So glad to be back in Zihua........ Travel don Friday was as smooth as could be........... Overnight end in Victoria to save any problems with the dreaded Malahat............. Those of you from there no what I mean........... Left the hotel on the 5:00 am shuttle for the 6:300 flight from YYJ to YYC....... Landed early had a 55 minute connection time ....... Haven't been this route for a while....... Open air carts take you to terminal D for the flight to Zihua.......got to the gate and a couple minut s later they started boarding ......... L Andes in Zihua 30 minutes early only a few from the last plane ahead of us and we went through in no time.......we brough 2 first timer couples with us last year and 1 is now a 2nd timer........... We got the green light but they got the red light........ All good minor delay and we were out the door to look for the Grumpy sign.......... We met up with Eddy and we were off........it was nice and warm out ........ Mrs Grumpy upgraded us to plus so we were the second off the plane and there was no delay rot the wave of hot air to welcome us to Zihua........ We stopped at La Comer picked up som supplies, yes cervezas and wine........as well as some staples.......... Condo in Madera was great nice open views of the bay and the breeze flowing right in............felt like we just got back home........... Couple cold Victoria's later we hailed a cab and off to Pappas Loco....... Yum yum yum.........back to the condo for a night cap and off to bed........ It was a long day but felt good to be back seeing an old friend again......... Early up tomorrow to watch Madera wake up and off to Cafe Marina to start our day............. I think I counted 3 waves crashing and out like a light..........14 mores days of this.............we are feeling like we won the lottery......to be continued

Great work -and when I see you begin posting trip reports I know that I'll soon be there, too. 3 weeks and 2 days to go, but who's counting?
