    That looks like a good time

    Why didn’t you get the Large?🤣

    I’m jealous. We used to go pretty much yearly, but it’s been several years since my feet have touched the sands of a beach. I think it was Cabo in 2018🥲.

    Thanks for the comments and well wishes. To answer a few questions. Yes, I did retire. Turned 65 on January 1st and decided 50+ years working was enough. Really enjoying it.

    We are currently in Puerto Vallarta. Absolutely love it here. We don't own a place but have a timeshare.

    We normally come down for 2 weeks but decided to do 3 this year because our daughter got married on the beach this past Wednesday. It was absolutely beautiful.

    Here's my current situation...

    My dream is for that to be my view every morning when I wake up. Probably never happen, but maybe at least a few weeks out of the year.
