Monterrey: Prologue

I've been to Mexico before. Over a decade ago--right before I started law school--I spent two weeks with Big Cole and two other high school chums in a fortnight trip that included Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán. I lost some paperwork and I was in a serious relationship, but it was a good time.

I went to Cancún and Playa del Carmen for my honeymoon. As fun as it is to talk about my marriage on my blog, I'm gonna skip that trip except to say the combo of beaches and Mayan ruins was incredible.

About two years ago I went back to Mexico. TM2000, Flowers and F-Bomb accompanied me to Puerto Vallarta. I was single and I was alcohol-friendly and I had high hopes.

Ugh.

The April 2008 Mexico trip was the biggest bust ever. Two of my three companions were recently involves with girls (one is engaged to the woman; the other is not) and it was Spring Break.

Good? Uh...

HIGH SCHOOL spring break.

It was a disaster.

And so I came back to Mexico for a fourth time. By myself. Hoping for the best but preparing for four days and nights of hotel gym time and HBO Signature.

That's a prologue. I'm at the end of night #2 and tomorrow, when the rum has worn off, I plan/hope to give a recap of my trip so far.
