Here's the info on our trip...I'm still uploading pics! There's too many!
Well we left our place at 7pm Thursday night to drive to LA. The drive was smooth and we got to our LA hotel in 3 hours!
Our hotel was pretty cool and all modern-like. We went to bed and then woke up at 7am to drive to the airport long term parking lot. Got to LAX at about 8, checked in, security etc. I was starving so got some potato chips and water for breakfast. There wasn't much food down by the gate to get and of course our gate was the last one!
Finally got to board and flew to Puerto Vallarta. We got some airplane food, some chicken dish. Landed and had to go through customs. Then got our baggage and had to go through the rest of customs. Then had to find our transportation to our airport. The guy at the desk asked if I was pregnant! Man I wish I could have answered yes!
So that was the first hard part for me of the trip. But he told us this restaurant to go to. Found our transportation and had to share a cab with other couples. We finally got to our hotel and I was surprised it was right off the main street, not like further back like the other hotels the cab took the other couples too. The street was a busy one too.
So checked in, and they couldn't find us! WHAT?!? I was getting mad and worried. Finally they found us and put us in the wrong name, grrrrr! At least the bellboy brought us a welcome fruit drink. It was pineapple and papaya or something, it was yummy! Then we finally went to our room! We were on the second floor. We had a nice big king sized bed, that was has HARD as a ROCK. I was sooo bummed. I HATE hard/firm beds and so does DH!!!
So that was a bummer. Then we went to check out the pool and beach. We then wanted to go get some dinner, but the restaurant was closed. This was the other thing we disliked about our hotel: that every restaurant, except one which was the one we always ate at was the buffet, but at every other restaurant you needed dinner reservations. We tried to make reservations but they were for 9pm! That's too late for us to eat dinner. we're not used to that late, and too the time difference was 2 hours ahead so we were hungry earlier. Their times for meals are crazy. breakfast 7-12. lunch 1-5 and dinner 7-10.So we decided to go find the restaurant the guy at the airport mentioned. So we walked through the city to find an ATM first to get some pesos. Finally found one and then searched for the restaurant. Finally found it. It was so busy with Americans which was quite funny. We ordered a margarita and chicken fajitas. They made use guacamole in front of us too. It was all soooo yummy!!! Walked back to our hotel and got to watch the sunset on the beach. It was gorgeous. Went night swimming in the warm pool! Then went back to our room, took a shower and BD'd!
Watched some tv and ordered some room service, some ice cream. But oh my it was the grossiest ice cream we ever ate!
(The room service menu was limited and weird too)
Next day, March 1, our 1 year anniversary. Slept in, went to breakfast and then went to our couple's massage. Our massage was amazing!!!!!! It's a tradition we get a couple's massage for our anniversary. We got a nice long 80 minute one too. I wish I could have one everyday! Then we went to the beach and took some pictures and then we went to lunch. I got a Miami Vice and then a strawberry daiquiri
We enjoyed the salad/fruit bar most of all. Went back to our room and then got ready to go lay out by the pool. Got another Miami Vice. Enjoyed the sun and the pool. Then went up to shower and get ready for our anniversary dinner. I LOVE getting dressed up for dinner, DH bought me a new cute pink dress and heels that I was anxious to wear!
got dolled up and went to the restaurant. The hotel book in the room lied!!!! It said this beach restaurant didn't need reservations but we get there are they did!!!!! BUt the guy was so nice and gave us a table! It was really cold though sitting next to the ocean in a sleeveless dress! The brought us a Tequila Sunset too. The rolls were good, but our fish was a lil dry, but I loved the veggies and mashed potatoes!
Then went back up to our room and got busy ;-) (BD) took another shower and cuddled and watched a movie. Gave DH his photobook and poem I wrote him and card, he cried. It was tooooo cute. He knew that I loved him and stuff. He was soooo happy. He gave me his card and I cried too. It was sooo sweet. We had a good one year anniversary!
Next day, March 2, breakfast buffet. Then we went into town to get an ATM and do some souvenior shopping. The first ATM was down. THe second ATM was down. And then after walking about 5 miles the 3rd ATM was down too. We had no pesos to get food or go shopping with. So that was disappointing. Then walked the 5 miles back and I saw an ATM that we missed and it worked!!! Go figure huh? Then got to do some shopping, bought 2 of this sculpture figurines. 1 is of a couple hugging/embracing. And the other is a mom, dad and baby. I hope that will be us soon! Walked back to the hotel, got some lunch and another Miami Vice and then went to the beach. Simon wanted to play in the ocean and I'm kinda scared of it (sharks, sting rays, jelly fish, etc) and it was a lil cold, so I let him play while I lounged in the hammock. Sooooo nice!
And then the worst experience of the trip!!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad and upset. Well are you ready for this......so I saw a prego lady and of course I had to watch her, and she was sitting next to me so that made it easier. I wanna say she was probably about 6 months along. She was drinking a strawberry daiquiri!!!!! And then she was smoking!!!!!!! And then she laid totally on her belly, to tan her back and I swear she was like squashing the bump!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry. I wanted to go yell at her. It totally seemed like she didn't want her baby at all or cared about what to do and not to while prego!!! I would love to been prego in Mexico. I wouldn't have drank or smoked or laid on my stomach. Oh yeah and her husband mentioned they were going to the zipline thing too!!!!!!! What is wrong iwth people!?! sorry for my vent but I was soooooooooo angry!!!
Then left and went to the pool cause I couldn't be near the pg lady anymore. Went back to the room cause I was getting too hot and feeling like I was getting burned. Took a shower and laid in bed watching some tv. Went to get some sunset shots and then went to the buffet dinner. Went back to room and just relaxed again, we were so tired. Then we got hungry at like 10 and ordered some Dominos. lol. SInce the room service menu stunk. We ate a whole pizza! We were pigs but it was so good!
It's interesting there with their pizza they bring hot sauce for it! So I tried some with it. Pretty good but spicy!
Stayed up watching another movie and I fell asleep. I was awoken at 4:30 am by some INSANELY loud bassing/music. I thought it was a car driving past and that it'd stop in a few but it didn't! Our window wasn't opened either and I could hear the lyrics and everything. Covering my head with a pillow didn't help. I called the front desk and complained and then it finally stopped!! Thank goodness. I cannot stand loud bassing when I'm trying to sleep. It makes me a grouch! THen I tried to sleep but I started feeling how I felt on the other birth control pills....so tired but can't sleep and feeling sooo hungry/nauseous. So I drank a spirte and ate some candy and took some Tums. I don't think I feel back asleep till 7:30am! I felt bad for DH cause I was a lil bit of a grouch that morning.
Next day, breakfast, packed and got ready to check out. we checked out and waited and waited for our ride to the airport. Finally they came. Got to the airport and waited in line. They searched your bags by hand there and open everything up. It's kinda embarassing, cause everyone in line could see your unmentionables, etc! And of course when our suitcase opened my sexy lingerie spilled everywhere. It was embarassing. Got checked in and got some food and went through security and then to our gate. DH lost the camera bag. I was sooooo worried it was gone forever. Our expensive camera, flash attachments and lenses and my ipod were in there, and all the pictures would have been gone forever. Went running through the airport and found it, thank goodness!!
Got on the plane and a cute lil toddler was seated next to us, but they moved so the dad, mom and baby could all be together, so DH and I got 3 seats to ourselves. But I was sad, I enjoyed watching the lil girl. Got some airplane food and landed! We were glad to be back to the US. I had to pee soooooooooo bad, but there were no bathrooms through customs and baggage claim!! I had to wait till we got out of customs and got our baggage and got out of the customs exit. Ran to get on the parking lot shuttle, thank goodness we made it! (last time we waited for it for 30 minutes) We had dinner reservations at PF Changs since we don't have one near us. Thankfully we got back to our car, paid for the parking and drove to the restaurant. We were early and there was no wait so we didn't even need our reservations
Eating PF Changs so soooo yummy. (I can't wait to have left overs for lunch!!) Drove the 3 hours back home, I entertained DH by singing the whole time. We were so glad to be home that we crashed immediately!
So that's basically the over view of our trip to Mexico! We had a great time, a wonderful anniversary but we missed home!
