For spring
break and the week after this year my family and are going to Puerto Vallarta
Mexico. We are leaving tomorrow morning super early for our flight at 4:00am. Our
family has rented a condo in a place called Puerto Fino, we rented the same
condo last year and I really liked it! Our complex has a huge pool, a snack
bar, a hot tub, and it’s right on the beach! I am very very excited to go on a
trip and get out of Winnipeg and the cold. The whole time that I’m there I’m
hoping to just lay around by the pool or beach and just relax and eat. I really
like to just have a good book, my iPod, and just tan. At night though I really
like to go downtown and just walk around. All of the little restaurants, shops,
and people in general are so interesting! There are always people performing
and dressed up as crazy things, it’s just a really cool experience! One other
thing that I really like to do is go on beach walks, I’m not too sure how well
that will go this year though because of my knee, but we’ll see, hopefully I’ll
be able to go on a few! Our complex is right on the beach so we can be at it at
all times. I prefer to lay by the pool though just so that sand doesn’t get
everywhere and its closer to things like the bathroom. One other thing that I
am really looking forward to on my trip is all of the different foods; I have
never been a picky eater, so I really like to try a bunch of new foods. My mom
likes to look up all these restaurants online and try out all of them, some of
them are kind of scary looking to have to eat there, or in the middle of nowhere,
but the food is almost always delicious. The last thing about my trip is that
for the first time ever on a trip we are going with another family for one of
the weeks. Every time that my family and I have gone on a trip, we just went as
a family, so this should be a different experience to have other people with
us. I am excited to go with other people, but I am also glad that we have a
week just to ourselves to relax.
I chose this
photo to represent my spring break trip because it is the exact pool that is in
my complex, Puerto Fino, where I am staying. This is where I plan on spending
most of my spring break just relaxing by the pool. In this picture the big
circle on the right side of the pool is kind of like a kiddie pool and then
there are stepping stones surrounding it. The rest of the pool is around five
and a half feet deep and there is a hot tub in the upper right hand corner of
this picture. There is also a fountain near this left side of the pool at the
top. You can also see the ocean and beach near the top of this picture. There
are lawn chairs surrounding the whole pool and there are some on the beach, there
are also little tables around the pool where you can have lunch and other meals
or snacks. Last year my family`s favourite pool spot was right beside the
bridge on the right side closer to the beach, it had a table right behind that
we used lots too. Our view from our balcony is pretty much the same angle as in
this picture, but it is a bit lower because our room is on the fourth floor. There
is also a snack shack that is right beside the pool, but it is cut off in this
picture, it would be on the left side if it was in the picture. The snack shack
had a whole bunch of options of all sorts of foods for breakfast, lunch,
dinner, snacks, and a lot of drinks. At the back of the snack shack there are
also bathrooms and change rooms. This is the place where my family and I will spend
most of our two weeks that we are in Mexico. I am really looking forward to
going back here and can`t wait to get there!
