Randy and I had an amazing oppourtunity of visiting Mexico for our one year anniversary. It was UNREAL! We went on a 7 day cruise with Carnival that stopped at Cabo San Lucas for two days and Puerto Vallarta for one day. Not only was the time in the cities fun, but the crew and atmosphere of the ship was awesome.
Our first day in Cabo San Lucas, we went on a mini jeep tour with Rhinos (double seater four wheelers.) Sadly, I forgot my camera that day, and I will forever beat myself up for it. Randy and I took turns driving it, and we went across the beach, through huge cactus deserts, and up very steep rocky hills. It was crazy! A guy that was with us on the excursion overheard that we had forgot our camera and offered to take some pictures for us to email to me. He took quite a few pictures of us, but I haven't heard from him yet. If I ever get them, I'll post them back on here! I'm really hoping he sends them to me! Here is an online picture I found of our excursion.
Our second day in Cabo San Lucas, we decided to take a more laid back day and go on a horseback ride. This time I remembered to take my camera! We rode through cactus deserts and across the beach as well, it was very relaxing.
Now.... Puerto Vallarta. MY FAVORITE. I had been told by a number of people to do the ziplining in Puerto Vallarta before we left on our cruise. When we looked at all the excursion options, that was the one at the top of the list - apparently it's the best thing to do there. We decided to go all out and to the EXTREME canopy adventure.
We were first taken by boat for about 15 minutes to a beach. Randy got stung by a bee on his neck right before we got on the boat. :( He was okay and in no pain immediately after though.

From there we got on huge yellow Mercedes army trucks that took us up the mountain. That was a very bumpy/crazy ride! We were flying all over the place!
When we got there, they strapped us in our ziplining gear. Then we hopped on some mules and rode up to the ziplines.
There was a total of about 13 ziplines, 2 repelling spots, and about 5 little obstacles that included bridges and ropes. We were completely immersed in water because we did it all right by a waterfall. All in the middle of Puerto Vallarta's beautiful rainforest climate. It was so surreal. I now consider this adventure the coolest thing I have ever done in my entire life. The pictures say enough.
When we were done, they had fresh salsa, chips, quesedillas and beans for us to eat - REALLY good. It started to rain really hard, and we were already soaking from the waterfall that I didn't even care. It was warm and refreshing, nothing like I have ever felt in my life. I kept telling all the locals that I was going to move there, I fell in love with Puerto Vallarta.
Checked this adventure off our Bucket List! Randy and I will never hesitate to go back to Mexico, we absolutely loved it!!!
HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH ME AND MY SCHWEETIE!!!
WE'RE EXCITED TO SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER!
