I wanted to return. I can tell you the house made tequila was the main reason, but to be honest, my return trip was for another experience – the spa. Ohtli, the name of the spa, means “the path” in the native Nahuatl language. Apparently I desired a return to the path. I am no […]

Photo Essay: The Town of Yelapa, Mexico
It was a three hour excursion and probably just enough time to explore the town. So I grabbed my camera and my hat, headed to the beach and boarded the boat. From the sands of the Las Majahuitas Resort, a place with a wonderful sunset, we pushed off to sea. Next stop Yelapa. The ride […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Dreams Villamagna, Nuevo Vallarta
I told the taxi driver, “Nuevo Vallarta” and we headed across Mexican state lines from Jalisco to Nayarit. My destination, the Dreams Villagmana, was just a few minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Located in the newly marketed “Riviera Nayarit,” the Dreams is part of a growing area of all-inclusive luxury resorts in this part […]

Sunset Sunday – A Mile High Sunset
Window or aisle seat? Before the days of self check-in and kiosks, the agent might ask you, “Sir, would you like a window or aisle seat?” My answer than was the same as it is today – the window. I always ask for the window. Always. Why? I need to see the horizon. I love to gaze […]
Sunset Sunday – A Sunset in Mazatlán with Smiley
Two of us boarded the bus for the afternoon tour with our driver. Yet just before we exited the hotel gate, the other passenger changed his mind and exited the vehicle for an afternoon poolside. He left me on a personal tour with a jolly man nicknamed “Smiley.” I decided to switch from conversing in […]
