When I got home from the Neuvo Vallarta trip, I looked at the great albums with a travelogue that we have kept for so long. Thanks mainly to Dick who made note each night when he tracked the expenses.
We bought the timeshare at Mayan Palace - now Grand Mayan - in March 2001. We were in a Marriot timeshare at the Marina in Puerto Vallarta and went on our first timeshare sell's pitch. Long story - but we did buy. Dick had just retired and was ready to travel. Over Christmas week we stayed in Acapulco and had a great time. We have pictures but that was before the PAGES travelogues. In 2002 we made an undocumented trip to the resort between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. We did like the town of Playa del Carmen -- when we return several years later, it had changed drastically.
Our first road trip in Mexico was from 2/28 to 3/20, 2004. I was working full time at OCC and we were escaping the Michigan winter. We flew into Mexico City, rented a car and stayed for a couple of days in Puebla. We drove to Oaxaca and stayed for four days. I bought my Mexican rug from the place where it was woven. Next stop was Cuernavaca - lovely town where Diego Rivera painted a mural covering the history of Mexico. We finished our road trip in Acapulco, stayed at the Mayan Palace and drove on to Taxco - known for their silver. We loved our quaint hotel overlooking the city - but it was a
holiday and they had a parade playing music all night. I have my silver necklace and some great pictures to remind me. It is the one and only time we flew though Mexico City.
