Day 5 - April 18 (Wednesday)
The weather has changed! When we opened our veranda patio door, you could already feel the higher humidity at 7:00 a.m. What stood out the most, when we looked outside, was the amount of traffic already on the streets, and the large Wal Mart stored located next to the dock. Don said, "It looks like we are in the middle of a large U.S. city - except it has palm trees!" Our "Moms" decided to stay on the ship today, as they were tired from all the walking yesterday. The remainder of us disembarked to shop! We all managed to leave some money in Puerto Vallarta before returning to the ship. The photo shows our ship docked along side of another cruise ship. Makes for an interesting photo.

Margarita Time! Enjoying margaritas, cokes, and chips at a sidewalk cafe on the beach. We encountered many Mexican peddlers coming to our table trying to sell us all kinds of merchandise. We did buy several pieces of jewelry. Laura (seated on the left) is fantastic at buying the jewelry she wants at the price she wants. She's our champ!
A local Mariachi Band came on board before sailing and played some very enjoyable Mexican music. Of course, we had to have some margaritas while listening to them. Unlimited Pina Coladas were also featured which included a souvenir glass for only $11.75.
Dinner - Dinner was excellent and everyone was happy another night! The food was outstanding.

When we woke up this morning, with
our daily knock on the door with our coffee, we were already docked
at Puerto Vallarta. There is also another large cruise ship docked
next to ours. Actually two other cruise ships, besides our ship are
in port today. One ship from the Carnival line and another ship from
the Princess line. The cruise ship terminal is located in the
Marina area, just north of downtown Puerto Vallarta.
