No time for girlie men here!
Remind her in a sweet but manly voice that
she does not need to over pack those bags you have to hump around the
airports and through Customs! Tell her that Ron said she will be
arrested for over packing. That way it is my fault not yours. We manly
men must stick together or pack a back brace. To help convince
her, many airlines
have imposed a 50 pound limit for each bag and you can only have 2 checked
bags per person. Now is the time to start reminding her
that she is special and special people do not need 5 dresses and 10
pairs of shoes in Mexico. So to help her out, here is a short
list of things you can recommend that she bring, let her think this is
her idea though. Now if all else fails and she is not
buying into your plan, tell her this "Honey be sure to leave room in
the luggage for all the stuff your going to buy there and remember Ron
saying
that 50 pounds is the limit per bag" again it can be my fault!
Good luck men!
Remember that Puerto Vallarta is in the tropics and sometimes there are bugs, be sure to keep counters cleaned off! We do spray monthly to control them but ants can sense a cookie crumb a block away. Also remember that our home is on the ocean and thus you will have sea air breezes which are truly wonderful, if you bring any electronics with you be sure to put them in a case or use those zip lock bags for cameras, cookies and chips or anything that you want to keep fresh. The air is more moist on the oceanfront than a block away.
There is WIFI internet service throughout the villa and you may need to disable your WEP setting. I removed the security keys so that any laptop with wireless card can log on easily so your computer should find the signal easily. If not your external or internal wireless card has "Enabled" WEP security keys you will need to "Disable" the security keys while you are in Mexico. This is usually done by clicking "Disable".
Have a computer geek or nerdy friend do this for you or show you how. It is fairly easy to do!
Keep in mind you are coming to Mexico which is very tropical. You may experience a power outage during your stay, especially during the time between May to October when the rains and storms hit the area. We can not guarantee or control the weather, power girds or internet connection, but experience has proven that the outage (if any) will be short lived if you experience one.
