My daily plans for a long weekend in RP.... How about yours?
When we come down, this has become more or less our usual schedule.
Thursday - Leave work at about 11am, luggage in the trunk, cross at San Luis Rio Colorado at about 4 or 5PM, arrive at Rocky Point at about 8. Stop by the Super Ley for Sodas/Water/Liquor. Into Cholla bay at about 9, shower and unpack a few things. A few drinks, a small bonfire, and then to bed.
Friday - Up early, breakfast at Xochitl's (Chile Rilleno or Chilaquiles con Pollo pechuga, sin crema). Drive out to orphanage to drop off whatever we brought this time, hang out with the kids for a few minutes, talk to the staff and find out what they need us to bring the next time we come down. Stop by Thrifty for Ice Cream ( We have never done this at home, only in RP. Go figure) Pick up one or 2 chickens from Pollo Sinaloa for later in the night. Either a short nap or an hour or 2 of fishing or swimming, eat some chicken, then clean up and head for town. Last time we went to the Malecon for an hour or 2, bought a piece of cake from the bakery on the North end of town, then to Changos. That place is great, good food and drinks, good live band, and fair prices. Back home then off to bed.
Saturday - Up early, buy some shrimp from the shrimp truck for later. Fishing or swimming for an hour or 2, then take a drive. Last time we drove around the estuary, and then to Rodeo drive for a massage for the wife. I forget what the place is called, I think "Azul" something. 40$ for 50 minutes. I usually have a beer and browse around while I'm waiting for her to finish. Back to the house, then put on a movie and relax. Spend the last part of the night visiting a friend or just looking at the stars.
Sunday - Up at 5am, packed and out the door at 6am. Stop by Xochitl's for breakfast to go. Enjoy the views on the drive back (I love the part with the huge sand hills overlooking the sea) and arrive home by 3 or 4 pm. Unpack and immediately begin plans for a return trip.
To me it's a perfect weekend, the only thing that is missing is some time out on a boat. This weekend we will be on the Bird Island trip, but I would eventually like to find someone to go out with on a regular basis when we come down.
What does your perfect long weekend look like?
