January 2, 2016. Nuevo Vallarta. A Travel Day.

Everything went well today.  The airplanes left on time.  Wheelchairs were ready to help us when we deplaned.  The attendants were pleasant, attentive and energetic, the planes arrived on time, and our two bags and one walker were waiting for us after we cleared customs.   For everything to work as it was intended was astonishing to us.   The food was even good flying from Dallas to Puerto Vallarta.   In addition, the lady was at the airport to oversee getting us to the resort.  We were on a roll.  It may never happen again, but we appreciate the efficiency.

The staff at the Hard Rock Hotel and Resort is as good as any staff in the world.   I recall from years past how they operate at such a high level, but I am surprised and delighted that the standards have not slipped.   After dinner tonight, the waiter walked me all the way to the elevator while another waiter accompanied Ken to be sure he would get back safely.  We have two butlers, here to attend to our every needs.  Our room is on the top floor where we can watch the sun set from our balcony.  We are both going to enjoy being indulged.  At the moment, we are grateful to be here but we are weary from our early start and our travels.   Even travel days where everything works properly is tiring.  I wonder why?
