Have planned our shore activities

[West Vancouver Cruiser]

We are leaving on Mariner on Dec 13. Have been to the west coast of Mexico numerous times but are looking forward to it nonetheless. Here are our plans so far:

1. Cabo: We plan to get off the ship as soon as we can. We will walk the Marina to Senior Greenberg's restaurant (near the designer mall) where there is free internet with a purchase. From there we will walk over to Medano beach, where we will stay for a couple of hours (will rent a kayak if seas aren't too rough). Early afternoon we will walk back to the dock and meet our friends who don't like to get an early start. We will take a walk over to the Pacific side. I have keys to my sister's condo at Terrasol Beach Resort (5 min walk from the dock). We will show our friends, and also check out the Playa Grande next door. Our friends are time share owners and they may wish to book there in future (beautiful place). Happy hour there is 2pm I believe so we may get a drink at poolside. Back to the ship when we are ready.

2. Mazatlan: Once again we will get off to an early start. We have booked massages and I have booked a manicure and pedicure at Aroma in downtown Mazatlan for 9am (el cheapo but reviews are excellent). Mid-day we will take the water taxi over to stone island. We will have lunch there and hang out at the beach for a couple of hours.

3. Puerto Vallarta: We plan to do the 6 h pass at Dreams Resort ($45), after that we will swing by Walmart to check out the merchandise (love drinking glasses I picked up there last time) before walking back to the ship.

Other ideas? It isn't too late for us to modify our plans.

in P. Vallarta also check Galleria Mall - Liverpool -next to Walmart. Nice shoppingarea, the foodcourt has a nice view over the port and cruiseships.
