I know that feeling of barreling down the road in a stranger's car, where you're thinking, "What have I gotten myself into?" and "Where are the seatbelts?"
The volleyball game and conversation by the side of the pool could be called serendipity, but the fact that you said "Yes!" to dinner wasn't luck. You took the chance to get to know each other, and the big adventure down the coast was a natural thing to do.
It can be hard, in a touristy place like Acapulco, to find someone like Hector and his family, people who are open to really talking with strangers and making new friends. Your wife is definitely an expert at talking to strangers, and now I want to go on vacation with her, too!
What a memorable day!
