Of course it was once again way too short a vacation and the goal is to spend my winters there and hopefully, this is going to happen soon. It was a long trip to make it here this year but still worth it, especially for a few weeks. Missing last year was a first in well over 25 years and I could not see myself going 2 years in a row without coming here. For the return, I flew to Mexico City, then PV and overnighted in PV. After landing in PV, I went to get tested at the PV airport and by the time I was coming out of the shower at my hotel, I had the test result. I went for a walk from my hotel, the Comfort Inn, which was 5 minutes from the airport. The hotel was a good place, near the marina, restaurants and had decent wifi, quiet rooms, very clean and pricing is reasonable for a night. I had dinner in an open-air restaurant and walked the marina path to digest my food and on the way back toward my hotel heard some live music coming from bar and went to check it and to my surprise, it was a Cuban band that used to play at Bandidos in Zihua that I had last seen 2 years ago. I stayed for a few margaritas and watched some great dancers for my last night in Mexico. The morning after I had a late check out and went for breakfast in my hotel before doing the same walk around the marina I had done at night. So much money in PV, just in that marina. Beautiful spots and very different after spending 3 weeks in Zihua. More fast pace and more touristy and more pollution and noise. I definitively much prefer Zihua.

It was a chaotic scene at the PV airport when I arrived. I got there just over 2.5 hours before my flight to see a huge lineup as 4 flights to Canada were supposed to leave close to each other and one just got canceled as I arrived. The line was not moving fast but a group of us got picked up in the crowd to move to another check-in counter and we ended up barely making our flight. I was connecting in Calgary and then heading home for an arrival just after midnight. All together, about 14 hours in airports. I got home physically tired but mentally rested with tons of good memories and looking forward to my next vacation there.

Anybody that would like some info on anything I talked about, feel free to message me here or send me an email...
