You are very welcome again, Rob. It was just a small *thank you* to you. Maybe we can say hello, next year, at the marriage of our chihuahuas.

there's a dog ban for the beach?!? can someone tell me about this?
thanks

Fortunately it didn't work out. Ignore anyone that tells you you can't take your dog to the beach. You most certainly can.

Thank you for your trip report, Kristi. Perfect timing!

¡Y mil gracias por el Havana Club! We're still nursing it. Sorry I missed thanking you in person.

After our 9th or 10th trip, I'm just going to touch on highlights.

*We shortened our stay in Zihua because of the beach Dog Ban. All for nothing. We keep Gus, our chihuahua, on a leash and never interacted with any doggy police. Elvira's, our go-to beach restaurant, assured us that everything was cool.

*Shopped at Lupita's, Gus & Lola really hit it off! Brought a beautiful top and dropped off a bottle of rum for Rob and his mojitos.

*Stayed at Casa Iguana for the 6th time. Can't imagine a better place w/ a better host than Jöel!

*Shopped for our usual coffee, tequila & cigars while we were still in town.

*Spent 10 day in Troncones at La Sirena for the 2nd time, can't imagine a better place w/ better hosts than Mike & Debbie.

*Met some great people at La Sirena that really helped show us the ropes in regards to the fruit/fish trucks. The trucks are the only thing to rouse people on the beach or around the pool. The best mangos I've ever had!

*Beautiful dinner at Eden.

*Even more beautiful dinner at Inn at Manzanillo Bay. Met Belen, ran into Wil and completely fell in love with Edgar, Miguel y Roberto. If you ever have the chance to see them . . . do it!

*Ate at all the usual place in Troncones, everywhere was delish, particularly Chendo's seafood rellenos, he never disappoints. La Mexicana keeps getting better and better.

*Read 3 books on my kindle.

*After all these years, beginning with stays in Ixtapa via Apple Vacations, Zihua is now feels like the big city.

*February 2016 already booked, counting the days.
