Getting off the boat was a bit of a mess. The line to get off the boat went up three flights of stairs and took us over 40 minutes to get off. But once we were off, the area was nice and safe. There were lots of vendors pushing their wares and offering excursions, but we wanted to spend the time just walking around and taking in the sights. We had lunch at Sammy Hagars Cabo Wabo. The margaritas were good and the food was plentyful. 


Cabo San Lucas

Of the three ports visited, this one was the poorest. Since we had 6 of us we had to take two different cabs to get to town. On the way one of the cabs actually broke down and we had to take another cab. There was a slight dispute between the cab drivers since the first cabbie wanted his full fare, and then the second cabbie also wanted a full fair to take us the rest of the way. I wasnt having any of that. I put a $5 dollar bill in both their hands (since i was told it was a $10 ride) and told the first cabbie that he only took me half way, and told the second cabbie you are also taking me half the way. They didnt say another word. 
Once we were there, all the shops definatley were pushing their jewelry and there really wasnt much to do other than shop. 
We ate at a local restruant and had shrimp tacos for lunch. With the weather being so wonderful, sitting outside, having some shrimp and beer, overall it was still a nice day. 


Mazatlan

We did the zipline and rapelling adventure at this port. WOW!! It was a blast. It started with a 15 minute boat ride to get to the location. We saw wonderful beachfronts and houses right on the ocean. Once we got to our destination we took a 15 minute jeep ride up the mountain. The view was amazing. 
The group who worked with us on the zipline was amazing. They were always having fun with us and making sure we had the time of our lives. 
Once we were trained, we took the mule ride up the mountain and the fun began. The ziplines were very safe and exciting. My favorite part was actually during one of the rapells when they told me to let go of the rope and i dropped into the pool of water at the bottom. That was great!! 
At the end of the adventure they had food and drinks waiting for us as we cleaned up, changed clothes and looked at all the pictures they took of us while we were there. Of course i bought every picture they took of me. Honestly, how often am i gonna get a picture of me on a mule. LOL 


Puerto Vallarta

The food in the main dining room was great.There was definately a good selection of food to choose from, but the freshness of some of the items were my biggest problem.
