Time to get 'serious' about a Class of '66 reunion - in Mexico

ARROYO SECO, Jalisco, Mexico - So, where does the time disappear to? Two years ago, sitting in a rented house in La Manzanilla (10 miles from here), I posted a blog suggesting that the Class of '66 should have a 45th reunion here in the winter of 2011.

About a dozen people responded with a 'You bet,' (or something like that)...

Well, the winter of 2011 is coming up fast.

Really fast.

So if this is going to happen - and it would be fun, amigos - some minor amount of planning needs to be done: dates, accommodations for housing, accumulation of boogie boards and snorkel gear, ordering of tequila for margaritas, etc...

My wife Sylvia and I live Arroyo Seco - a small village that has great beaches and fabulous people - three hours south of Puerto Vallarta and one hour north of Manzanillo. Both cities have good airports and ground transportation.

And we have a big piece of property in the center of Arroyo Seco that would be good for a party or two during a reunion. We now call the place The Pink Flamingo. That's a long story, better told later.

The best accommodations - hotel rooms, rental casitas, etc... - are down the highway a few miles in La Manzanilla. La Manzanilla is on Tenacatita Bay, a relatively famous place for vacationing and, at last count, has about 40 restaurants.

Almost all of them are pretty good, too.

So to make this a short story: If the Class of '66 has a 45th reunion in February, 2011 here in the Costalegre area of Mexico - how many people are in?

And for the record, if it's a reunion of 100 people fabulous!

And a reunion two?

Equally fabulous!
