We’re back, and I’m glowing!!! Not from a tan – or more likely a burn with my colouring – but from a fabulous holiday at the perfect resort in the best company.
I’ll give you each day one entry at a time since there was no shortage of adventure!
The flight there was a breeze! Luckily we had phoned an Escapes.ca travel agent instead of booking online because there turned out to be a more civilized flight time available than the ones advertised on the website.
Our flight out left at 6:00am, and since Little E was getting up at 3:00 or 4:00am for a nurse I didn’t feel too guilty getting her out of bed to make the voyage. She actually seemed rather chipper at that time of the morning. It also meant that she fell back asleep while nursing during take off. Perfect.
We flew with Air Transat, the crew was great, but the seats are cramped. I would highly recommend paying the extra cash for the bulkhead seats, especially with little ones. Luckily, our cohort had brought a portable DVD player so when Little E got a little squirmy we happily caved to the cartoon tool. I am hoping to have an iPad for the next plane ride (Trinidad?) we’ll need it by that time.
When we arrived in Puerto Vallarta there was a massive line up to clear customs. And in the true stereotypical Mexican style the queue grew horizontally instead of vertically. In other words, people were told to “merge”. There was a lot of groaning, and fist shaking and who knows what I would have done had we not been up at the front at that point…I get a little road rage – I’m working on it. A little tip though, if this happens to you, just move to the front and use the baby as your ticket!
The sights, sounds and attention from enthusiastic travellers (lots of grandparents) wore the babes out and Little E passed out peacefully on my lap on the hour-long bus ride to the resort. We guzzled Corona provided by the bus driver – ahhhh holidays!
