It stunk.
Trash, feces, people trying to rip you off, timeshare come ons, I had enough. Puerta vallarta was nice looking from the boat, looked like tj up close, should have never got off the boat. Senior frogs at mazatlan was fun, but I can get drunk anywhere. Cabo smelled like an outhouse, and the tourist traps wanted $4 for a beer. No thanks, if I want to see mexico I drive 10 miles to santa ana.

Have to semi-agree here. From my experience, the Pacific side of MX does kinda suck (PV, Mazatlan, Ixtapa, Acapulco, etc.).
I've had much better trips to the Gulf/Caribean/Cortez/Yucatan sides (Puerto Penasco, Loreto, Merida, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen). YMMV...
Oh, and there is a Senior Frog's in Playa del Carmen literally right next to Skydive Playa. I made a few jumps there and it was an eye opener. First, the LZ was basically anywhere on the beach you could find a spot! Second, Playa seems to be a popular vacation spot for Brazilians. Sooo, you had to negotiate the several beautiful Brazilian women sunbathing (topless), who would stand up and clap as you came in swooping the beach. Ahh, the memories...
