doyoulikevacationsDear Diary — if Bridget Jones visited Puerto Vallarta
Dear Diary,
Oh, how do I even begin to describe the magical paradise that is Puerto Vallarta? It’s like a swoon-worthy romance novel come to life, with its sun-kissed beaches, vibrant culture, and endless margaritas. My husband and I have been living here for several months, yet we’ve barely scratched the surface of this enchanting coastal town. So, Diary, let me share with you my tips, recommendations, and hilarious misadventures in Puerto Vallarta.
Day 1: Arrival and Love at First Sight
Diary, you won’t believe the instant connection I felt when we first arrived in Puerto Vallarta. The warm embrace of the sun, the refreshing ocean breeze, and the joyful ambiance of the Malecón stole my heart right away. So, my dear reader, start your journey by taking a leisurely stroll along the Malecón, indulging in the mesmerizing views of the Pacific Ocean and the captivating sculptures that line the promenade.
Day 2: Beach Bumming and Sunscreen Disasters
Oh, Diary, our quest for the perfect beach day didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Picture this: me, attempting to apply sunscreen gracefully, only to end up with white streaks on my face and a sandy mess in my hands. Tip number one: when it comes to sunscreen, embrace your inner Picasso and blend it in thoroughly. Once you’ve conquered that challenge, head to Playa Los Muertos for a day of sunbathing, people-watching, and maybe even joining a spontaneous beach volleyball game.
Day 3: Tacos and Tequila Galore
Diary, let me tell you, Puerto Vallarta knows how to tantalize taste buds. Indulge in a culinary adventure by sampling the mouthwatering street tacos at El Carboncito. Be brave, Diary, and try the spicy salsa. Just make sure you have a glass of water nearby. Then, quench your thirst with some authentic tequila at La Cervecería Union. But Diary, remember to pace yourself; you don’t want to end up dancing on tables like in that infamous scene from Dirty Dancing.
Day 4: Exploring the Hidden Gems
Today, Diary, we ventured off the beaten path to discover Puerto Vallarta’s hidden treasures. We hopped on a water taxi to the secluded village of Yelapa, a paradise where time seems to stand still. We swam in crystal-clear waters, hiked to enchanting waterfalls, and devoured the most scrumptious seafood at a humble beachside shack. It was an adventure filled with laughter, sunshine, and the occasional mosquito bite.
Day 5: Cultural Delights and Salsa Lessons
Diary, it’s time to embrace the vibrant culture of Puerto Vallarta. Immerse yourself in the rich history at the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, an architectural masterpiece that will leave you in awe. Then, put on your dancing shoes and join a salsa lesson at one of the local dance studios. Trust me, Diary, my two left feet didn’t stop me from shaking my hips and laughing until my sides hurt.
Day 6: Sunset Romance and Mariachi Serenades
Tonight, Diary, we experienced a romantic sunset cruise along Banderas Bay. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, a mariachi band serenaded us with love songs. It was pure magic, Diary. So, find a special someone or gather your friends and embark on your own sunset adventure. Just be prepared for those heartfelt ballads that will make your heart skip a beat.
Day 7: Farewell, Puerto Vallarta (for now)
Alas, Diary, our time in Puerto Vallarta has come to an end. We packed our suitcases, said our goodbyes, and promised to return soon. Puerto Vallarta, with its stunning beaches, warm hospitality, and laid-back charm, will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
So there you have it, Diary, a whirlwind of laughter, sunshine, and margaritas in the beautiful Puerto Vallarta. I hope my Bridget Jones-esque escapades inspire you to embark on your own adventure in this Mexican paradise. Until next time, adiós!
Yours adventurously,
Bridget Jones
