Back from Mexico!

Hola! We returned on Friday all tanned and rested from a week in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. By the end of the week our Spanish was getting muy bueno! We got there Friday, June 16th. Our plane was about an hour late in leaving, but it was good flight. When we were just about ready to land they flight attendants started handing out all the immigration and customs forms. They could have given them to us when we took off, but NO, let's wait until we are circling the airport! I had six of them to fill out, 10 forms in all. I had writer's cramps when I was done. If you had a question, might as well just guess because it was too late to ask a flight attendant, they were strapped in for the landing. We exit the plane pretty quickly since they let us use the rear exit too. It was HOT! We had to take a short bus ride from the plane to the airport. We went through customs without any trouble. They didn't even look at all the forms I stressed about getting filled out correctly and quickly. Luckily there were guys there to help get your luggage out to where the cabs were. We made it past the mobs of Timeshare sales people and out of the airport. We caught a suburban (cab) for $45 to our resort, the Grand Mayan.

The resort was beautiful! When we walked in the foyer was dark with huge 40 ft. tall Mayan statues lining the walls on each side with a reflection pool and another statue at the far end. From there you walk into where registration was. We got all checked in. Each of the girls got to sign in so they could sign for meals and drinks by the pool and such. We got wrist bands too. We later found out that they just help the tour guides in town recognize where we were staying. We then got a briefing by the timeshare people they have on staff there and they talked us into going the next morning to look at their timeshare tour in exchange for a free breakfast buffet, 1000 pesos, and 15% off our total food and drink bill for the week. We were also given some brochures and coupons for the area. We went and enjoyed a few complementary margaritas outside. Daughter no. 2 and her friend were dying to go check out the room, we were torchering them by enjoying a margarita or two.

We when got up to our room we called for our bags then had a look around. Our room was over 1200 Sq.Ft. To the right and left were rooms with a king size bed, sitting area, tv, jacuzzi tub, shower, bathroom etc. Between the two bedrooms was another room with a living room, dining table, kitchen and tv. Out on the balcony was a wading pool with chairs and end tables. We had a lovely view of the golf course and Sierra Madre mountains. Ruben brought our bags up. He seemed to like daughter no. 1 and her friend. He was trying to teach them some spanish. Once our bags arrived and we unpacked we walked over to the Greenbreak restaurant on the golf course.

Dinner outside next to the golf course right before sunset was really nice. The dished they prepared looked like works of art! They were gorgeous! We had various types of dishes including seafood and beef dishes. They didn't have an extensive menu but we all liked what we ordered. We also tried Pacifico Clara beer. We really liked it and ended up ordering that most of the week. After dinner we went back to our room and crashed.

Tomorrow I'll tell you about our timeshare tour ordeal!!

Adios! Buenos Tardes.
