Amigos!

Just got back from the last of the 30th birthday celebrations. We (Julie, Elizabeth, Barbie, Lisa, Robin and me) decided on Puerto Vallarta, after looking at many many many places. There is SO much to discuss, I'm not even sure where to begin.

We arrived in PV on Saturday. To our surprise, we learned that we had been upgraded to a newer RIU hotel. Never one to complain (well, without just cause), we all hopped into the taxi and headed to our new resort.

Overview of the trip: Excellent! We had a ton of laughs and lots of tasty beverages. We also played lots of card games and found a new drinking game that can be played in the pool with dice. We love Farkle!!! The food at the all-inclusive was in the "eh to bleh" range. Most of us had quite the tummy aches at one time or another, but, we didn't let it stop us.

Now, on to the pictures and stories:

Our hotel

Our room..notice the double beds pushed together to make one big bed. We didn't ask for that, you have no choice. It's one big headboard. Poor person who slept in the middle...sleeping in the crack.

This was in our room. Just make your tasty beverage before you leave the room!

Fabulous pool

Where we really spent most of our time...the swim up bar area.

Game and drinks of choice. Farkle! Beer, Mojitos and Lemon Drop shots.




Lisa and Robin..toasting in the sun



Lisa and Barbie

Julie and me - we may have had too many tasty beverages at this point.

Barbie and Elizabeth have definitely had too many tasty beverages!

My cat-like reflexes at work. DIE bees DIE!

Ok, the cat-like reflexes got out of hand. Bee carcasses everywhere.
