in October Mary Jo and I returned to Vallarta for a weeks stay, we resided about a mile down the beach from the Occidental. Daily I would walk the distance from our hotel to the jetty passing by the Occidental. One morning I paid a visit to the timeshare sales crew I wanted information. Some of the salespeople and I sat the the very table where it all started 6 months previous. I failed to recount my experience with them but they were very forthcoming in telling me that the \" Russian Jew\" had retired, I pressed for details but they left it at retired, but underneath the conversation took on a slightly different tone, she was the ring leader and it was a forced affair for her. They would not elaborate on the rest of the crew just that they were all gone and the timeshare program had been totally redone and all the people replaced. It seems the previous crew were Mafia from Cancun, when mother nature leveled Canun they migrated to Vallarta
