June invited me to come along on her annual January get-away to Acapulco. How could I resist?
Belive it or not, this is the ONLY picture I had with all of us. From left, myself, June, her brother Steve, and his girlfriend Cherlynn. |
Being an 'all-inclusive' package, it was non-stop drinking and eating, at least for the first 3 days for me. Then I caught a dose of 'Montezuma's revenge'. That slowed me down considerably. This was at a "free sample" bar at the duty free shop in Acapulco. |
From the pool area, a view of where we stayed - the Fairmont Princess - Nice joint! |
Ceiling of the main lobby at night. Kinda cool. |
One of several swimming pools. Nice joint! |
Rope bridge going to Chula Vista - spanning one of the swimming pools. I avoided this bridge during my 2-day 'slow down'. |
Another view from the pool - June's pretty left foot. |
View of the beach at sunset from the hotel. |
On the beach. |
Steve likes to body surf. June and I prefer a Boogie board. |
Steve catches a wave. You can barely see him in there. |
The girls greet him with the traditional gate welcome. |
June, Cherlynn, and the most photographed parrot in Acapulco. |

Speaking of food..this showed up on a plate that June ordered. Something between a lobster and a crawdad. She attacked it like it was her last meal (kidding). |
Everywhere is a party. This little gig was in our most-visited dining area - Chula Vista. |
We played 3.5 rounds of golf while we were there. 2.5 at the home course of the hotel.
Steve is an 8 handicap, so he pretty much showed us how it was done.
The Fairmont home course. Very nice! |
The following pictures are from our last round at Tres Vidas.
Beautiful course, and very hard. Moguls, sand, and water everywhere.
Thanks to June for these pics!
Hole #1 - a par 5 with an island green. Steve and I both went way to the back of the green, then chipped back downhill. Painful! |
Hole #3 - par 3, 176 yds. I used too much club (4 wood?) and went WAY over the green. |
Hole #6 - Talk about sand! Ocean on the right. Steve and I both hit up against the wall in front of the green and took a drop. |
Hole #9 - heading for the ocean. June played great this day. Mostly safe and down the middle. Hmmm.. orange shirt and orange ball. Coincidence? I think not. |
Hole #12 - maybe the best shot of the day for me. Played about 180 yds. into the wind. I had about 10 ft. for birdie. Missed it! |
Hole #15 - Looks like my weight is on my front foot. Better fix that! |
