Friday Fun Link – See The Seaweed Situation At The Live Cam Nearest Your Resort

Sargassum seaweed has been a huge (and growing) issue for the past fifteen years or so along the coast of Mexico from Cancun south to Tulum. This site lists the various hotels that have livecams pointed at their beaches so you can have a (rough) idea of how bad it might be when you arrive […]

One Month Away!!!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Year’s Eve in Cuba (Dec 2015)

I’ll start by saying that my wife is an absolute smokeshow (so I know this will be the first line of my annual “First Line of My First Post of Each Month”) next December! 😉 The only time we did an all-inclusive over the Xmas holiday season was when we went to Cuba with my […]

Friday Fun Link – Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta

We have a family trip booked to the Cancun area for February but ended up having an opportunity to go again in April so Shea and I have booked to go to Puerto Vallarta for the first time ever!  

Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”

One of the single saddest moments of my life was leaving England a couple days before Christmas after a four-month college exchange.

Music Monday – “And now, maybe now I should change/Because I’m starting to lose all my faith/While those around are beaten down each day”

One of the coolest things about being in England during the height of the mid-90s Britpop era was being exposed to so much great music.  Obviously Oasis was one of the biggest bands of that era and paid homage to the Beatles in various ways – mostly looks, lyrics and musical references. “Lazarus” – Boo […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.) We stayed at a Riu during […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only “Real” Blue Jays Game? (April 2006)

I can’t remember for sure but think this Blue Jays game was the first and only Blue Jays game I’ve attended in my life?  Or did I see an exhibition game in Regina once?  Hmm, 1989 so that feels very possible. At any rate, this game was during a break in my Masters program.  My […]
