Four Seasons Resort at Punta Mita
In September, 2003 Adrian and Rex traveled to the Four Seasons Resort at Punta Mita, a peninsula about 25 miles north of Puerta Vallarta, Mexico.

The Four Seasons is a fairly small, self-contained resort, with beautiful grounds, terrific beaches, a fine golf course, and the nicest staff ever.

We hope you enjoy these pictures of our trip.
