Here’s an odd sight…I was up late lat night working and walked out on the deck at 4am. As I looked up and noticed the great image offered by the moon and sky… there was a question mark in blue just hovering above the center of all this. I know I’m currently trying to figure [...]

It’s always the fourth of July in Vallarta…

We just got a cancellation and have a rare opening at Casa del Sol. It can’t be beat for a better location of a Summer visit. Located directly off the Cove and the main beach, the breezes help cut down insect annoyances. All you hear is ocean sound. The Casa sleeps 8 plus and [...]

A few months ago while on a backroads tour…I suddenly wasn’t on the backroads. I came to a sudden stop. A Road? I had traveled this stretch past Guasimas many times, enough times to internally know each turn. Within a few weeks the local government had paved a huge section. As my speed doubled, I [...]

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow [...]

Ana’s Tienda closed their doors, a few weeks back. Ana , Chema and Family offered great prices and long hours…of course that combination often closes a business.

It’s not everyday that we get a great sunset in Yelapa. Yesterday, brought this wonderful show of light and color….Yelapa Tip…. It’s usually best to view sunsets from the hotel pier.

Thanks to all that wrote with concern about our latest Hurricane. If you only could be here to see the actual effect… you would laugh. Don’t take me wrong… weather is a beast not to be reckoned with but… rarely do we get the effects of a hurricane in Yelapa. Capt. Patricia Miller Rains [...]

My Dad clicked on the new chat.. off the site and within a minute we were connected. This was a first for us. Our Virtual Fathers Day. Im not that good of a son and barely call my parents monthly.. now…all they have to do is go to the site and I am there..

As many of you know..during the Summer , I live half time in Vallarta and half time here in Yelapa. It really works well for me, I love them both. My Vallarta life includes a 360 degree view of the Church that can’t get any more spectacular. I took these two shots Friday at sunset, [...]
