Hey Shannon – to be honest, the volcano boarding was the most dangerous part of my trip to Central America – so now you know what to avoid! Seriously though, the usual traveler’s common sense will ensure you have a safe and rewarding adventure to that region of the world…

And don’t forget that Mexico alone has an incredible amount to offer travelers. I’ve been ‘stuck’ in this country for almost 5 months now, not wanting to leave at all and loving it more and more everyday!

That story about volcanic shards stuck into your person doesn’t have me too reassured about traveling to Central America! Thanks for the tips on safety over there – it’s reassuring to know that other women are over there doing it. I can’t believe I’m just happening upon your blog, I look forward to reading your adventures too!

Earl – Well it all depends, but it’s looking like I’m going to Mexico in January if the other thing you’ve been helping me with falls through. But I think it will be more like Puerto Escondido area.

Hey Derek – So you’re definitely heading down to Mexico? Sayulita or elsewhere?

Abigail’s comment made me laugh out loud.

I love it when people comment on blogs calling the author the wrong name…especially when your name is right in the URL.

Someone called me Sean Ogle after they had purchased my product once. Pretty funny.

Anyway, sorry to hear you’re leaving Mexico right when I’m getting ready to make my way there.

Keep on rocking it Harvey Milk.

Hey Nate – here’s the ghost tale! I was informed before I arrived at the ranch that there were often various inexplicable occurrences there. One night I was watching a movie at about midnight while everyone else was sleeping. I suddenly looked up and saw a human figure walk right in front of the window next to me which is not normal for that time of night. About five minutes later, the owner of the ranch randomly came into the room where I was sitting. He told me that he just woken up from a terrible dream in which some strange man entered his house and was pestering him about his businesses. He told me that in his dream he spoke to the strange man and said “Leave me alone. I want you to walk out of my house, take the path through the garden and leave through the gate at the back.” Oddly enough, the figure I saw was on the path leading to the gate at the exact same time he claimed his dream had occurred.

And I agree with you about PV…getting away from the tourists is not so difficult over there and makes it quite a rewarding place to spend some time. I had a blast for those two days!

Derek,
I hope you will come back to Mexico in December or January! I’ll be in Mexico and beginning my adventure by the middle of December.
Are you headed to Florida?
Hugs to you wherever you are

I have to say I’m intrigued about your ghost story since I’m a fan of the paranormal and have had some experiences myself.

All in all, sounds like an awesome trip. I absolutely love Puerto Vallarta….probably the LEAST exotic place you went, but a cool city nonetheless. When my wife and I go we stay in the ‘old town’ part of the city away from the tourist crap. Great people, wonderful food and pure relaxation. Not much more you can ask for!
