Puerto Vallarta

To be honest, I didn't see much of Puerto. What I did see, didn't look too appealing. Sprawling habitation, a Walmart and a Sam's Club were on the north side the pier. The on-ship internet is ungodly expensive so, I went just off the boat to a $2/hr internet cafe and took care of some business. At the cafe, I met eyes with who I thought was an attractive Mexican girl.

I would find out later that she was actually a ship employee, and from Estonia (or Latvia or one of those Balkan places). Whoops.

Each day in port there are numerous shore excursions. You have to pick one, often times the best ones book up fast. I actually skipped out on these and caught up on rest from my Shanghai all nighters. Most were rather expensive, and the crew memebers I had met indicated they were rather lame. I would later recieve mixed reviews from friends.

The on-ship entertainment however, was rather good.
