Puerto Vallarta Mexico

 After a fun filled sea day and running around the ship, eating, going to shows, learning how to do the Mexican Hat dance, Zumba, laughing and more eating we are excited for our first stop in Puerta Vallarta.

Ready to explore and take the town.

My one sister has been to Puerta Vallarta several times and wanted to go have lunch, walk along the beach, shop and just shop around. There are many excursions and a variety of things to do in Puerta Vallarta, but I just go with the flow of whatever they want to do. We didn't take the taxi right off the ship, we walked a little ways and then picked up a taxi. It's a little far to walk into town, and we want to save our energy. I found some really cute sandals in a store for only $20.00 that were hand made, and then off to the main part of town. 

If you walk a few blocks in you will the "Church of our Lady Guadalupe". We weren't on a tour, but you can just walk in, it's easy to find towering over the building.

After a lot of walking, we stop for lunch off the beaten path. Authentic Mexican food is the best!!

Mexico Sister Cruise

I was fortunate enough to take a sister cruise with my 3 sisters. One had never been a cruise (really), another had only taken a cruise many years ago and didn't have a great experience, and the other had taken a cruise and was excited to take another. 

Long story short, they all had the best time and were ready to start booking cruises every year. 

We all met at the pier in San Pedro, coming from different cities, and were ready to start our adventure. It was fun seeing their faces and excitement seeing the ship for the first time, and then boarding and discovering everything. They were like little kids in a candy store.

The 4 amigas 

Being their first cruise, of course we got the sail away drinks to toast and celebrate our new adventure. 

 4 girls in a balcony cabin was a little tight but we managed. For some reason we had only 1 bunk bed, so they had to bring in a rollaway. It was so lumpy we had to put it on the floor, and guess who got stuck with it? And I'm not even the youngest!!!
