Kona is very well known for its production of flavor-forward coffees. I don’t actually know that’s true, but you hear about Kona and coffee so much that we decided to do a coffee roasting farm tour. On the recommendation of the bartender from yesterday, we went to Hōlualoa Kona Coffee Co. It was a bit…… Continue reading Getting lost is all part of the adventure
“Lizards, I’m here…”
Mahalo! David and I have taken a honeymoon exercise to Big Island, Hawaii. Or Hilo. And or Kona. We flew out the Sunday before Labor Day for 6 nights on the Big Island. And to get here involved a layover in Honolulu – which is the chillest airport ever! There was even access to an…… Continue reading “Lizards, I’m here…”
Livin’ La Vida Local
Tonight is our last night in Los Cabos and we had dinner with family. I’ll miss mi Catalina but I must come back soon with David to check out wedding venues. So “see you soon girlfriend!” Have you ever wondered what living in Mexico is really like? For the most part, it’s just a nicer…… Continue reading Livin’ La Vida Local
¡Cray cray Catalina!
Last Sunday came with a change in my living situation. David went back to America and my Mom arrived for her two weeks’ vacation in Cabo. Since Mom has been here before, we’re focusing on simple-living and don’t really have any plans besides enjoying Mexico and seeing our friends. I haven’t really had much to…… Continue reading ¡Cray cray Catalina!
“Yes Maria, I do speak Spanish now.”
Since coming back from Todos Santos, David had lined up 2 fishing charters for his last week here. He caught tons of fish and I still don’t care for the taste of it much. But his happiness at getting out on the water was worth it. I had my first massage with Magic Hands Maria!…… Continue reading “Yes Maria, I do speak Spanish now.”
Introducing, Mr. Ballena Whisperer
Saturday morning we walked to Mama Mia’s for breakfast. David asked them to make a breakfast burrito, which wasn’t on the menu. Este gringo está loco because what came out were 3 little tortillas with scrambled eggs and cheese, beans on the side. But my crazy gringo got the idea to head out of town…… Continue reading Introducing, Mr. Ballena Whisperer
Well now I hate Semana Santa too!
Thursday started off pretty relaxing with a stroll on the beach before logging into work. We walked to the nearby surf school and were disappointed to see surf lessons at $85 USD for an hour and a half. That seems a bit expensive so we decided to skip it this trip. Sadly, we missed saying…… Continue reading Well now I hate Semana Santa too!
I am comprometida. We are comprometidos.
I was extremely cruda on Sunday after celebrating our engagement Saturday night. Lots of love has been pouring in from all over the world and when I asked my cousin for a special celebratory “floral arrangement” (ahem, marijuana), he made a stop to come congratulate us in person. He taught me some new words, like…… Continue reading I am comprometida. We are comprometidos.
Smiling into Mexico
Doing Cabo a little different this year… since my Dad was diagnosed with cancer [officially] last December and started chemo treatment pretty quickly, we weren’t sure if we could keep our April reservation at my aunt’s condo. For those new to the blog, or those readers who have forgotten, typically my Mom & I rent…… Continue reading Smiling into Mexico
Ballena Whisperer returns to Mexico
Our first stop was Cabo, which had us putting our anchor down in the middle of a bay and taking a tender (or smaller boat) to the dock. As we pulled into our “parking space,” I spotted at least 2 whales. And that’s about the highlight for that port. I was too cruda (hungover) to…… Continue reading Ballena Whisperer returns to Mexico
