Sorry this will be my last trip report until we get home and learn how to set up a flicker account so I can post some damn photos ..just can't do it on this IPad ...I soon will figure that out ..what a vacation this has been ,I have check so many things off my bucket list I'm going to have to start over with a new one ...where do I start ? The beaches I have seen this time , la Ropa , la Madera, las Gatas, Barra , Playa Larga, Playa Linda, Playa Escondito, Playa Azul, Ixtapa Island , Wow ! ..The things we have done Fishing twice, with Julio Tours , snorkling , rope a dope parasailing , went to a transvesti show in IXtapa , seen the back roads of Mexico and the high rises hotels of Ixtapa photos of Iguanas , Crocs, armadillos,, biggest bugs I have ever seen ,, hundreds of humming birds at our hotel , a scorpion , cows grazing under coconut trees , that still seams weird to me ,made friends with beach dogs.saw the refuge at Barra de potosi ,the fine dining of Tentacionas to the hand made cooked on the fire pit beach tacos at Peuerto Escondito , to Papa loca pastor potatoes , pizza, Chineese food with friends , drinks with the locals in town , the 5 star dinning for desayuno every morning at our hotel , hung out at the basket ball cout , viewed a,political rally , boogie boarding at Playa Azul we found a very nice beach club and swam and use our floaties in the pool there and some of best food any where , We stayed at Cinco Sentidos a very very nice hotel and was treated surpurb and even had friends come play with us at the pool ...we have been up down all around Zihua and have had the best vacation ever ...thanks to the board members and a special thanks to our good friend Lady M we cant thank you enough , Now it's that sad time to start packing and try to fit all the items and tequila in the extra suitcase we brought . The hotel must have planned and put the scale in the room what a good idea , now I can weigh those over stuffed bags full of tequila before we get to the Airport .I hope that bathroom scale was not to be used to see how much weight we have gained on this trip ..lol We still have 23 hours to go and that last night in Zihua dinner, maybe a nice romantic dinner at Kau Kan so I can check another place off that bucket
Ist .Still we will hit the mercado early tomorrow before we head to Seattle for a few little things for the granddaughter and the last few photos ..back to jump in the pool then off to Seattle ...Zihua thanks for the memories ..

Damn, I got so tuckered out reading your trip that I'm gonna go have to take a break.

Thanks for stopping me to say hi the other night after the voting. If I hadn't been dead on my feet from exhaustion I would have loved to have rapped a while with you. I just barely made it home before collapsing. How come I didn't see your wife with you? Or did I?

Man, you really got to do it ALL, and then some. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. That's what a Zihuatanejo vacation is ALL about! :vacation:

Good Job!

Good Job Kirk!

really appreciated all of your coverage and impressions.

Kinda had the field all to yourself in the off-season and all, but you really nailed yourself a great vacation. Guess it's not difficult to see why so many of us repeat multiple times or bite the bullet and finally invest in living down there for at least several months a year.

You've done great trip reports, Dawg. I enjoyed every one. You're an inspiration. I always think that what I have to say is only the ordinary things of a day in Zihuatanejo. But, once again, you proved that people love to hear about ordinary days and a some vacation adventures.

I think you've motivated more of us to post what we enjoy. New people get a really great idea of what a vacation in Zihuatanejo can feel like. And regulars enjoy walking along beside you through your spine-softening days of relaxation and your days of adventure. Thanks a bunch and maybe we will cross paths in February.

Thank you so much for all of your trip reports. I will miss them almost as much as I miss Zihuatanejo. Have a safe trip home.

Here I am sitting on at 30,000 feet looking at our photos of the trip wishing it was not over , I miss Z already and iam not even half way home :-( ...how I wish I was sitting on the beach toes in the sand , with the sounds of the waves crashing onto the beach , the skinny beach dog under the table next to me , a cold corona in my hand , staring out over the bay watching the water taxis bringing people back from Las Gatas ..oh how I miss that . By the way in the two weeks we were there I only had two taxi drivers that knew how to drive a car and shft it properly they way under rev the cars ..why I don't know ..will some one tell them the red line is 6000 rpm ...most of them shift between 1200- 1500 weird ...rev that sucker you may get better mileage and clutch life ...arggg ..just had to say that ....back to missing Z waaa. I miss the people walking around the basket ball court , the great tacos , the warm rain on my bald head ....turn this plane around pleaseeeeeeeee ...and thanks for reading my reports guys ...I'll post some great pics when I get home ...
