Hola Puerto Varallta from The Ransons

Flight went well (Thanks Don for taking us at 5am!) and when we arrived in Mexico, we were ready for some sun and fun. The resort, hotel room and entire experience bypassed our expectations. To was a beautiful, tropical paradise - my first experience at an all-inclusive and that was just what the Dr. ordered for us. The resort had 3 pools and was a 2 min walk to beach - oh yeah and one of the pools was an infinity pool looking out to the ocean. A dream! Our room had an extra big bed and the "partial" view to the ocean had a few trees off to the side and a jacuzzi on the balcony. Amazing! Too bad I got burned on our first full day there so Ron was the only one who enjoyed jacuzzi but the tub in the room was Amazing ---I would say that my fav adjective is AMAZING - you know when you are just in a wonderful state of mind and heart and you experience something....the food, the swimming, the music, the service - it all was perfect. Our honeymoon was well worth the planning and we enjoyed every minute. In my down time I read 3 books - I said to myself, so this is what I did before I ran behind a 1.5 yr old! haha

Here are some of our pics - including our underwater pics.

WE LOVE THE OCEAN!
