock piles jutting out into the water. The waves come in and splash high over them. Great photos if you catch the waves at just the right moment. Saw a guy collecting clams. A few venders were walking the beach, selling jewelry, hats, blankets, etc. They were all very polite and accepted a "No, gracias" with no problem. As we walked the beach, we hit the river. The waves went in and out, but the main river area was ... read more

Arrived in Puerto Vallarta about 20 minutes early, very smooth flight. Weather was very pleasant, about 80 degrees and a slight breeze. Our hotel, Mar Elena, is in the northern hotel zone, very conveniently located. We took a bus from the airport to the hotel, a total of 90 cents! We arrived at the hotel about dinner time. Walked around the area, found a bank where our local bank card actually worked, and discovered a great little place for tacos. Tako's Grill is located close to the hotel, and had some delicious food. Found a big general store around the corner, where we could get fruit and pastries for breakfasts. Back at the hotel we checked out the pool on the fourth floor roof. Very nice view, especially at night. Now that we are settled in ... read more

Kävin pelaamassa bridgeä. Menin bussilla. Peli alkoi klo 13.30 ja kesti klo 17 asti. Sadan peson hintaan kuului juoma. Kävelin takaisin rantakatua. Ehdittiin vielä uimaan ennen auringonlaskua. Yöllä kierrettiin baareja.... read more

What a welcome site this place is, probably very touristy, but so pretty! This ship company just don't get it right, only 8.00-3.30 here today, so much to see and such little time! We would definitely like to come back here, so relaxed, lots to do, great restaurants and bars. Took a private tour with two other couples, sooo good - our tour guide Hugo was such a gem and loves his city, even with all the changes over the years - he would have been at least 65 years old - so friendly and I bet he has a sore throat, didn't stop talking for 4-5 hours - took us to the newer parts of Puerto Vallarta, the old and into the rain forest and also to a Tequila Distillery, more samples!!! and margaritas as ... read more

Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Today is the big day, we are able to finally able to board our cruise ship. The day started early for Todd. He headed to the lobby of the hotel at 5:15 am to work on miscellaneous items. Today there was no rain, rather a cool Pacific Ocean breeze blowing through the lobby area. It was so peaceful with the waves crashing on the shore and the jazz music playing in the lobby. I went to the 24 hour coffee shop to get my morning java. Everyone was up by 7:00 am this morning. We wanted to ensure that we were packed and ready to head to the ship. Today we ate breakfast the Blaze restaurant. This was the restaurant we ate the first evening for dinner. This ... read more

Monday, March 16, 2015 Todd was up bright and early, 5:15 am to work on his blog. This is our first morning at the Hyatt Ziva. I headed to the lobby (open air) to find a location where I could sit with my computer and also find a plug. Bingo, I found one in the lobby. While I was sitting in the lobby, you could hear the Pacific Ocean waves crashing against the shore and the heavy rain hitting the hotel roof and dripping below. The lobby sound system was playing Broadway classics. I don’t ever recall having such a setting while in a hotel lobby. Absolutely incredible. Next to where I set up there was a 24 hour coffee shop. I grabbed a coffee. Everyone else was up by 7:15 am. We opened the blinds ... read more

Saturday March 14, 2015 Today we are so excited to head off on a Mexican Rivera cruise on Princess Cruises. Todd was up at 3:00 am and everyone else was up at 4:00am. Seriously early for the Breton’s. We were out the door by 4:30 am and headed over to pick up Cindy’s dad at 5:00am. A quick pick up there and off to the airport for our 7:10am flight. Our check in went smooth and we went through security with no problems. Since Cindy’s dad and I have priority access with American we were able to go through the priority line. Thank goodness because the queue is wrapped around 4 times. We boarded our American Eagle flight on time for a 7:10am flight. After sitting on the plane for 40 minutes, the pilot came on ... read more
