Pre-Urban Exploration Mexico: Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort

I’ve spent a lot of time in hotels in my life, but all of them have been, well, built when I got there. With walls and bathroom fixtures and everything.

Nope, the moment I received the device, I immediately loaded four hundred of my favorite travel photos from South America, Central America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and yes – even good ol’ America.

As I sit here at my desk writing this review, I find myself distracted by memories of my sweet 20-something adventures. Memories of a
