Sunset Sunday – Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand

So what might make me pause my month of Mexican March Madness and post a sunset image from New Zealand? Simple – Blog4NZ. Blog4NZ Tourism is a way of life for many communities around the world and sometimes events alter their future. The recent earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand might influence travelers decisions to visit the entire […]

Good Food, Good Wine, and a Good Time equals the Perfect Trio

Good Food, Good Wine, and a Good Time equals the Perfect Trio

by on March 18, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel

When a German chef receives accolades, I am often impressed. They toast to an orderly “meal time” in Germany. It’s not a food culture. But Bernhard Guth’s resume impresses. He even spent some time at Bouley in New York. (For those not up on the New York scene, it’s on all the lists) And now […]

Lunch at Pizotita Beach concludes a Vallarta Adventure

by on March 17, 2011 in Beach, Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel

The beach. It’s one of the many reasons people travel to Mexico, perhaps the most common reason. I’m not surprised. Mexico has amazing stretches of sand.  And lunch on the beach, well that is truly part of the culture (through cuisine) in Mexico too. During the Beach Thursday series this winter, I highlighted a few […]

Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot Listed Cafe des Artistes

by on March 16, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel

When the Conde Nast Traveler “Hot List” issue comes in the mail, I always review it. I check to see if I stayed at, drank at, or dined at any of the mentioned. And fortunately, I have. Yet I am often surprised when certain places are mentioned over others I know from the location.  The debate often […]

“El Arrayán” translates into “tasty Mexican food” in Puerto Vallarta

“El Arrayán” translates into “tasty Mexican food” in Puerto Vallarta

by on March 14, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel

Mexican cuisine is just one option when visiting Puerto Vallarta. The seaside town provides arguably the best dining scene in all of Mexico outside of the capital city. But as patrons can chose from the numerous top-notch international options (as this week of posts shall highlight) many always, well I always, search for good quality local cuisine. In […]

Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas

Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas

by on March 14, 2011 in Destination, Events, Mexico Travel

Many still consider travel to Mexico too adventurous.  Or I guess to call a spade a spade, they consider it dangerous. I know I meet them. So when I decided to rent a car and take a solo road trip inside Mexico people thought I was inviting danger. I was beyond “staying adventurous;” I was […]

Sunset Sunday – Buenaventura Grand, Puerto Vallarta

by on March 13, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

When I arrived to Buenaventura Grand Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, I had a few hours before my scheduled dinner at the aptly named oceanfront restaurant, Sunset Restaurant. But with dinner slated after the sun took its dip, I decided to head to the beach to catch the sunset for myself. It would make for the perfect aperitif. […]

Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit

Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit

by on March 10, 2011 in Beach, Mexico Travel

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 […]
