...for a few days. It will be nice to visit PV when it's not steaming hot for a change. The humidity, combined with the heat, does do me in, a bit. However, it's winter in San Miguel and while the sun is still hot, there's a chilly wind that blows. Walking down our street, the sun is nice and hot - did we need to wear our long-sleeved shirts? Then, when we turn the corner to walk into town, the blast of cold air tells us, yes, that was the thing to do!
So, PV is running mid-80s this week - a good time to spend a few days there. Now if our airline wouldn't have changed our flight time from mid-afternoon to early evening it would have afforded us a bit more time in that fair city it's only an hour-long flight). Guess there won't be any sun bathing time today by the time we get to the resort.
And there won't be any really tasty muffins such as we were served the last time we flew TAR airlines from Queretero first thing in the morning. But we're flying out of León today much later in the day - pity! [Wonder if we have checked in online yet? Guess I could try to do so and find out if it's already been done....or just wait for Michael to wake up and ask him if he took care of it!]
And I guess there are no great plans for our time in PV: lie on the beach, lie around the pool, eat/drink, walk into town (maybe), shop at Liverpool for new khakis (the Liverpool in Cabo San Lucas doesn't "do" clothing and the one in San Miguel - up the hill - is up the hill which requires using a bus that's usually a bit on the worn side of it's life.)
The dogs have been shipped off to Creature Comforts for nearly a week as of yesterday. The house is quite quiet for a change. They'll enjoy their time there - a large separate area for the two of them, two walks a day through the campo (yes, even Miyake enjoys it when she deigns to participate in a walk), sent along their usual foods so no surprises there. And they'll be home on Friday (we return sometime on Thursday).
And now it's time for me to crawl back in bed for a couple more hours of sleep....

Cruising with Friends
The last time we cruised with this group, it was a larger group. We missed some of those missing this time; others not so much.
This time our packing had to include our costumes for Hallowe'en! The group included one Wendy, one Smee, one hungry crocodile (with tick-tocking clock) and a bunch of the lost boys dressed in disguise as animals. I was the crocodile and Michael was a fox. Although most of us didn't make it back to the Lounge for judging (didn't even check our telephone in the cabin until the next morning), our group came in second for Groups! Bravo to all those who braved costumes for drinks and dinner! But never again!
We've decided that we're done with Tortola after this trip. Saw very little of it as we transferred to St John's for a tour of that island. Which is beautiful!!! And the Rockefeller property is now a private hotel - right on the ocean. The property that was formerly a sugar plantation is great, too. Had a really interesting guide on the tour, even if he was a little too much into healthcare and the use of natural plants.
WDW was ideal. Our room at the Boardwalk was not the 'upper floor' that we had requested, but nicely furnished if a bit of a trek through corridors. It was close to boat transportation to the backdoor of EPCOT, though - which we used a lot. Got our commemorative tumblers, saw the new version of Soarin', used the various transportation options to visit Animal Kingdom/Lodge where we caught up with friends with whom we visited on last year's trip, the Party of the Senses (wonderful food and matching wines), all the little booths around 'the World', and even enjoyed the new ride in Norway - Frozen, of course.
The last morning found us waiting for our bus to the airport and thence onward to Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende. Thank goodness AeroMexico still believes in feeding us - for free - on the nonstop trip home.
When we finally woke up, the next day found us unpacking, washing, and waiting for the doglets to come home - which they eventually did! Now it's a few weeks at home and then it's off to Puerto Vallarta for a few days after Thanksgiving.
