The surf crashed on the sand, overhead the sky was a canvas of colours. Gold, red and blue painted the horizon above the Sea of Cortez. With each wave that washed upon the beach the painting overhead changed. Tendrils of cloud caressed the blue of the sky while the sun crept ever skyward. Renewal. Every second and every moment brought a constant change into the world. In a moving picture of light the glory of the sunrise spoke volumes to Read more…
What a week it has been. I am going to need time off to recover from my holiday. That is the way it usually goes when I spend time on vacation. Go go go. What an amazing amount of memories we have created for my family. We spent too much time wandering the bar strip of Cabo and the beaches of the Baja. Ziplines and Camels. Music and laughter – it has been fun. I just hope we don’t pay Read more…
I wish I was writing about seeing Sammy Hagar play at the Cabo Wabo. I wish I was celebrating one last night in Cabo. Wishes are for fishes. Sometimes you catch them and sometimes you don’t. More often you are left empty handed and disappointed. Tonight we got to the front of the line. And that was it. They promised us they would let us in next, when someone left we were in. But then someone left and we didn’t Read more…
I never thought I would ride a camel. But there I was teetered on top the exotic beast, swaying with the movement of his steps. The animal moved in line with the one in front of him. My only thought was the poor beast must be tired of carrying people for a short ride through the bottom of this canyon. We plodded along for about fifteen minutes and got back off the humped creature. If the ride had ended then Read more…
Music pulsed into the night air. The sound of drums, guitars and voices echoed into the dark. We sat on our balcony and could feel the energy of the city, the air was alive. I felt alive. Cabo San Lucas is a town like no other. Las Vegas has it’s casino’s and LA has the Sunset Strip but downtown Cabo exudes a vibe, an energy that infects the soul. I looked at my daughter and my wife and smiled. Should Read more…
The lights danced in the sky. Above our heads little beacons of colour formed shapes over the glittering water of the Sea of Cortez. It was a spectacular end to a year that most of us would sooner forget. Goodbye, 2021. And good riddance. Here’s to a new beginning and a new year. Happy New Year to everyone. I felt so lucky to be on the beach in Cabo San Lucas for the end of what has been one of Read more…
We were only a couple of hours from our destination. The plane cruised through the air at 30,000 feet, my heart was beating to match the pace of the jets that roared into the afternoon sun. It was strange being in a place with so many people. We tried to wear our N95 masks – but they were so uncomfortable to be obnoxious. And no one else was wearing them – so said my fifteen-year-old. She was right. Most people Read more…
“Daddy, it’s time to wake up.” My daughter’s voice broke through the haze of sleep. I rolled over and looked at the clock. “2:55” “Oh, honey, wow. I guess so. You’re up early.” I looked toward the bedroom door, but she was gone. I rolled back over and looked at my wife who was snuggled up tightly with Snowbee the cat. “Good morning babe, are you ready for this?” “Umm ya, but it’s kinda early don’t you think?” Krista looked Read more…
Apprehension and excitement surge through my viens. I feel my insides pulse and my stomach flips. T minus 16 hours and counting. Cabo San Lucas here we come. so many mixed emotions and desires. Traveling in the Coronaverse is like nothing I have ever done before. I have never felt this much anxiety and excitement the night before a big trip. The world feels crazy right now. I can’t wait to escape the bitter cold and go to the sunny Read more…

I don’t care about your religion, I only care about you as a human being. I care that you have the best day you can. Really what does it matter? A happy wish is just that – a positive vibe connected with other people, It is something we need as much of as we Read more…
