Puerto Vallarta, February 18-22, 2026 - the first trip of 2026

I was hoping you'd be able to stay on one of the boats if you were going to be stuck for a few days. Much better than the floor of the aeroporto!

Well that's working out ok.  Now it probably feels like an extended vacation.  Still, keep a low profile and get out safely.  Dominick

The shelter in place recommendation has been lifted by the US Embassy and things are getting back to sorta "normal":

There sure was a lot of non-helpful propagation of misinformation and fake or misleading video and photos going around the internet. It must have been even worse for affected folk that were getting their "news" from their social media feeds. 

Hope that the rest of the trip for Alan and crew is uneventful.

On THIS the Canadian news has been better than the US news.
