Please read the first parts of this trip if you haven’t already: Part 1: Quéretaro Part 2: Guadalajara & Tequila To me a vacation isn’t truly one unless there is some time spent in the ocean (or at least a pool, preferably a salt water one!). After spending a few days with the family in Querétaro […]

Our Mexican Adventure Part 2: Guadalajara and Tequila, Jalisco
You can read part one of our Mexican Adventure here. The second part of our adventure took us to Guadalajara, well, sort of. For 4 1/2 hours we traveled on a Primera Plus first-class bus from Querétaro to Guadalajara. The ride cost us 423 pesos ($35 CDN – seriously, this would give you a one […]
Our Mexican Adventure Part 1: Queretaro, Mexico (again!)
Everyone already knows how much I love Mexico. I travel there whenever I get a chance and it is always an adventure. There is so much to see and do there and I am feel fortunate that I have avoided the all-inclusives and have seen a lot of real, true Mexico. At this point, I […]
Queretaro, Mexico
I should have written this post a while ago since I was in Queretaro back in July. But alas, time has flown by and it is now September and I am dreaming of my beloved Mexico. My most recent visit there was to visit my sister and her wee family in Queretaro which is both […]
San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico
San Miguel de Allende is one of my favourite places in Mexico that I have been to thus far. I have been there twice in the past year as it is about a forty-five minute drive from Querétaro where my sister currently lives. The drive to San Miguel is a beautiful one; the landscape is […]
Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Oh Playa del Carmen. I was always curious about you. I always wanted to see what you were all about; if what the people said were true. I can confidently say, the people did not lie. Playa del Carmen is a wild, busy, tourist town. If you are looking for authentic Mexico, it is not […]
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Tulum is a great place to visit when you are in Quintana Roo. It is a cute little touristy town and of course, there are the Tulum Ruins. When we flew into Cancun and began the drive, we used Tulum as the first place to stop to get some food. Later in our trip we […]
Mahahual, Quintana Roo, Mexico
One of my most favourite places that I have been to in Mexico is Mahahual. It is located on the Caribbean Sea and is about a two hour drive North then East of Chetumal. While Cruise ships do dock there, there are not a lot of tourists that visit Mahahual since it is fairly secluded. […]
Chetumal, Quintana Roo
Chetumal is a fabulous city to visit if you are looking to experience a little of authentic Mexico. Chetumal is not a beach town, meaning: it is not located directly on a gorgeous sandy beach. It is, however, the capital of the state Quintana Roo (pronounced “row”), which is the state that Cancun, Riviera Maya […]
Mexico is so much more than a beach.
Mexico is so much more than a beach, so very much more. People who watch CNN daily express their fears of visiting Mexico. When you tell them you are going there on holidays they wonder if you will return alive. But of course you will! Yes, there are some major problems with the country, particularly […]
