All winter I decided to post a weekly story about a beach destination. A story every Thursday designed not to just to warm us up, (especially those of us in winter), but also showcase all type of beaches from historic to the idyllic. I embraced the “Beach Thursday” concept. However, this idea was not my […]

Sunset Sunday – An email from Boulder, Colorado
On a Wednesday night I received an email from an ex-consulting colleague titled “Sunset in Boulder.” She wrote, “I saw the website you put together a couple of weeks ago and have been thinking about you and the philosophy. So even though it is Wednesday, I wanted to send you some pics of a sunset in […]
Dinner comes with a show at Gus Gus
In the heart of the golden zone, Gus Gus serves more then just fine Mexican food. The restaurant provides the fun, festive atmosphere many come to Mexico for – the fiesta. From the live music rock band, to the dance floor filled with tequila fueled tourists and the fire show dance troupes work for peso […]
Alagua in Mazatlán’s Golden Zone
Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone) beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua.

Outside on an open air deck, La Puntilla patrons enjoy not just the views of the passing cruise ships, ferries to La Paz, and cargo ships, but good quality seafood. One Saturday afternoon as part of a table of eight, I noticed big parties […]

We were 30 minutes outside the city of Mazatlan and away from the coast. We were deep in the state of […]
Pedro & Lola’s on the Square
In the heart of the revitalized Old Town of Mazatlán, Mexico visitors find Plaza Machado or Machado Square. It’s place lined with cafes and restaurants. A plaza where both locals and tourists come to enjoy the live music and eat. Pedro and Lola’s, a corner cafe on the square, actually holds the distinction of being […]
Sunset Sunday – Punta del Este, Uruguay
Volunteering to assist at the “meet plan go” event held in New York City last September I met many people looking to take a career break. I really enjoyed providing them with needed encouragement. Then when networking myself, I met other career breakers who actually encouraged me. Marie was part of the panel of career […]
