01/04/2005 - Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico

We left Punta Mita with mixed emotions. We were there for only a month but yet it felt like home and therefore we were sad to leave. The locals treated us like their own family and neighbor and we will remember them forever. On the other hand, the familiar feeling of excitement and yet another adventure to be experienced encouraged us to pull up anchor and continue with our journey south. We are now in Nuevo Vallarta at the beautiful Paradise Village Marina www.paradisevillage.com We plan to leave here on Jan. 9th.

We are waiting anxiously for Barb to arrive on the 5th. She is one of our closest friends and has been one of the many friends-family who have supported our adventure. We are absolutely thrilled that she is going to be joining us as crew from our leg from Nuevo Vallarta to Zihuatanejo. We plan to arrive in Ztown on Jan. 20th and will be there for several weeks, so a good opportunity for others to join us after Jan. 20th. Hint, hint.

We want everybody to know that you are welcome at any time to come and join us. Please write and let us know if there is even the slightest, remotest possibility that you can head south with us. We will work out the details later but need to know if you are interested so we can keep you up to date on our latest plans. Hope the new year is treating you all well!
