Bringing me along on your Mazatlan Mexico duck hunting trip could backfire - I might not let you go hunting there without me again! I can still hear the waves pounding the beach just outside our patio door, I'm craving Tamazula Shrimp from Los Arcos and that 80-degree weather was much better than the snow back home! You shot ducks and I enjoyed a great beach vacation. How about some more couples packages from GetDucks.com in the near future! ~ Anita Russell, GetDucks.com Travel & Administration
