An easy trip down on Air Canada 970. It departed exactly at 9:30 am. We got into the airport at 3:10 local time and into the hotel at around 5:00. We're an hour ahead of home.
We lived in this neighbourhood for the winter of 2014-15. However, we never spent any time in the Playa Los Archos Hotel. Of course, we'd walked by a million times. We spent New Year's Eve 2015 on the street party in front.
It was easy to learn the ropes. I tried to make sure I was getting my share of the all-inclusive food and drink. We walked a bit of the Malecon last night and things seemed remarkably familiar after our 8 1/2-year absence.
It's going to be a fun week.
