Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Through an amazing stroke of luck I ended up filling the last seat on a whale watch boat the morning of my departure. I've always wanted to see a Humpback. We saw a pod of dolphins that swam right up next to our boat, some whales diving in the distance (very unpredictable and hard to find) and then toward the end of our boat ride, found three or four whales and a few dolphins swimming together at the surface, probably 20 feet from our boat.
