I arrived at the perfect time. I arrived at sunset. On my first night back in Mazatlán, I checked in to the Hotel Plaza Mazatlán located on the pacific coast of Mexico just in time for a ‘welcome (back) to Mexico’ sunset. After dropping my bags, I walked out of my room’s sliding glasses doors to gaze upon […]
The name Mazatlán actually originates from the indigenous Nahuatl language meaning “place of the deer.” So it’s no surprise the coastal destination calls one of its offshore islands “Deer Island” Unlike a similar Mazatlán beach excursion, Stone Island, this destination requires one arrives by boat. My journey began at the El Cid Marina Hotel where I […]
You can walk around the island of Flores in less than twenty minutes and I did many times. It’s a small quaint place most tourists come to visit as a starting point for travel deeper into the Guatemalan jungle and the ancient Mayan ruins. Tikal, the most famous, popular and perhaps impressive of the ruins […]
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 […]

So even though it is Wednesday, I wanted to send you some pics of a sunset in […]
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 […]
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. Ceviche, oysters, scallops, shrimp and the local huachinango fish fill the menu. It’s seafood, seafood, seafood. And it’s delicious. On my visit, our large table ordered most everything off […]
Just across from the sands of Stone Island lunch is served. 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 […]
