christmas day. mass at the spinaker lounge. breakfast at the market cafe and devoured my millionth chocolate croissant of the entire trip. biscuits and gravy. orange juice. fruits and granola. take pictures with santa. open presents. napped on the balcony with mav to recover from a late christmas eve of shows and christmas caroling. dinner at versailles with my familia and enjoyed the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin soufflé with vanilla ice cream. :)

Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta seemed to be the most commercialized destination we visited among the 3 vacation spots but still carried a serene and relaxing vibe.





We visited the famous Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, one of the main focal points in Puerto Vallarta's skylines and had lunch at Margarita Grill where they served freshly made salsa, and I had the best tortilla soup, mango margarita and a molcajetes that I shared with my mom which was something different but good.




I didn't get to tan much, but I did get my play time with Maverick on the beach... this boy loves the water more than me..

it's a completely different experience traveling with your family-- and a large group to add to that note. i could lay in a beach all day, but my parents love visiting the churches and seeing the sights, so we did a city tour where some parts reminded me of the philippines. we had lunch at this amazing mexican/seafood restaurant where i ordered something i could've gotten at giovanni's or mackey's shrimp truck from hawaii and then played in the beach with mavs till we headed back to our ship..

I hear a lot of mixed reviews about this spot, but personally, I absolutely love Cabo. I'm a beach gal so I think this place is breathtaking. I came here 2 years ago and it is exactly just as I remembered and there's really something magical about the rock formations. We rode a glass bottom boat during the sunset around the world famous arch, lovers beach, and divorce beach... If only we had more days to spend here... :) it was beautiful. oh and not to mention- the food was off the hook. i love mexican food!!
