Saturday Snap – My Own Corona Virus

This was my view one week ago today. I admit that I was a bit nervous heading to the airport the next day as the Coronavirus seemed to blow up big (in news coverage if not actual cases) during out week in Mexico but our flight went ahead so, (un)fortunately, we weren’t stranded in Cancun! […]

Friday Fun Link – British vs. Canadian English

I still tell the story of the woman I traveled to England with for a University exchange in 1995 meeting a group of people in a pub and saying she hadn’t changed her pants in days. Turns out trousers are pants in England and pants are underwear! 🙂

Five Reasons To Stay At A Cheaper All-Inclusive Resort (And Five Reasons Not To)

Shea and I weren’t sure if we could afford an all-inclusive holiday this winter after buying a new house last fall. But we decided that if we booked a much cheaper resort than some of the high-end places we’ve stayed at in previous years (we paid almost half what we did last year!), we should […]

Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”

Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]

Saturday Snap – Off To Mexico…

Two drink-related posts in a row means I’m definitely on holidays!  (Also had to commemorate that tequila shots were my wife’s idea tonight, not mine!!!) Some years I continue posting while on holidays and some years I don’t and I honestly have no idea if I’ll blog from Mexico or not but either way, hope […]

Saturday Snap – Hecho En Mexico

Just over one week until we leave for Mexico.  I bought some cane sugar-infused goodness to mark the occasion…

Friday Fun Link – In Japan, The KitKat Isn’t Just Chocolate, It’s An Obsession

Kit Kat is my favourite and have to to admit that I ordered a special mix of Japanese KitKat bars for myself for Christmas one year!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)

It’s sort of funny to think about how we’ve flown to the Cancun International Airport a handful of times over the past few years and it’s always the same WestJet flight we take every single year since we go the same week leaving and returning on the same day.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Beer Shot in Mexico (February 2019)

I’ve hinted at it in a couple recent posts but, with one month exactly until our departure date, I’m happy to say that we’ve decided to go back to Mexico again this winter! It was obviously a lot more touch & go with that whole “buying a new house” thing this year and up until […]

Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee
