I’m almost home! Have you been worried about me? Well you should have been! I’ve been on a press trip to Mexico and we stayed at the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort Hotel and Spa. Wait, this isn’t the reason you should have been worried about me! I adore Mexico, and the hotel was fantastic and very family friendly. Besides, I’m queen of lying on the beach, soaking up the sun, swimming in the pool, ordering a frozen cocktail and taking advantage of all the amenities a nice hotel has to offer. But this trip, I was way WAY outside my comfort zone. On this trip I was fierce!
I kissed and swam with dolphins at Dolphin Discovery.
No, I rode dolphins! That’s a happy face, not a scared one! Seriously!
I conquered the jungle!
Zip lines, repelling, white water rafting and riding mules at Canopy River!
I snorkelled with teeny Jelly Fish? I didn’t mean to. Zap. Zap. Zap. No harm done!
I hiked, took selfies in waterfalls, and ventured into tiny fishing villages through the areas of Yelapa & Majahuitas thanks to Vallarta Adventures.
I got off the beaten path, took a local food tour and ate street meat?
Who does this? Apparently I do!! If I’m with one of Vallarta’s Food Tours.
Quite frankly I don’t even know who I am any more! I am very possibly the Mom my kids have always wanted me to be. I’m brave, adventurous and free. I explored as much of Puerto Vallarta as I possibly could in four days and can’t wait to give you my recommendations for the family friendly tours and must do’s in some of the most unique and untouched areas of Puerto Vallarta. But first; I need a nap!

zip lining looks super awesome
Janice says
To be honest, I usually only think about these kinds of holidays as something to do during the winter, but now you have me thinking! Maybe a quick getaway after the kids are out of school would be a good idea! The price is right and it looks like there is so much to do!
Stephanie says
I am one who is always planning my next vacation, but will also admit heading south in June was not something I had considered until now! The price really is right, and since we are coming back to sun, we didn’t feel like we had to spend every moment soaking up rays, we were free to explore, rest, and just enjoy! 🙂 Vacations in June could easily become a tradition!

wow it looks like you had an amazing time. Not sure if I would try some of the things you did as I would be scared BUT so would love to go there
Stephanie says
To be honest I had to really PUSH myself to do that zip lining, but I am so glad that I did! This is now one of those trips I will never forget!
