WE DON'T JUST WANT TO SAVE THE WHALES - WE WANNA COLLECT THE WHOLE SET!

Hold on tight - IT'S THURSDAY!  Folks, you are gonna love this day, you're gonna love Mexico and you're gonna love us!   We hit on the perfect scam here in Mexico and all of you will get to share in it!  It's win-win-win all around, so here's the deal - we were walking down the beach ("... a man walks into a bar," yada, yada, yada) and saw another new condo project offering a free dolphin watching boat ride if we just listened to the sales pitch.  Well, since we already knew how those go, and since we can't afford to buy a timeshare anyway, we convinced the sales agent to give us the dolphin tour tickets in return for some qualified sales leads!

GUESS WHAT ALL OF YOU ARE GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS!  That's right, a free night's stay at a timeshare project here in Puerto Vallarta!  You only have to listen to a brief five hour, low pressure sales presentation.  And better yet, you don't even have to worry about calling to set it all up - we gave them all your home phone numbers since we had our address book with us!  Hey, are we good friends or what?  When was the last time someone got you a FREE night (with complimentary beverage) at a timeshare resort in Mexico?  Don't worry, they'll be calling soon and often.

But let's not dwell on how we take of those who take care of us.  Let's talk about the dolphin watching boat ride.  Look, we've all heard the rumors for years that dolphin meat is much sweeter than tuna, so we figured this was a great opportunity to check it out.  Since we think gill nets are for sissies, we rented a harpoon gun at a local dive shop (Chico's - not kidding!) and man does that thing kick when it shoots explosive tipped darts!  Let's just say that Flipper didn't have a chance.  Kevin hit him mid-jump at about 100 yards and you should've heard the kids on the boat scream their appreciation for his shooting skill.  Okay, the tour operator was a little pissed and the World Wildlife Federation is seeking legal action, but if dolphins are supposed to be so smart, how come they don't shoot back?  By the way, it was all rumors anyway.  The meat is tough and a bit salty, nothing like Starkist with pickles and mayonaise - it reaffirmed Stacy's vegetarian lifestyle.  Anyway, now we're off to have a few cervezas to wash out the dolphin taste, you all sit by your phones because we're sure the timeshare place will be calling soon and...

      
At "pre-sale" prices you all are getting a GREAT deal!            Your trip includes free airport transfers by luxury coach!

      
Kevin rented the harpoon gun for just 50 pesos!              Stacy joined the tour while Kevin sneeked the gun aboard.

    OK how do you say "Please don't call us anymore" in Spanish? We only know French and German in our house and the damn phone keeps ringing of the hook! Our dogs think its some kind of signal to chase the cats, so our home looks like it did after you guys left last August. We had just about gotten back to a peaceful existence when Jose calls and says "Kevin say you like beach!" Friends like you guys are hard to find!(maybe we shouldn't have looked). Keep smiling!!
