Well, at last I've got a few pics from our trip to Puerto Vallarta in February!  It was a great 8 days and SO wonderful to be near the ocean again!! My brother and sister-in-law invited us to share their time-share with them.....a big thank you to them.

This is the entrance to the resort

Jim and Diane had arrived and gotten settled before we showed up....and then welcomed us with none other than margaritas!!!

So, of course, the next morning we had to go to the Puerto Vallarta version of Costco....

Just kidding......there actually was a brand new Costco within walking distance, so we went and stocked up for necessities for the week.  It felt like home!

We did have to take a taxi home and then all of the bellhops loaded up their vehicles and delivered the loot right to our room!  What service!

The Palapa 2 resorts down from 'ours', had a very fun happy hour....

....serving all flavors of margaritas, but the mango was the BEST!

and the popcorn, of course!

Some of the beach vendors hanging out together at the end of the day

....and the 'boys' ready to head home after happy hour.

Every morning when we got back to our room, the maids had created very cool swans to grace our beds.

Each unit had their own private pool, so we had poolside meals....

but our favorite dinner was at this 'off the beaten path' restaurant right on the ocean.  The food was fantastic, and the scenery....

...was incredible.  It was one of the best sunsets....took a million pics until it disappeared!

Even though it appears that all we did was down the margaritas, that's just what I happened to take pics of.  Look at the size of these!  This was at Senor Pipi's, where their motto is :  Don't Drink the Water, Drink the Margaritas!  (we did)

These are just some sights from around the resort....it's an older resort and has many very cool touches that you don't find anywhere else.  

and, of course the beach....it was lovely!  Nothing like relaxing for the day, under a palapa, reading a book or two.  It was wonderful!

And another great sunset the night before we left for home.....hated to leave.

There were so many beautiful sights....everywhere we looked, there were flowers in bloom and the grounds were incredibly cared for.  It was sooooo relaxing...great to take the time.

We highly recommend it!  :)
