Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico

16 October 2010

They say all good things come to an end, so our week in Puerto Vallarta was over. After breakfast, cleaning, and final packing, we called for our “inspection” of the room. With that taken care of, we headed to the lobby to check out. They had warned us it would be very crowded, but it wasn’t. We stored our luggage and headed out one more time, to the north toward the marina. It was too early and almost nothing was open and the sun was already hot. That led us to the Starbucks so we could check email and do a couple of other computer things in air conditioned space.

One last public transit bus ride took us back to Los Tules and the shopping center across the street. For lunch we went to Las Gorditas, making our last meal in PV the same place as our first one. Again, they were very good.

From the hotel, one more taxi ride to the airport got us on our way home. We had plenty of time, and picked up some snacks for the plane since there were no upgrades available

The flight to LA was smooth and uneventful. Since there is construction in the International Terminal at LAX, we had to take a bus from the plane to the terminal, a minor hassle. We had a long enough layover that there was no problem, and going through customs was the usual breeze.

The flight from LAX to PDX was also smooth and uneventful, as flights should be. It was raining lightly in LA when we left, and clear in Portland when we got here. After retrieving our luggage and a taxi ride home, another adventure was completed.
