Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Six – Indigo/Violet

Going to combine the last two colours of the rainbow in today’s post because: a) can anyone tell me the difference between indigo and violet? and b) if you can, do you think I can find two drinks that fit those two shades of purple? Her: Caribbean Princess (not on cocktail menu but I think […]

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Five – Blue

Gotta admit – was looking forward to this day/colour for some reason…maybe blue just feels both unnatural as a food/drink colour but also very fitting for the tropics? Anyhow… Her: Blue Hawaiian Him: Blue Lagoon Bonus: Real Mayan Ruins (grey) in the background that you can climb up to and see up close.

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Four – Green

Her: Mojito Him: Caipirinha (which I believe would be as popular as the mojito if it had a more easily pronounceable name!  Also, mine should be greener as I’ve had them with a lot more limes.)

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Two – Orange

Him = Bay Breeze Her = Mai Tai (And I think it was the lighting or the cups or maybe even my shirt absorbing all the orange in the room. But you’ll have to trust me that these drinks were more orange than yellow – honest!)

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day One – Red

We made it to Mexico! If you read my (long) Year End post, you’ll see that I (mostly) quit drinking.  I didn’t go full AA so that I could allow myself the occasional indulgence (or more if I’m at an all-inclusive for instance.) For example, after a long delay including a text from WestJet at […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Foam Party (March 2019)

It looks like fun but there were a couple times during the Foam Party at Hyatt Ziva in Cancun when I felt absolute terror – no lie.  The foam would get so thick and high near the foam cannon that it would encompass you and you literally couldn’t breathe! Hopefully I do better at the […]

Snorkelling at the All-Inclusive Grand Sirenis Resort, Mexico

Hopefully this is my view in about a week from now…

Music Monday – “I just wanna feel real love/Feel the home that I live in/’Cause I got too much life/Running through my veins/Going to waste”

When Shea and I got married on the beach in Mexico in 2003, this song was in heavy rotation on one of the music channels in our hotel room. (In fact, I briefly thought she might call off the wedding to pursue Robbie Williams.  Or if she didn’t, I might as he’s just that damn […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our (Legal) Wedding Twenty Years Ago (February 2003)

A few days ago, I posted how it was our 20th anniversary (at least of our legal wedding, not of the ceremony we had on the beach in Mexico a month later which is the anniversary we “count”.) Here’s a picture from our legal wedding (and coincidentally, my cousin who stood up with me happens […]

Music Monday – “It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever/Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone/Maybe we’ll get forty years together/But one day I’ll be gone/Or one day you’ll be gone”

I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three.  Or, flipping that, I have three chances to remember it!) To recap… Our Three Weddings * Feb […]
