and for
the first week of the year, my friend and I went to PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO!
The story
behind how we got there is pretty cool! (if you
know me, you should know by now that I will surely tell you even though it is
not really relevant) It was about 3 weeks? ago, when I randomly saw her at the halls of
the Lab (we work together) and of course instantly had lunch together, I was
telling her how I have a week of vacation at the beginning of the year and I
really really REALLY would want to go to Mexico but no one wants to go with
me and then POOF it became coco crunch! we instantly searched
the web for hotels and deals and then next thing we know, we were at the
airport no clue to where we're going (we did a little bit of
research) already flying to Mexico.

And so the adventure begins! It
was our first time ever in Mexico and we had no clue to what we should expect.
All we know is, someone from Westjet Vacations is going to pick us up at the
airport. Don't
really want to tell all of the story since it looks kinda bad and that's not
the point of this post, long story short at the airport, some 2 guys stopped us for
their tour package while trying to offer us tequila and some other sort of
alcohol and was offering a lot of tour packages but the catch was to have us
pay upfa $100 reservation fee. And growing up in the Philippines, I have seen
worse so I knew to run away from him. As soon as we met the person that was
supposed to be picking us up, the first thing she asked was if we got stopped
inside and she just said "Next time, don't stop inside, but now you
know!" Anyway... the adventure continues!
So we found the right people and
then they brought us to our hotel, Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Spa. I was
under the impression that we would get there at around 6 pm, I don't know what
happened but it was a little before 10 when we got to the hotel. The first
impression of the hotel wasn't too good TBH. When we got there we couldn't
connect to wifi, the food wasn't too good, and for some reason there is wifi but
only at the hotel lobby or anywhere near it. I even told my friend that now
that I have seen Mexico, I don't think I would come back. but remember how this
post is not to make Mexico look bad because it is amazing? IT IS. We stayed in
Puerto Vallarta for a week and this is just the first day! We had so much
adventure that I wanted to make a separate posts for each of the day that we
were there. And besides you're already 3 paragraphs in, I'm not even sure if
you're still with me.
-till the next adventure!!
