Into Jalisco

Puerto Vallarta... fancy, fancy, fancy!!!


Happy Linda at happy hour

Day 15 – Sayulita to Puerto Vallarta

Linda arrived today. Yahoo! She had a good flight that arrived on time. Sure glad to see her.

This morning Lee and I rode into PV together. I had picked a hotel out of the guide book that is located in old PV. We parted company near the hotel and Lee continued south on the coastal highway (200). I went into town to find the hotel.

The one I had selected had no vacancies but there was another nice looking hotel across the street, so I went in to inquire about a room. After I had asked for a room, the fellow behind the desk politely ask me if I knew that this was a gay hotel. I explained that I needed the room for myself and my wife. After a nice discussion he recommended a hotel around the corner. I took his recommendation. Later I smiled as I tried to imagine what might have transpired if Lee and I had both gone in to this hotel to ask for a room?

After getting the hotel room I rode back to the airport to meet Linda. This hotel, Playa Los Arcos, is a large hotel on the beach in old PV. It is very close to the hotel in which we stayed back in 1972. I have been told that PV is the fastest growing resort in Mexico. It certainly is a busy, booming place. Too busy for us, and too expensive.

Tomorrow Linda and I are also continuing south to Barra Navidad, about 200K from PV. We plan to stay there for 2 or 3 days before returning to Sayulita. Lee is planning to go further south and meet us back in Sayulita next Wednesday.
