December 25, 2011. Playa Royale, Nuevo Vallarta. Christmas Day.

We are back in our condo at Playa Vallarta, with everything out of the locker and in place.  So far, we have no food, except eight lemons we brought from the tree at Villa Number 5.  We are happy to be back.   The Villa was beautiful but the hotel/time share was very busy and everyone was on vacation to be spending one week at Paradise Village so we were not inclined to pay attention to anyone.  We stayed by ourselves in our Villa.  Here at Playa Royale, the staff calls you by name and when you walk around you recognize people, so you feel that you are at home.

I must say, this is the most unusual Christmas for us.  In other years,  when we were giving our family time with the in-laws, we have been around other people.  One year we took a cruise and by Christmas Day had made friends to enjoy but this year we are really alone.  Fortunately, we like each others company so we are happy.  in future years,  I have already figured out a better system.  We plan to spend Christmas in a city where we have relatives.  We will enjoy the city and we will spend the holiday season with our relatives.  The only problem is that Ken does not do well in cold weather and all our relatives live in the cold.  This could be a problem.  Perhaps Vancouver will be the first test for our new system.

Ken and I will laugh about this Christmas, the one we were alone...together.
