Back home with Mexican Sickness

<3 my boy to pieces 
<3
<3 Oh man guys, Mexico was so freaking amazing!
Every day I ran 2 miles early in the morning, then went for a swim in the pool, then ate some delicious breakfast. holy crap the food there was so amazing!!! My stomach was definitely distended on more than one occasion :3
Also did a LOT of hanging out on the beach and swimming in the ocean. I did a zip lining trip (through the set/location of the Predator movie), a hike out in the jungle, and an AWESOME 2 hour (each way) catamaran boat ride out to an island where I did some snorkeling and beach combing. Got myself a really nice tan and only got burned once on the first day there, YEAH SCORE!
Ooo, I also went tequilla tasting, and tried way more interesting ones than I did last time I went tasting. Tried a bunch of ones that were aged for different periods of time in various whiskey and cognac barrels, it was quite interesting. I ended up coming home with a bottle of an 11 month Repasado aged in a cognac barrel, it's not as sweet as others, but has a really nice flavor and no burn (it's for sipping not shooting).
Hm, other than that, it was mainly palling around with my mom and friendwife Alice in downtown Puerto Vallarta, along the beach promenade or exploring around in the old town. I ended up finding this neat tiny little leather shop where I ended up buying this old leather purse that this guy said his dad made.
Alice ended up finding someone who worked at the hotel, whose mum makes amazing tamales, and secured some for us. Oh the deliciousness.
Sad thing, during our last night there, I got ridiculously stomach sick. I didn't even know the human stomach was capable of expelling that much liquid and bile. D:
At least I got everything out of my system, even though I was up until like 5 stuck in the bathroom, before I got on the plane.
But oh god talk about a trip home from hell. Puerto Vallarata airport being what it is, we had to wait in line for about 2 hours to check in, then our plane was delayed, then they switched the gates but wouldn't tell us what the new gate was. We finally got on, and I'm just already feeling terrible, and there are no less than 10 screaming babies. Then due to bad weather in San Francisco, we get stuck circling up in the air for about another hour, then when we finally land, there is a problem with the jetway so we're stuck on the plane for another half hour, this time with the engines turned off, no airflow, and no doors open....so hot....with screaming children. When we FINALLY got out of the plane, mum and I couldn't figure out where to go for our hotel shuttle, and end up standing outside in the freezing rain for another 30 minutes waiting for the shuttle (with no jacket, those are in our suitcases and Mexico ziptied them shut). We FIIIINALLY make it to the hotel, and I promplty passed out.
Now I'm home, and while I'm over my stomach thing, I'm super sick again, I seem so have caught my mom's terrible cold. *huddles under blankets*.
TL:DR, Mexico was BADASS!!!! I got sick :<
