Stone Island and change….

…good or bad is all in how you perceive it.  We have been wondering if this would actually come to be and it seems that it has begun. The first phase of the $120 million dollar Isla Amaitlan Resort has begun.  Grading machines have begun clearing the first two hectares.  Now if only someone would [...]

Bad, bad, day…..

It all started with the wind….lots of it.  I guess we were fortunate that we were not blown about as much as the West Coast.  However we were affected. So I called the office here and asked it they could come and rescue the palms, perhaps keep them in the club house or ?? If [...]

TYLENOL

Butchart Gardens vs. Bush Art Gardens !!

Is there a difference?  You bet there is. The world famous Butchart Gardens are located in Victoria, B.C. Canada.  These beautiful floral gardens were started in an abandoned limestone quarry in 1904 by Jennie Burchart.  People travel from all over to tour these show gardens only 14 miles outside of Victoria.  The park is open [...]

A walk in the park!

One of the great things about living here is that everyone seems to enjoy their gardens.  These photos were taken a few weeks ago and so I better share them with you before we are officially into fall.

Mexican Vehicle Insurance!

Those of us who travel to Mexico all have a variety of vehicle insurers we use.  Since our very first RV trip into Mexico, which happened to be the Baja, we have always used Bob from San Xavier Insurance.  He and his staff have always been efficient and we have never had any problems in [...]
