Buenos WHO?
Paul and I enjoyed a full week in Puerta Vallarta. It was our slightly delayed honeymoon, but it was the best time for us to go. We sat in on a time share presentation, (we didn't buy!) and in exchange we were able to get 2 tickets for a full day cruise, hike to waterfall, 2 tickets for a night cruise, and 2 one hour long "relaxing massage", all for just $100. We think we got a pretty good deal. The day cruise left at 9:00 in the morning, and we went to a secluded part of Puerta Vallarta and hiked to a waterfall, ate lunch, and played at the beach. Kayaking was available, but since we hiked to the waterfall, we didn't have time to get it all in. On the boat back to the port, the tour guides started doing karaoke. They did a bunch of spanish songs, and then they wanted all the people from the United States to come up and do a very popular American Song....I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL. Paul and I, along with another American couple we met, got up there and "sang". We mostly just knew the chorus. It was pretty sad.We returned from the Day Cruise about 6:15 p.m. and had to rush to where we had scheduled our "relaxing massages". They took us into a quiet room, barely lit. Paul and I got ready to get our massages, (this was a first for me). Two little ladies came in and really worked us over. It was SO nice. Paul and I decided afterwards, that the massage alone would have been worth all the money. It is amazing the such little ladies can give such amazing massages.The night cruise we went on took us to an island called Los Calletas. Once we were there, we were able to see a show about the mexican culture. It was beautiful and amazing. Afterward, they had a buffet set up for everyone lit by candles and torches. It was a very beautiful night.Since we were able to get such a good deal on the tours that we went on, we decided that we would take the Pirate tour as well. It was a completely different experience than any of the other cruises. We went at night, but it was a PARTY! We stayed on the boat during the whole thing, but we were well entertained.We spent alot of time in the ocean, just playing on the beach, since our hotel was right on the beach, so that was nice. We had a really good time, and are looking forward to getting back there on a regular basis. We have realized however, that we probably need to take a quick refresher course in speaking spanish.
