After 3 amazing months in Europe, we are heading to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to stay at the Grand Mayan at the Vidanta Luxury Resort. Our journey there was a whirlwind trek. We flew from London to Paris where we picked up our eight suitcases, wagon, and random items from Joe’s cousin where we were storing them. Then, the next morning, we woke up early to drop off our rental car and catch our flight to New York. We stayed at our Airbnb in New York from midnight to about 4:30 in the morning to catch our next flight to Puerto Vallarta. To say the least, we were exhausted by the end of this adventure and were ready to relax. Thankfully, we can relax at the beautiful Vidanta Resort where we will be staying for the week.
You may remember almost exactly a year ago when we stayed at Vidanta in Cancun, Mexico with Heather’s best friend and her husband. We look forward to the great week we will have!

If you’re visiting the Puerto Vallarta area, this little hotel has nightly rates starting around $100 and is located in Bucerias, a quaint beach town only 20 minutes away. It’s called Paraiso Bucerias and I thought it was the perfect blend between a small hotel & an Airbnb. I hope you enjoy this tour and review of this great place to stay in Bucerias!

Bienvenidos amigos to another episode of MLD!!!
Taking you guys a few weeks back to when my car broke down….AGAIN!!! I took the opportunity to walk from Colonia Versalles to Colonia Agua Azul and explore areas of Puerto Vallarta I did not know much about.
We then head over to La Barbería PV to FINALLY, after many many months, get a hair cut. We got a generous donation on www.buymeacoffee.com/morelifediaries that asked for me to get a haircut so I thought I would honour the request of this wonderful subscriber.
This is our journey!
