The 2011 Travel Videos Recap

The 2011 Travel Videos Recap

Videos. I posted twelve travel videos in 2011, but I helped create only three of them. I’ll do more in 2012. Promise. I plan to make it one of my resolutions for the new year. I largely used videos to help tell the story in a few of my destination series. I gave, you, the reader a […]

Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca

Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca

On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset with San Pascual Bailón, the Chef’s Saint, Puerto Vallarta

Sunset Sunday – Sunset with San Pascual Bailón, the Chef’s Saint, Puerto Vallarta

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants. It’s widely discussed and […]

The Alebrijes of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca

The Alebrijes of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca

We exited the bus and entered the streets in the midst of a parade, but unlike other parades this celebration was staged. Music, headdress, and confetti created a warm, festive scene. No doubt, local residents considered us their guests of honor. Such fanfare might not exist for everyone who enters San Martin Tilcajete, but after an […]

Sunset Sunday – Zona Dorada, Mazatlán (en Español )

Llegamos a Diego’s en la Zona Dorada dos horas antes de puesta del sol. Comimos camarones, tomamos las cervezas y placticamos de México. Era una buena tarde. Entonces como el sol casi tocó el horizonte, caminé en la playa abajo al Océano Pacifico. Yo miré el cielo, el océano, y las personas en el mar. Muy […]

Where to Stay – Hacienda Tres Rios, Riviera Maya, Mexico

The world’s top resorts and resort brands line the beaches of the Riviera Maya. I know I toured many. And I plan to stay at a few on my next trips to the region especially as Stay Luxurious takes off next year. But even so,  I am sure I will always recommend Hacienda Tres Rios […]

Sunset Sunday – Nichupte Lagoon, Cancun, Mexico

Sunset Sunday – Nichupte Lagoon, Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is famous for its resorts, beaches and fiestas but it doesn’t often conjure images of beautiful sunsets. Arianna, a fan of sunsets herself, told me they are beautiful, but you need to look beyond the beach. I met Arianna through twitter and asked her if she would share what beauty she discovered. She selected […]

The Mexican Tequila Bandera – A Patriot’s Drink on Independence Day

The Mexican Tequila Bandera – A Patriot’s Drink on Independence Day

No, actually, ‘Cinco de Mayo’ (May 5th) is not Mexican Independence Day, the celebration begins at 11pm on each and every September 15th. The reenactment of the cry (or scream) for independence, “El Grito,” takes places in most every Mexican village, town, and city. It’s a fiesta too. The Mexicans are patriotic. Actually, in all […]
