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 […]

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

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.

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

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Moving Home (December 2006)

When I was accepted for grad school, we were pretty lucky to find an apartment that a young woman was giving up (I think she’d done a semester and became a “Christmas grad”) so when I started my program in January, we were not only able to assume her lease but buy out a lot […]

Some Thoughts on Thomas Cook’s Collapse and the Possible Impacts on Worldwide Tourism

As someone who loves visiting all-inclusive resorts (and frequently meets overseas guests while there including many who probably traveled with Thomas Cook), I’ve been watching the collapse of the 178 year old travel agency with with great interest. Some thoughts: * Some are calling this the first “Brexit Bankruptcy“, a result of uncertainty caused by […]
