Puerto Penasco, Mexico - The Honeymoon

Otherwise known as Rocky Point, Mexico by those from Arizona. I don't know why because I don't think it is a literal translation. It doesn't matter, but this place was great. It is like a little paradise just hours (four hours driving from Phoenix, AZ) from the United States border. We stayed in this great resort right on the beach. For very little money a night we got a one bedroom, one bathroom condo with full kitchen and living room, and an ocean view balcony. Since we were there at the end of the off season as well as during the week, we had the whole place to ourselves. I am serious, there wasn't a soul around.

One of the highlights of our trip was a Fiesta Cruise Dinner which was suppose to include a two hour boat ride during sunset and dinner. We got it for free. Well, we had to spend three hours of our lives to get it, and that's another story, but once again no cash involved. The cruise ended up being as ghetto as could be, but the sunset was beautiful and one of the couples shared some fireworks with us. It turned out to be a great adventure.

Other than relaxing every day we ate a lot of food. There are some good places to eat if you go around town. We looked up several places on the Internet to see what people recommended as well as asked the natives. I don't think we were disappointed at any place. For dinner one evening we ordered a seafood platter. They said it would feed two, but they didn't mention after the two of you ate there would still be enough food for two more dinners. It was huge, but tasty.

While there Michelle and I worked on our tennis game. We soon found out that we have a lot of work to do and I don't think we will be going professional any time soon.

I definitely think we will return to vacation there again. We didn't know what to expect at first, but it turned out to be wonderful. Maybe we will buy a vacation home there. I think that would be nice.
