Arriving at the Hacienda San Angel

Our glorious vacation began with a very long flight! We took the red-eye leaving Pdx at Midnight to arrive in PV 11:30am on Wednesday.  We had several delays and had to get off one plane to board another at one point. Eventually we made it into PV about 2:00pm.  The airport in Puerto Vallarta was simple.  I don't know, but I half expected delays, chaos and pesky timeshare sharks.  Fortunately,  it all went so smoothly for us! I had ok'd the Hacienda to pre-arrange a driver for us.  It was the best thing I could have done and it basically set the tone for our vacation of being "taken care of".  As soon as we passed the red light/green light station (green light for us!) we walked thru and immediately saw a lovely young lady holding up a VIP sign with my name on it!  She whisked us into an office where another young lady greeted us with a smile and handed us two ice-cold water bottles.  It was greatly appreciated on such a hot day in PV. They took our luggage, I paid $20 bucks, and a friendly young man loaded us up & drove us  in a nice clean, air-conditioned car to the place we'd call paradise for the week!

Driving into town, we were amazed at how much Puerto Vallarta has changed since our last trip. The cab driver was friendly and informative.  He pointed out new projects, and made restaurant, night life, and tour recommendations as well. 

We drove up  into the renowned winding, cobblestone streets in Puerto Vallartas southside, right off the Malecon.  The location was great!

Talk about this trip (10)
Trying not get too ambitious by "over-crowding" our itinerary. It's so hard since there is so much too see and do in Puerto Vallarta! I have to remind myself to be realistic with the time frame as to what we can fit into a 7day trip. Since the Hacienda is so gorgeous, i'm also trying to leave gaps in the day just for relaxing and hanging out there. I would love to fit in a ATV tour or something a little adventurous.

We have been back a few months already :( For my husband and I, this was the most perfect vacation! We followed the itinerary loosely, but it was definately a good outline and i'm glad for all the research I did. We saw, ate, and did most of the things on our list. We cannot wait to go back and visit this place at least once more before picking a different vacation destination. Goodhappyfuntimes!!

We love PV and will be returning for our 6th time in about 15 years. There have been many changes over the years (Sam's Club, etc.) but downtown still maintains the old town feel. Walking on the Macado (?) Saturday nights with all the locals is incredible. Of all the timeshare locales we've been to in Mexico this is by far my favorite. We look forward to arriving in November 2007, again!
