Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!  Okay, this is the day!  Our first full day in Puerto Vallarta, the day of the Lord and the day we signed up for timeshare sales presentation!  Oh yeah, they don't call them "timeshares" anymore, they are "fractional ownership resorts!"  Anyway, we knew it would be high pressure, we knew it would be long (THREE DAMN HOURS!), but we got a free bottle of tequila for listening to the pitch so why not?  We figure since that costs about $6 bucks (Hey, it ain't Patron, ok?) it works out to about $2 dollars an hour (actually $1/hour for each of us), and that's better than we'd get being greeters at Walmart in Baton Rouge, so why not?

So here's the deal.  As it turns out, we LOVED the place and we were TOTALLY sold on the price, the package and the deal.  So we bought one!  OH HELL YEAH!  Actually, we bought three weeks!  Oh Yeah, Baby!  But we knew that we'd never have the money to pay for the units (or the credit to qualify for financing), so we just made up names, an address and social security numbers.  Come on - it's not like we stole someone's ID - we just made stuff up!  Besides, it sure made our sales guy happy and because of our sale he was saleman of the week!  It's all good right? 

Anyway, we figured we shouldn't hang around too long after the sale because they probably were running the credit and learning that the names didn't match the address or the social security numbers we gave them.  We wandered off down the beach and ended up an hour or so later in the coastal town of Bucerias.  Ok, it's not high on the list of tourist stops in Mexico, but it was a GREAT place to have dinner, drink waaaaay too much cerveza and get to know the "real" locals.  Okay, the restraunt owner is from Switzerland and the only other customer was an ex-pat from Sun Valley, Idaho, but the cook was born in Mexico.  Besides, while Stacy chatted up the owner and the cook, Kevin snuck behind the bar and "borrowed" a few more beers.  We crawled back down the beach in total darkness, fell asleep for awhile in some sand dunes and finally made it to our hotel (not our new timeshare!).   And it's GREAT, because tomorrow is Monday, we still have the bottle of free tequila and...

      
HEY!  We owned three weeks here for about an hour!                        Ahhh, the Locals - guess who's really Mexican!

      
Kevin scored free drinks!              We have the Tequila and the contact isn't worth the paper it's written on!
