We arrived in Chihuahua City midafternoon to attend the TravelLand Travel Summit. Chihuahua City is a long scenic drive from Ciudad Juarez and the US border. The summit proved educational, especially about northern Mexico and the adventures that await, including more about the Samalayuca Sand Dunes we visited on the way to TravelLand. After leaving the […]
The Beach Town of San Francisco ….. Mexico?
San Francisco, Nayarit, Mexico. Yes San Francisco is a place worth visiting in Mexico too and the quaint beach village on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit left an impression on me. A few miles up the coast from the popular hippie beach town of Sayulita, visitors find the town of San Francisco also known locally as San […]
Episode 1: Discovering Nuevo Vallarta in the Riviera Nayarit
This past year, I took a different type of trip to Mexico. A trip I’ll never forget. I met amazing people, visited amazing destinations and had an amazing time. That didn’t add anything new to how I feel about Mexico, but something was different, something very new. I was on a different type of assignment […]

Recently, I asked a Venezuelan friend living in Mexico for a sunset image to highlight the beauty inside Venezuela. She responded with a photo and also gave me […]
Cycling Events To Watch for in London in 2014

The games brought good feeling all around the country and raised awareness for many great sports and the athletes who take part in them, yet there was one discipline that saw particular British […]
The Upper Florida Key’s Oasis of Anne’s Beach
Driving down the famed Overseas Highway (US -1) towards Key West there’s a must stop beach, Anne’s Beach, located at mile marker (MM) 73. It is definitely worth the stop to stretch the legs or as I recommend to spend an afternoon. The Florida Keys are not famous for their beaches. No. A few exist […]
Sunset Sunday-Cruising to Manta, Ecuador
“I looked at your map and this will give you a pin in your open space. It’s a sunset from Ecuador captured from aboard a cruise ship in the Manta Harbor.” Yes, it is a most welcome “pin” and a beautiful moment from Ecuador and South America. Thank you Bob. Recently I donated a 2014 […]
