You wish you were here…

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone has had as much fun as I have over the last few weeks Things are getting back to normal here now, and before all the Mexican adventures become posts you have to search for, I decided to take a few hours and remake the [...]

Well, hello weary travellers! I write this post to you from the comfort of my office at home in Pyrmont… where I am desparately trying to remember all that happened in the last 4 days of our Mexican adventure. It’s now all begining to be a slight blur at the corner of my mind, so [...]

We have done soo much in the last 3 days it isn`t funny! Where to start? Hmmm… Saturday (day 13 for those playing at home). We finally ventured into the heart of old Mexico DF on day 13… to Zócalo. For those that aren`t in the know… Zócalo is THE place for your traditional Mexican [...]

You don’t know what a flight delay is until you{ve travelled by plane in Mexico. We left Puerto Vallarta on day 10, and the flight was meant to be at 1pm. We left at 3:30pm. I know – not very long… but it’s kind of like the wait at a doctors surgery.. you have to [...]

I thought i was relaxed, when sipping my Pacifico on Mismoloya beach… but I was wrong. Now I know what it feels like to be truly relaxed… Day 7 was spent with Ailin’s cousin Bernardo and his family : Leonor, Bernardo Jnr (4 years) and Alejandro (8 months). We travelled about 1.5 hours out of [...]

Today we went on a cruise from Puerto Vallarta to La Isla de las Animas. Because Ailin’s cousin is a tour reseller, we got the total cruise for 150 pesos each!! Bargain. Well, we got our 150 pesos worth (just…) The boat took us from the port to 3 different destinations. The first was a [...]

So, our first REAL day in Mexico Distrito Federal (Mexico City). We started by heading over to Coyacan to meet Ailin’s old friend Ale for breakfast in Samborns – I had Flor de Calabaza (zuccini flower) crepes, Ailin a sweet bread role, and all – as much coffee as we could drink!!! By the end [...]

So, we arrived in Mexico DF yesterday… and went straight from the airport to the nearest taqueria to give Ailin her taco fix, and me my Negra Modelo (dark beer) fix!! And by straight there, I mean standing in traffic for 1 hour (at 7:30pm at night)!!! If anything, since the last time we were [...]

As promised, here are some happy snaps of Narita, with my gorgeous new fiancé… Japan was an interesting experience – everyone seems to have a job (no matter how big or small), and everyone is very polite and respectful – at least from what we were exposed to. The food was a little too traditional [...]

Well, we are half way to Mexico, and about to board our next flight – Narita – Vancouver – Mexico DF. Anyway, just a quick note to say hi and we are safe – having experienced a minor earth quake and walked through a beautiful Japanese temple… now on with the show! We will upload [...]

Stay tuned, we will try and get some pictures uploaded while we are o/s, to make you jealous! But just to get things going, this is a view from a beach just north of Acapulco (from our trip in 2004). [ Javascript required to view QuickTime movie, please turn it on and refresh this page [...]

Well, this is an idea that has been kicking around for some time, but it was highlighted by a discussion I was having at work today. When will the OS as we know it die, and be replaced by the browser as the OS of choice? Consider all of the applications offered by Google, which [...]

A bit of fun for your Friday afternoon. Can’t quite remember where I found this, but it brought a smile to this designer’s face Enjoy. My Flags
