This upcoming October and November, I’ll be hosting a Masonic conference/get together/whatever we want to call it, in beautiful Puerto Vallarta Mexico! I hope that you will be able to join us, it will prove to be a truly amazing experience.
As you may know, last year the Grand Lodge of Washington held a great party in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. About 50 of us traveled to Vallarta, we visited two local Lodges, with the Grand Masters of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, and the Gran Logia Occidental Mexicana. We also had a truly amazing Christmas Party, with a superb band and took in a great show at a local live theater. The reviews of the trip were rave, then and continuing.
In 2022, we are going to repeat the experience with Emeth’s own Freemasons In Paradise.
Schedule1:
October 31, American style Halloween Party.
November 1, We enjoy the local, and amazing, Day Of The Dead Festivities.
November 2, Emeth Concert, with the amazing Gecko Band.
November 3, Masonic Educational Workshops and Discussions.
November 3, Visiting a Local Lodge.
November 4, Masonic Educational Workshops and Discussions.
November 4, Visiting a Local Lodge.
Melinda and I will be flying in on October 30 and returning home on November 6, but events will only be scheduled from the 31st to the 4th.
I truly hope that you will be able to attend with us! Puerto Vallarta is suitable for all ages, and all budgets. If you have questions about it, you don’t have to rely upon favorable reports from me, just ask any of the approximately 50 people who attended last year’s event, I know that it is considered a highlight of many Masonic careers.
This isn’t just an event for the men; wives, girlfriends, kids, all are welcome. As we showed last year, this will be an excellent vacation and Masonic adventure for all who join us!
Please save the date for now. Registration and other details will be shared very soon.
As a favor, might I ask that you share this post with any Masons who you think might want to attend? It would be wonderful to have a large group joining us!
For those of you who attended last year, I’d especially appreciate it if you would share this with your Masonic friends, along with some thoughts about how great it was!
Here are some photos and videos of last year’s trip:

Due to the fact that we are very early in the planning stages, changes to the schedule are possible.
If anyone has any questions about the December 2021 trip, I made a PowerPoint show of the trip and showed it at a few Lodges as an educational presentation.
In addition to the trip being an incredible amount of FUN, it was also quite educational. I have information concerning restaurants, traffic and transportation, shopping and vendors, as well as the two Lodges from the different Jurisdictions. You will find a lot of key information in MW Cameron’s previous posts; I encourage you to look back and read them, as they will provide you with all the fundamentals, as well as Cameron’s personal take on them. My take will, of course, be slightly different, as will everyone else’s who joined us in Puerto Vallarta in December of 2021.
I will not be able to travel to Puerto Vallarta in 2022, although I will be traveling there sometime in the following years. I learned a lot during the last trip, and I plan to take that knowledge and make the next trip more comprehensive.
Can you enlighten us with estimated costs and places to stay?
