DON'T FALL OFF ANY TALL BUILDINGS!

One comment about the first video from a family member (a young male). Everyone laughed when he just blurted out "Did Rick get that music from a porno?".

You had to be there, but it was funny.

OK I have just been given the complete schedule including each major resort. Give me a moment to figure out how to format it, and I'll have it posted soon.

Simply Amazing...

I have been checking out the pictures every couple of days or so (and big thanks to you great photographers) and this is what I was waiting for! Isn't just beautiful! It has been many a year since it looked so good.

What a happy time.

Cheers

So my guess is they are behind at least a couple of days right now... they are making GREAT progess but from the views I've seen the look to be at leasts a few more days between the piers before the can start moving the pipe and equipment...anyone there on the ground that wants to predict the finsish date between the piers ?? By Finished I mean all cleaned, leveled out, pipe gone,sand piles all leveled out ??.. DONE..

I am guessing they are working 24 hrs a day ? I noticed the lights on the beach..

Wow....so unless they are off by a few days our beach is going to be under construction. A little disappointing but I know it has to be done.

Please forgive my lack of geographical knowledge, having never been there and all that jazz...

But am I understanding correctly that none of the restoration is going on north of Av. Constituyentes?

We'll be there Sunday, and are staying at Luna Blue and first stop is going to be Mamitas Beach Club. I've been pouring over maps and trying to figure out where things are in relation to the project. But apparently I suck at that.

Mamitas is north of the restoration, you will be fine!
