In August, Sandee, Kelly and their hair dresser friend, Will, spent a week in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. We started planning it in the spring. With gas prices soaring we decided that it might be that last best chance to see a little of life outside of our homeland. Our party took took two show trips around the bay.




This was Sandee's and my hotel room, complete with a Madonna and child painting.









The room had a comfortable patio that looked out on the pool area below.











The pool area, which was adjacent to the Bay, had a water fall and complete sun worshipers cabana facilities.










The restaurants in this "Love Boat" destination were impressive and relatively inexpensive.


We took an adventurous pirate show trip on a replica of the Santa Maria that had been given a local name. The rain covers that you see above the deck, turned out to be totally inadequate.
