We put Priscilla on the plane home to Dallas yesterday. I always enjoy our visits, though of late they never seem to last long enough. Leaving the airport, the realization set in that we would be returning home to Calgary soon ourselves.
It's been a truly amazing month here in Puerto Vallarta. The point of this extended visit was not to discover if we liked it here - we proved that theory many visits ago. Rather, it was to see if we could potentially live here long-term, once our work permitted it. It's safe to say we answered that with a resounding YES! as well.
Which is not to say we won't visit other places in the meantime. We've spoken recently of a trip to the Baja in the spring. Probably not a big tourist destination like Cabo San Lucas, but instead someplace a bit more "authentic" like Loreto or La Paz. The real discovery this time for us is that we truly like observing the local people and not so much the vacationing masses.
Fortunately, Puerto Vallarta is a diverse enough destination to offer many slices of life. We've enjoyed wandering its streets and neighbourhoods, haunting its coffee shops and taquerias and simply admiring life in the tropics.
So, as we prepare to head back to Canada it will be with a mixed sense of excitement for home and regret of leaving such a wonderful place. And of course, counting the days to our next visit...
