We have a trip scheduled soon that may or may not be interrupted by this super active hurricane season. Luckily, we have trip insurance and a tentative back-up plan to visit Puerto Vallarta if a hurricane barrels down on our original island of choice. So, this week I prepared what one day in Puerto Vallarta might look for us.
Since this last minute trip would actually be less expensive than the originally planned travel, I would use that extra cash to buy this gorgeous dress. I adore orange and gray together, and the hints of aqua make it even more playful and fun.
One of my first stops in Puerto Vallarta would be the Malecon, a paved ocean-side walkway featuring shops, restaurants, and a collection of outdoor sculptures.
For lunch, I'd head to the new Cafe des Artistes del Mar. As you'll see, I've already made dinner plans, but I don't want to miss the chance to sample Chef Thierry Blouet's creations. Since his original restaurant, the gorgeous Cafe des Artistes Bistro is only open for dinner, I can settle for fresh tuna and salmon tartar and a smoked salmon “Croque Monsieur” from the lunch menu at it's sister restaurant.
I'd spend the afternoon in a private nook by the pretty pool at the NH Krystal hotel.
Maybe a dip in one of the many hot tubs, just in case the Mexican sun isn't quite warm enough.
Now, I normally don't go in for ultra-touristy activities when I travel. However, I can't resist the lure of dinner and entertainment on a PIRATE ship, ARRGGHH!
I mean, seriously, look at how much fun these people are having! Hands up high and wave, wave ye' tourists!
