Ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻāina ʻo Marina o PV i kahi i makemake ʻia a ʻelua mau waiwai o ka memo me ka Marriott a me Westin kokoke.

"Ua ʻōmaʻomaʻo nā hui a me nā keʻena ʻaha kūkā, e hāʻawi ana i nā peni i biodegradable, e hoʻopau ana i nā lole papaʻaina, a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā pahu ʻaina awakea me nā ipu thermo hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia," wahi a Whitelaw.
E lawe i na keiki
ʻOiai he 44 pakeneka o ka poʻe malihini kipa PV ma luna o 51 mau makahiki, ʻo ia nō kahi huakaʻi hoʻokipa ʻohana (39+ pakeneka), a ʻo ka Westin Hotel (Starwood Collection) ke manaʻo nei i nā keiki a me ko lākou mau ʻohana he ʻāpana nui o kā lākou hoʻolālā kūʻai.
Ua ʻōlelo nā mākua makemake lākou e hoʻomaha i ka ʻauʻau wai - akā hopohopo e hele nā keiki i ka hohonu o ka wai.

ʻO ke poʻo i nā puʻu: San Sebastian
Inā ʻoe e holo i ka mokulele he 15 mau minuke i San Sebastian (ke kūlanakauhale ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Jalisco, Mekiko), e holo i ke kaʻa kaʻa lehulehu (2 mau hola piʻi), a i ʻole e hui pū i kahi huakaʻi, e kālai i kahi lā e ʻike iā Mekiko i ke ʻano o kona ʻano. ke kenekulia 17. Ua kapa ʻia ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Saint Sebastian ma muli o kahi koa Roma i lilo i kahu kiaʻi no nā mea pāʻani a me nā koa ma hope o kona ola ʻana i ka pana ʻana me nā pua a waiho ʻia no ka make.
Aia ma nā mauna ʻo Sierra Madre, ma 4,500 kapuaʻi he mau hoʻololi hoʻololi i nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona (e noʻonoʻo i nā lāʻau pine) a me nā mahana anuanu (e hoʻohuli i ka wela). ʻOiai ua emi ka heluna o ke kūlanakauhale (ma kahi o 500 poʻe) i nā makahiki i ka nalo ʻana o ka ʻoihana eli gula a me ke kālā he ala ʻoluʻolu ia e hoʻolimalima ai i hoʻokahi lā a ʻelua paha ma ka "Mekiko kahiko."
He mea paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo, akā 300 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua kapa ʻia ke kūlanakauhale ʻo "Paris of America" a ʻo nā wahine nani o kēia lā ua ʻaʻahu lākou i nā mea ʻala a me nā lole satin.

Hoʻokahi pō a ʻelua paha ka poʻe kaulana i ka mōʻaukala ma Hacienda Jalisco he 180 makahiki (ʻaʻohe uila a kelepona paha) a kaʻahele a puni ke kahua o ke kūlanakauhale, e ʻimi ana i nā hale kūʻai liʻiliʻi a me nā hale ʻaina e hānai nui ana i nā kamaʻāina ma mua o nā mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO kahi hoʻomaha ma ka Casa Museo de Dona Conchita Encarnacion, he hale 300 mau makahiki ma ke kahua kūlanakauhale he koi. I ka lanakila ʻana o San Sebastian i ke gula a me ke kālā, ʻekolu ʻohana nui.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Robert Carballo, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka ʻāpana Executive Yacht Charter o VallartaSailing, "Ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana, e nīnau ʻia nā malihini e pili ana i kā lākou meaʻai punahele, nā allergies pesky, nā waina i makemake ʻia a me ka booze a me ka nui o ka wāwae (no nā flippers)." Inā pili nā manaʻo i ka noho ʻana e like me Elizabeth Taylor lāua ʻo Richard Burton, ʻo ia ke ala e hoʻokō ai.
