Blogs from Ixtapa, Guerrero, Mexico, North America

Bonjour à tous, Voici mon troisième résumé, fait à la vitesse du Mexique, i.e qu'ici il y a 2 vitesses: lent et arrêté!! On s'habitue! Toujours est-il que nous continuons notre vie à la Mexicaine. Si vous avez fêté la St-Valentin à deux, nous l'avons fêté à 56. Il y a plusieurs Québécois à Ixtapa et ils aiment bien se retrouver pour des occasions spéciales, nous avons eu la chance d'être invités et avons beaucoup aimé rencontrer ces gens dynamiques et optimistes. Pour les endroit à visiter ce sont surtout des plages, avec une météo de 31C chaque jour tout ce que l'on désire voir c'est un endroit pour se rafraîchir, plage ou piscine. L'eau est chaude dans la mer parfois plus que dans la piscine, pas de niaisage pour se saucer! Juste le fait de ... read more

Bonjour, Nous voici encore repartis en exploration, cette fois-ci le nombre de KM sera beaucoup plus petit que les longues routes des autres voyages. Nous sommes au Mexique à Ixtapa sans auto et sans camion, nous essaierons les transports publiques: autobus, taxis et notre préféré: la bicyclette. Ici, il fait toujours beau: 30C, un peu d'humidité ce qui nous fait sortir le matin et la fin d'après-midi, De midi à 3pm c'est l'heure de rester à l'ombre ou de profiter de la piscine....c'est la vie! Je pense qu'on va s'adapter. Alors A+ et bonne visite. de Carole... read more

The whole point of going to an all-inclusive resort was to avoid getting sick if at all possible. If you read the previous blog you'll know that we headed back to the room on about night 5 and found that Kyla had a fever. The next morning she tested at 102 degrees. After another bout of baby paracetamol we headed out to breakfast. Being paranoid first-time parents, we took the thermometer along with us and it seemed that she was getting hotter and hotter. We threw some food down our throats as quickly as possible and then rushed back to the air-conditioned room where she quickly tested cooler. We decided that the best course of action at that point was to get her into bathers and put her in a cool shower and head to the ... read more

***Disclaimer- this probably isn't worth reading if you want to find out anything about travel in Mexico. It's just about our very pedestrian, non-adventurous trip to Club Med. But, if you are one of the friends/family or reader just checking in- here goes... Where is the taxi? We are waiting outside in suburban Miami having rung for a taxi at 4, it's now 0430 and I'm mildly anxious. Call the company- yep they're on the way. 0445 still waiting but the phone rings- the taxi guy is lost. Luckily he's only 3 mins around the corner. Board AeroMexico on time and have a really great flight, the terrain is fascinating- mountainous and green. As we approach Mexico City the density becomes higher, higher, higher.... Wow- it's huge, but interesting and colourful. I love the splashes and ... read more

Back in December, when a group of us went to Isla Ixtapa, we passed by a waterpark in Ixtapa. It looked like fun. Since then, we’ve talked about going. Today, we finally did. Jazzy and I headed out first. We tendered ashore, got a taxi, rode from Zihautanejo to Ixtapa and walked into the waterpark. Then we were confused. There was no gate, no ticket booth, just a walkway leading into the park. We walked around and saw nobody. The wave pool was still but the slides had water running. We wondered if it was closed. Eventually we found somebody and they told us that yes, it was open and we paid our ticket fee. We got ourselves a couple of beach chairs and laid out for a bit. It was hot! We had to keep ... read more
