Which place did you like better? Any good stories about the trip?

The places where very different. I liked them both for different reasons. The Villa Del Palmar was very nice/fancy looking and they had a lot of activities/pools/hot tub etc... You never had to leave the resort for anything because everything was right there. That was nice in it's own way. The only thing is that everything was expensive ($5 for a corona in Mexico? Common.) and you basically would be harrassed about timeshare seminars until you attended one. The Bungalows was more relaxed of an atmosphere and the breakfast was really nice. They were more of an "at home" kind of place, but you had to leave to eat or get drinks or whatever because they weren't a "resort". They also weren't directly on the beach like the Palmar, but it was a nice place to go relax for a couple days, and was close enough to the town to walk around and get to see more of the area (if you don't mind constantly being sold to). Also, you didn't have to get up at the break of dawn to get a chair in the shade by the pool area.

Thanks for liking my site. I didn't realize how easy it was, or I would have done it a long time ago.

The ocean there was unbelievable. The sky never had clouds in it, which made it look even better. The only problem was getting good pictures at the right time without getting people in the view of them.

In the picture labeled "oops", is it labeled as such because Joel sat on something uncomfortable, or because he soiled himself? Or both? I can't tell.

He soiled himself while riding through the bouncy trails on an ATV.

Yeah, I was kidding. We tried to make it look like he accidently sat on a cactus, but the sun wasn't right so it just looks like he soiled himself or something because you can't really see the cactus that well :-)
