the craziness of our vacation...   (9 comments, 94 views) Friday, 20 October 2006

*got 2 round trip tickets for giving up our seats and going on another flight to Puerto Vallarta.

*thought we were pretty cool ... little did we know... that we would definitely be 'paying' for those tickets.

*had a 7 hour (not overexaggerating) layover in Mexico City. lovely.

*arrived in Puerto Vallarta our luggage was NOT THERE.

*tried to make the 'best' of the situation.

*decide to wash clothes in bathtub and wear same outfits. (spend money on swimming suits, deodorant, 1 toothbrush, food and booze)     :)

*drying clothes on our 9th floor patio turns out to be not such a good idea, the wind decided to take boxers and 1 sock.

*Boyd suffers from 'chaffing' because of wearing his shorts without boxers.

:( sorry sweety!

*Our luggage arrives 2.5 days later! hooray!

* took picture of bell boy with luggage, took picture of Boyd with luggage.

*tour to Las Caletas--both very intoxicated...have a camera video to prove it.  Boyd calls actors/dancers from the outdoor show  "exotic dancers".. not the best choice of words... a large red crab (straight out of the little mermaid) decides to join us for dinner, i spill red wine all over boyd's 'upper jeans area'. Believe it or not, have a video of that too.

* get lost traveling to Boca de Tomatlan to go to some restaurant that was already closed :(

* buses in Mexico are scary/ but cheap!! :)

*sweat ALOT, got lots of random weird undescribable bug bites.

*spoke a lot of fake spanglish  ?!?!?!>!? hey we tried...

*planned our days around our meals. :)

* tried out snorkeling. a little scary if you ask me. boyd saw the red striped snake and sting ray! i only saw trumpet fish and the blue and yellow ones. :(

*repelled down waterfalls, went on zip lines, and hiked through the beautiful jalisco jungle.

*wandered through the streets of Puerto Vallarta.

*found our own way down the side of a hill (secret jungle stairs through some old houses) from a restaurant: palomar de las gonzalez

*met lots of very interesting people... or should i say 'characters'.

*experienced way too much to put in this blog... or that i can even mention.

* Most importantly... realized that i love travelling with Boyd. He is the greatest travel partner ever! we now have the travel bug, and want to go to a list of places before we introduce any little Harringtons into the world.  We are starting to plan now, since we now have 2 tickets to use!!! :)
