We got down there on Wednesday late afternoon and returned to Phoenix late yesterday afternoon. This is the latest in the year I've ever been down to PP.
We got the red light at the border. They made us get out and I was waiting for the whole pet paper/pictures/scanning ordeal. The woman made a half-hearted attempt at unzipping one duffel bag, asked if we were bringing any food or drugs ("No"). She didn't even notice the crate holding our cat and luckily my little girl stayed quiet and didn't try to show off her bilingual meowing skills!
The weather was fantastic. The sun was warm, the nights cool, but not cold. The water temp was a little chilly for me - I like the water temp in late June - but there were definitely people in the water and lots riding jet skis.
It was a lot more crowded than I expected it to be - all Americans, as opposed to our last 5 or 6 trips where it was mainly Mexican nationals. Thursday afternoon the beach cleared out around 2:30 when everyone left to go and prepared their T-giving dinners.
One thing I've never seen before and this probably has to do with the time of the year. Sunday evening about 10:30-11:00, I was out on the balcony looking out towards the old port and thought they had lost electricity - no lights at all. It actually turned out that a pretty dense fog had rolled in and soon after I could barely see the next building over from us on Sandy Beach. I fell asleep so I'm not sure how long it lasted, but it was pretty creepy, but cool at the same time. On our way out of town we stopped off at our favorite cerveceria to drop off the empty bottles and noticed their glass window was smashed. The guy told us that some theives had taken advantage of the dense fog the night before and broke in.
We're thinking about coming back down for New Year's. How does the weather compare?
