Mexico Surprise ! - 11th May-18th May 2012

After leaving the Bahamas  we flew to Phoenix via Orlando and were really excited  to surprise my sister Caroline and her fiance Simon. Jacqueline and Michael were in on the surprise.  Our seats were already arranged so we would all be  sitting on three rows together, therefore Steve and I arranged to get on the plane last.  We involved the airport staff and they enjoyed their involvement. In fact some of the airport staff came on the plane so that they could also see the looks of surprise ,excitement or just shock horror on their faces.

Both Caroline and Simon's faces were an absolute picture,unfortunatley we did not get any pictures as we were so busy laughing about it. Well done to  Jacqueline and Michel for keeping them distracted while we got seated.

We stayed in Puerto Vallarta again at Jacqueline and Michaels condominium as we did in mid March.  We had  fantastic quality time, just  catching up.  Again we relaxed and partied most of the time and spent one night in Puetro Valletro down town.  Steve managed to fit in a couple of games of golf with Simon and Michael, we all went down to the driving range and  we played a bit of tennis and enjoyed their fantatic gym. 

The Grand Myan resort which is about 20 minutes taxi ride from Puetrto Vallarta is a fantatic place to go and relax.  Where else do you go where you get your sun glasses cleaned resting by the pool and have  a waiter service  all day encouraging you to drink a copious amount of Coors light by the bucket?

Our last night fairwell!



Overall we had an amazing time and the relaxation over the past two weeks have been brilliant, sun sea sand and partying Now holiday time is over and we are getting ready for our next two week road trip, where we are flying from Phoenix to Denver and touring up towards the rocky mountains and finishing in Steamboat Springs Colorado. 


We do have to say thanks to Jacqueline and Michael for making the surprise happen as it was well worth it!
