I know you all missed us while we were gone, but now we're back and a bit sad to go back to our responsibilities. Puerto Vallarta was wonderful. You really couldn't imagine anything different...right.
Our trip actually started off with a bit of stress. We got to the Eugene airport at 4:30 (that's when the airport opens) and found out that our flight was cancelled due to fog. Only in Oregon. It seems like we have this problem a lot when we fly. Anyway, they has us re-booked to fly out the following day, which was Sunday, but Marty didn't let that happen and we flew out the same morning. We did have to fly to Seattle then LA, with long layovers, but we got to Puerto Vallarta by dinner time.
I was very happy with our hotel and also knowing that it was off-season for tourists there, so there were not tons of people milling around. We were able to book our excursions with ease and without tons of people on them. It was very humid there and overcast, so no...no tan for me.
Marty and I were able to enjoy our luxurious vacation, because we had Marty's family there too. They helped our immensely with Elizabeth and we left her with the grandparents so we could have some play time. I'm sure they didn't mind having Elizabeth at all. Rachel and Daniel I know really enjoyed their time with her. They don't get to see her quite as often.
I got to go scuba diving for the first time outside of being in a class and really enjoyed it. I was scared a bit to dive a little deeper than I was used to, but a little at a time and I think it will be fine. Plus, Marty was there to help me. We also went on an "Outdoor Adventure" which included: mule rides, zip lines, repelling, free falls, and so forth. Quite the adventure for all of us. There was some tequila factories, haggling, snorkeling, and fishing. Marty will have to fill you all in on that, because I did not do any fishing.
We also found out on this trip that Elizabeth loves birds. There were lots of birds and she would like to watch them fly around. It was very funny.
On our way back we had some more problems with the airline, because the flight we had from Phoenix to Eugene didn't exist. They booked us on a flight where we had a layover for the night in Phoenix and so Marty booked us a late flight out of Phoenix so we could visit a bit longer and see some friends while we were in town.
It was a blast and we had a great time.
