Free cancellation before Feb. 2. Check-in: 15:00, out:12:00 No laundry or luggage drop Nice rooftop terrace apartment in a good location. This apartment is on the fourth floor, which means stairs, but it also means you are up high and get fresh air. You can open windows and doors on all sides, so you feel like you are sleeping outside. It is beautiful. The place looks like the photos - rustic cabana feel, which I loved. The bed is comfy, so is the sofa outside. It feels private because there is no one high enough to see in your windows. |

Today was mostly a chore day. Dawn arrives from Atlanta tomorrow to hang with us for about 3.5 days.
So, we dropped off our laundry, added some data onto my Mexican sim for Dawn to use, then did some bus recon. We caught the bus up to the airport and intended to ride it straight back again, just to make sure we know where to catch the bus on both ends for getting her from the airport. Well, the bus doesn’t turn around at the airport. In fact, it goes all the way out to Ixtapa (no, not THAT Ixtapa, thankfully… we’d still be on the bus) and then takes a break before heading back. So all together we ended up spending between 2-3 hours on bus recon, with about 2/3 of that being an unnecessary bonus trip to Ixtapa. Oops. When we got back we walked up to the chocolate museum to book the three of us into a tour of that place, including a workshop on making ganaches and truffles. We then had lunch at a great little hole-in-the-wall called Sandy’s. It’s near the expensive touristy stuff but not expensive nor touristy at all. It was awesome. I also booked us for a Vallarta Eats tour that Dawn found. We then went off to the beach to meet Joerg and Barbara for a walk and visit. They’ve been here since the beginning of January and will be here until early March. Last night when Brent and I were down at the beach we noticed a drone flying around near the pier, and we’re pretty sure it was Joerg. He says there was another guy who showed up with a drone but I think it was his that we saw. Crazy. We were planning on going to a drag queen show this evening but we balked at the price and decided to give that a miss and figure out what to do about our last week here. We’re supposed to be out at Yelapa, which is water-access only, staying on the beach and then at a Glamping site up the river… buuuut… they’re calling for some crazy amounts of rain for the first three days and we don’t really want to be stuck out there in that so we may have to look at a Plan B… |
