Our return trip to Mazatlan - December Getaway

Fall was absolutely beautiful but by December it was getting cold.  It was time for us to take off for a break before winter really took hold.  We can get snow by first of December and sure enough it started to snow the first week.  We had made plans to drive to Tucson at the end of my fall semester and then catch flight to Mazatlán for a return trip.  Last year we went for a week about the same time and loved it. 

So the week  before Christmas, there was a break in the weather and we were able to get out our driveway and head south to Tucson on Friday arriving there late.  We stayed with our friend Grace and the Saturday visited folks at the Far Horizons RV resort where we had previously spent 5 years wintering.  It was great to connect with friends.

The next morning our friend Sam took us to the airport to catch our flight to Phoenix and then to Mazatlán arriving early afternoon.   The taxi ride to our resort was great as we recognized the site of the city and felt comfortable being in spot we had been to before. 

The resort is on the north side of town and on the beach about an hour drive.  The hurricanes of the past summer had damaged some of the resorts but ours seemed untouched.  The beaches hard but the sand was actually easier to walk on than the last year.

The weather was great and the seafood marvelous!   We meet up with two friends, Pete and Janet, who winter for 6-8 weeks every year in Mazatlán.  The week went by fast and we headed for home on Christmas eve.
