On every trip I always search for a surf destination. And when I received the call to come to Mexico, I spent my first long weekend escape finding surf. I discovered Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca. But, after many more months in Mexico, the only place I paddled out past the break to surf the swells […]
Sunset Sunday – Hotel Playa Mazatlan Golden Zone, Mazatlán
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 […]
A Day at Deer Island, Mazatlán
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 […]
Sunset Sunday – Flores, Guatemala
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 […]
Top Beaches for Beach Thursday

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. 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 […]
