Kirk works for a wholesale company and every year they put on a trip/conference for its top dealers. Last year they were in Whistler, this year they opted for Puerto Vallarta. Kirk has to work, but there was no way he was going without me, so I am along as a +1. I had to bring some work with me, but there are worse things than sitting on the balcony of your husband’s employer’s penthouse suite in Mexico and mark some papers and do some website work. Kirk and I came down early as Dave is building a new house and wanted Kirk to go through the wiring plans to make sure everything has been done properly according to his design. Meanwhile, I get to hang out here and do what I like for a couple of days, which has mostly been just enjoy the view, listen to the cicadas buzz, and watch the world go by. We move to the hotel tomorrow, and I hope to have all my work done by then so I can just wander the city, the beach, or just sit by the water and read the books I’ve brought along.
The first night we arrived we went out for a fabulous dinner at No Way Jose’s – fresh mahi mahi, fabulous. Then I was reminded of why I stopped drinking tequila many years ago…we just really don’t play nice together. So one could say that day 2 was relatively low key for all three of us. Although there was a lot of excitement when the Canucks won in those last few moments of the game.
One down, three to go!
It hasn’t rained here in about four months apparently, it’s pretty dry. Dave’s place is perched high on a hill overlooking Puerto Vallarta and the wind comes up to ease the heat in the afternoon, but the many of the trees and bushes are pretty bare of leaves. I thought I’d have all my website work done quickly, but it turns out I forgot some files at home on my desktop computer. Through the wonders of Mac I am able to access everything on my home computer remotely, I can even use the desktop back home, although it goes at a snail’s pace. Still, slow doesn’t really matter when you are looking out over the city and the sea, and enjoying the afternoon breeze on a sunny deck.
