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 a "Pirate" show trip on a replicate of Columbus' Santa Maria. The rain covers over the deck proved totally inadequate during the deluge that occurred half way through the trip around the bay. The Pirates and most of the passengers (including Kelly and Will) braved the weather.
