I've been in Puerto Vallarta since Tuesday afternoon and this is my first writing from here on this trip. I am enjoying the t-shirt and shorts temperatures. The mornings have been cool, but the afternoons are simply lovely. These first couple of days I have been doing some preliminary stuff for getting a couple of dental implants -- x-rays and imaging yesterday, initial consultation today. It will be sometime next week for phase 1 part of the implants. 
This afternoon, we'll (Aaron and I) install a new washer/dryer unit in the apartment after picking up a couple of parts this morning. We pulled the old unit out yesterday.

I've enjoyed visiting with Aaron and watching him play softball. I'm looking forward to seeing some friends this weekend. 
I don't really think of my trips here as vacation time -- it's more like being retired in Mexico instead of Highlandville MO. I am just fine with keeping it simple and don't need to be entertained nor occupied all of the time. I'll probably spend some time reading a book on the beach tomorrow afternoon. 

Life here can be as simple or as busy as you like. Because it is a resort city and a prime tourist destination, there is an abundance of entertainment and a vivacious nightlife. There is always something to do or someplace to go -- even if something to do is dining in and reading a book or watching TV. 
Like at home, I tend toward the more simple side of life.
