Cliff and I have been contemplating where we should go on our honeymoon. I decided to enlist the help of my beloved travel agent, Vana Carmona. Don't you love that name! If she decides to give up the travel agency, she could get a job as a lounge singer who lays across pianos. Vana planned my Italian vacation, and as I loved every moment of that, I had to turn to her again for this important vacation destination. She was happy to hear the news and immediately went to work searching for deals and locales.
That is what lead me to decide to do something I don't think I have ever done. I have decided to take a relaxing vacation! Who'd a thunk it!? Me? Relaxing vacation? Yeah, right. My parents and I have been called the "Neverending Family" because of our action-packed travel itineraries. My dad and I relish the development of our "Binder o' Fun" for each vacation we take. By the time we were finished with Italy (not to mention nearly every other trip I have ever taken), I needed a vacation from my vacation. Don't get me wrong - I adore vacations where every moment is filled with experiences I can't have at home. And while I was utterly exhausted every night in Italy, I wouldn't have passed on a single activity we did. I love busy vacations, but I have decided it is time for a change...at least, for this trip.
Cliff and I have decided (with the help of Vana) to go to an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Our plane, hotel, food, drinks, daily activities, spa treaments, etc. are all paid for up front so that when we get there, we can just relax and take it all in. Here is a link to the Dreams Puerto Vallarta e-brochure: http://www.amresorts.com/ebrochures/vallarta/ The hotel backs up to a jungle (Cliff and see Mexican birds to his heart's content) and is only five minutes from the historical downtown of PV. From talking to Vana and my dear friend Milton, it sounds like it is a great deal and we went ahead and paid for our plane flight and put down a deposit on our stay. We will be staying for 6-nights and will leave on Saturday, June 5th (the week after the wedding). We're really excited, and I will admit that I have already begun thinking about what I will pack and what new clothes I will NEED to buy. So if you have any suggestions for things not to be missed in PV, let me know. Look at me...already trying to fill every moment!

It sounds like a wonderful trip. I can't believe you will sit and relax tho...You value life experiences to just sit and let such a great place pass you by. You two will have such a great time and Cliff can seranade you each night with the new bird calls he learns!
Oh, rest assured that I will not just sit around all the time. I would just like to take some time to smell the roses rather that seeing the roses in a blur as I zoom by them
