I think Dave Hyde's suggestion is an excellent one. I am not necessarily
partial to warm climates but I do like Spanish speaking places. Although, I
would have to say I have heard more Spanish spoken in Miami than in Puerto
Vallarta.
There was a major storm Kim on Monday but we just got strong rain, no damage.
It actually freshened things up nicely.
Although I had no problems at customs with my Seeing Eye dog, nor here at the
Villa, I have run into a couple places that have tried to reject us. In both
cases, my explanations were not heeded so I just walked ahead against their
protestations. Sure makes one appreciate normal open access.
