Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Puerto Vallarta

Howdy from the Grand Luxxe, P.V. It's occurred to me I haven't described the place..
but first: the golfing is really fun. They only have 15 holes open right now, but even during our stay here they've put in a whole new fairway. When one plays, one just kind of finds 3 additional holes and then play on for full 18. Watch for crocodiles and iguanas. You have to have a golf cart and caddy, and the course is amazing with palm trees, the appropriate water hazards, sand, etc. It seems to be a rather forgiving course, but then it gets hard. But, I've broken 100 twice! With a couple of mulligans of course, but, still, that's News.
About the company; the new name is Gruppo Vidante, and we have the ownership in the Grand Luxxe part, a "Villa". We have 1 bedroom now with a big living room and ktichen, and have access to 2 more separate bedrooms and can sleep a bunch more. All with very nice amenities. From the "bottom" up, there is the Sea Garden, the Mayan Palace, and the Grand Mayan. The "hierarchy" is defined by the size and quality of furnishings, and amenities included. Then there is the Grand Bliss and the Grand Luxxe which are REALLY nice, spacious, with big decks and our own bubbly little deck pool, etc. The amenities that come with this level include 12 rounds of "free" golf, 2 massages per week, and we can make reservations 12 months in advance. We love it and I Am enjoying the golf! We just really look forward to having some family with us, maybe next year(??), to play and enjoy the pools and golf courses and beaches. How fun that would be.
Era left today from her own ownership suite, and we come back to the US next Thursday.
Hope all is well around the country; Love Dad/UR
