No, actually, ‘Cinco de Mayo’ (May 5th) is not Mexican Independence Day, the celebration begins at 11pm on each and every September 15th.

One Tuesday morning a city, a nation, and the world changed. September 11th changed everything. We all have our story. I worked downtown and walked home completely covered in ash.

Tulum. Chichen Itza. Palenque. Coba. When people think of the ancient ruins in Mexico, most think about the Mayan culture (and the Mayan calendar). But, other cultures flourished in Mexico.

One of the joys of New York is non-stop flights to nearly anywhere. You can get places usually without any connections or long layovers. But on a recent return flight from Mexico, I needed to fly back to the Scranton, PA area airport and that meant a connection via Detroit Metro (DTW). I actually have […]
