The Sights and Sounds of Mexico

As mentioned in an earlier post, my family and I spent a week in Ixtapa, Mexico where the weather was wonderful, the people were friendly and the exchange rate was favorable. My husband and I prefer to mix the typical "tourist-y" activities with striking out on our own and mixing with the locals. After all, who knows the area better than the people who live there. (Of course, knowing the local language helps immensely.) We were introduced to great restaurants, attractions and out of the way places that we might otherwise have missed had we limited ourselves to what the hotels had to offer.

There are far too many photos to post here and way too much to say. Instead, I'll let you peruse the photo gallery where I've loaded the best of our excursion. You'll find them here. Enjoy the view south of the border.

Back from Mexico

My family and I returned from Ixtapa, Mexico this past weekend none the worse for wear in spite of thunderstorms in Houston that delayed our return flights for about three hours. Thankfully we all returned whole and healthy. I wish I could say the same for my luggage. Our bags were so beaten up, I swear those baggage handlers were tossing them out onto the tarmac before the landing wheels hit the ground. Fortunately none of our treasured souvenirs were damaged in the process. I'll be posting some of the vacation photos in future posts. Stay tuned.
