Mexico was one of the best vacations ive ever had! It was two weeks of pure relaxation and sun. Karolina and I would wake up around 700am, grab a starbucks cold frap from the store and lay out on the pool chairs and take a little nap. Every now and then wed take a dip in the pool or go for a stroll on the beach, but other then that we didnt move much haha. We could even have our food and drinks delievered to our beach chair!! We got SO nicely tanned its insane!! We didnt want to leave!! Some of the highlights of the trip would be: - Playing cards at night with Karolina while we ate our noodles from Walmart - Taking dance lessons and going for bikerides with "the boys" - Watching ... read more

Mural in Merida

Coffeecat

I arrived in Merida in the wee hours of the morning and was lucky enough to find some decent accommodation immediately. The owner of the hostel was actually hanging out at the bus station at 6am with free rides, so it was an easy decision. I had a moment of doubt when I saw my pack being roped onto the roof of a gas guzzling 1970's jalopy, but after a coughing start we finally made it. I then opted for a bit of a snooze before walking through the central Zocolo area. I quickly learned of the biggest attractions in town; hammocks and artistic murals. Vendors seem to outnumber tourists as they share their woven lounge chairs in a variety of colours for all available wallets walking by. I was tempted to take one home with ... read more

Beach anyone?

Playa del Carmen

Tom Rooney

The country is the home of tequila slammers, the sombrero, guitar playing singers to serenade us, tacos and burritos, and of course corona beers with a slice of lime. Where else but fabulous Mexico, and it's wonderful to be back here after an absence of too many years. I previously visited Baja California twenty years ago, but now I'm on the other side of the country visiting the yucatan peninsula, for a sticky beak at the world famous resort towns that line the coast. The yucatan is by far the most popular destination for tourists in Mexico, and is often described as not the real Mexico. However the gulf coast is indeed the real deal ... it's the big time, the world's playground on a massive scale. Mexico is a North American powerhouse with 100 million ... read more

Asil and Nosyt

hola friends and family. buenos dias. ty here. here are some pics of a time lisa and i will never forget. all the planning and the money spent was completely worth it. my thoughts are scattered because theres so much i want to tell all of you , but it will have to wait for a more intimate setting. let me say this. our wedding was better than i ever could have thought. the only way it could have been better would to have more loved ones there. i understand now why weddings get so big, because when one feels that good about what theyre doing they truly want to share it with everyone. so here are some pics from our camera, taken by oles sister anhd bro-in-law, murray. miss you guys dearly, but we had ... read more

ok so this is a continuation of the last blog. the hotel room pic is nice eh? the waves crashing 24/7 is the greatest lullaby there is. im gettin´sleepy just thinkin about it.´it has been cloudy the last two days but still nice and warm. hot in the morning then it clouds over. we will take more pics and post them soon. i plan on using the video mode on our camera and drive around on the scooter to record the sights and sounds as they really are. still photos just dont convey the whole story. a thousand words, sure, but not the whole story. those files will probably be way to big to post so pics will have to do till we get back i think. k, the cig pic is self explanatory. just picture ... read more

Lis a and Deb on the cat to Isla

Asil and Nosyt

Okay We are here. Warm and a little drunk. Got here yesterday in the early afternoon. Debbie and Tyson passed out as soon as we reached the hotel room. I was wide awake and really excited. Tried to sleep but my urge to explore was over taking me. I finaaly roused them out of bed in the late afternoon and we went out to check out the local flavor. After walkimg around and checking out everything. We settled on having dinner at a great restuarant called Gomars. Which is on the main strip called Hildago.Just as we were going to order Mom and Ole showed up. We all had dinner together. Please forgive my typing. The keyboard here is very different than the one I have at home. The littel hotel is also on the main ... read more

Tulum Beach

Tor W

Our flight from Havana ended up being delayed by 4 or 5 hours, so we ended up wasting a whole day travelling and didn't arrive in Tulum till late on the evening of 3rd January. We were staying at a place called El Paraiso. The rooms were fine .. just a shame they weren't beachfront .. instead they looked onto a sandy car park .. not quite the seaview promised by the agent!! The next 8 days in Tulum were exceedingly lazy ... so much so that we didn't even make it down to visit the ruins which were only about a kilometre up the beach!! The beach at Tulum is amazing ... the whitest of sand and the most turquoise of seas .. stunning. Most days we ended up drinking cocktails from mid-afternoon onwards! We ... read more
