just got back from another awsome vacation in pv. the hotel exceded our expectations. the staff in all areas were great ramon carlos lety delia patricio isidrio and so on are very nice people. did alot of hanging out at the resort this time around. im gonna have to let my liver heal, it took a serious beating. drinks just a little strong. the food was great in all restaraunts.grounds are very well kept. we did the all inclusive and it was well worth it. steaks on the grill just about every day. we did hit dulce vita for seafood pizza.YUMMY! we rented a 2009 jeep for 24hrs at the cost of $8o usd. that was fun, keeps my driving skills in tune while im there. we started from the south to show some friends el eden for a drink then chinos and off to chicos for another. then we stopped in boca prior to heading north. had to speed past the dreams resort because it was just alittle rough smelling if you know what i mean we stopped at the resort for lunch and i must say the vallarta style shrimp cocktail is mighty tastee. after lunch we buckled in for the trip to the beach disteladeras near la cruz..place is too well known now. i say that because i had to pay for parking and the beach was packed. in all it was a great day to spend out and about. we partied at andales 3 times. the first night at andales i was able to meet king david. he is a busy dude.

Robert, it was great meeting you and Amy as well as your friends Cliff and Barb. I think I can speak for Joyce when I say you are a real gentleman and I hope we can get together again another year when you're here.

hi sally! yeah the fishing trip we booked is unforgetable. im gonna do my best as to try and post some pics of our trip on pv.net. and if you happen to not see the black foam whit sox hand, i guess he's a die hard fan such as my self lol. and if you see king david do as my mother would when we were kids, she would grab us by the ear and ask what did we do with what ever we wern't supposed to touch ?..lol... just kidding, he seemed to be a nice person....and as for our new found friends that our fortunate enough to live in a world known destination for the period of time you choose, cheers to you. i'm that much more wealthier in that sense. and it would be fun to meet more when the time presents it self...peace..Robert

Robert, thanks for the trip report. It was indeed our pleasure to meet you all as well. Sounds like you had an amazing fishing trip and some of the tuna made its way to my fridge too! Thanks for that.
I hope we get to meet up again next year and perhaps take you up on that offer you graciously extended.
Looking forward to those pictures!
