We took a little trip to the Royal Decameron All Inclusive Resort in Mexico (just north
of Puerto Vallarta) on January 5th. Weather was excellent and we had a great time.

The town of Bucerias is about a 20 minute walk from the complex. This is a "hard" walk
on the cobble roads and sloping sidewalks. You need good walking shoes.
