Sunset Sunday – Sunset on the Mazatlán Malecón

by on July 22, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

I reviewed the scheduled itinerary for Mazatlán and immediately looked at see where I’d be for sunset each night. I noticed most nights the sunset occurred over dinner (makes sense) but I also knew one of the restaurants. The dinner at el Shrimp Bucket would be located right on the malecón. I circled that evening. […]

The Timeshare Option – Should You Buy a Timeshare?

by on June 13, 2012 in Featured, Mexico Travel, Where to Stay?

Sunset Sunday – Zona Dorada, Mazatlán (en Español )

by on October 30, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

Llegamos a Diego’s en la Zona Dorada dos horas antes de puesta del sol. Comimos camarones, tomamos las cervezas y placticamos de México. Era una buena tarde.
