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

We get off the plane in late February/early March, tanned and rested and […]
When we were at Echo a few years back, we met, befriended and hung out with (and got hungover with!) a few other young couples. (I know “young” is relative for me these days but Shea’s a lot younger than me so I follow her lead on that!) When we got our seasonal site at […]
