Very quiet at the hotel last night. Went out this morning to get fruit. So oranges, bananas, pastries and coffee for breakfast on the patio. Bob makes good coffee. A hummingbird flew in closeby to visit. Cool in the mornings, but it starts to really heat up about 9:00am. Lots of activity on the street in the morning...vendors setting up their stalls, shops opening, etc. Lots of cats on the sidewalks this morning. Heard many doves cooing. Walked down to the beach and pier this morning. Bought boat tickets to go to the beach, Playa Las Gatas. Tickets very cheap, 50 cents total for two round trip tickets. A short (about 10 minutes), pleasant ride. The beach is lined with restaurants, tables, and lounge chairs. Each restaurant has their own welcomer, urging you to stop and ... read more

Left early morning from Baha los Angeles to travel to Guerrero Negra. A beautiful Day taking highway one south through the detours from the recent washouts. Passing by many small towns and some larger ones Punta Prieta, Rosanito and los Bombas. Many military check points and Agriculture check point 20 pesos to spray your vehicle for bugs finally arriving at Ojo de Liebre coastal lagoon where we set up camp in the back of Marios Restaurante. Funny 5 rigs and all Canadians not an other sole to be seen, Chewie loves it big yard and he is free. January 19 2016 took the small boats that hold 14 passengers and went on the great venture of grey Whale watching. It was amazing spotting over 100 or more and very close to us they were not shy. ... read more

There's nothing like the first day of a vacation. Everything is still new and exciting and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have it all ahead of you. We headed down to breakfast on our first morning and was able to sit outside to eat this time, now that the pesky mosquitoes were tucked up safely in bed. After a leisurely and rather hearty meal (damn those breakfast buffets!) we strolled down to find a good spot by the pool to spend the day. Eeek, what the heck! It was only 9:30am and it appeared that all of the sunbeds were taken, each one being occupied by a coral-colored Club Med towel but only about 10% occupied by people. We quickly learned that you had to rush down before breakfast and reserve your lounge ... read more

We left Maruata on Monday, February 25th and settled in at El Mangler RV Park in my favorite Mexican city, Zihuatanejo. The park is about two thirds full. Some regulars have left already but others arrived after we did. Situated behind a high wall, we don't get much breeze. Its hot and humid. Temps are in the upper 80s but weather reports say "it feels like 93". Power for air conditioning is excellent so the cats can stay cool during the day. The temperature cools down after the sun sets. GiGi and AnGi enjoy sitting out at night. Internet service here is ok. The cold showers are not. We have to shower in the camper. The only real drawback is that we can't get enough exercise here. It takes only half an hour to walk 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
