Feb 21st - Puerto Vallarta

Great day in PV today!  The weather was spectacular and lots of people out and about!  Cruise ships have been staying away from Mexico so they were pretty happy to have the “gringo’s” back with their wallets open!

The last time we were here Sailor Ed had to find a Dr. to get him a rental CPAP machine!!  No worries about that this time and we enjoyed the day mostly from our balcony!  This morning we spent some time walking around the pier area and looking in the shops.  It’s too bad the Mexican’s in California can’t speak English as well as the Mexican’s in Mexico!!  That’s what they call an “imponderable”!!  We got a kick out of Juanita who has 12 children from “too much hootchie-hootchie” and “Mexican’s don’t have any good TV”!!!  She was so nice and so much fun we had to be her “first sale of the day”!  Yea, sure!!  She was a kick.

Came back in time to catch a noontime trivia……which we won!  A deck of cards…..big deal.  It’s not about the prizes anyway!

I did some reading on the balcony this afternoon since it was such a gorgeous day and we were overlooking the pier area.  I’m reading “The Glass Castle” and can’t put it down!  What an amazing memoir!  Hard to believe it’s true.

Our sailaway was delayed for about an hour while they waited for some stragglers.  Lucky people!  They just sauntered on and not a bit worried about keeping 3500 people waiting…..some nerves of steel there!

We arrive in Cabo tomorrow about noon and I am hoping for another nice whale show!  We will be there until Thursday afternoon so I don’t know which day we will get off the ship and tender to the pier. 

We both feel like we’re winding down and both of us are ready to be home.  We will enjoy the last few days and feel grateful we’ve been able to take this cruise.  Come Saturday we’ll be very ready to head north.

That’s all the news that’s fit to print!

XOXOXOX
