We enjoyed Mexico's hospitality, and now we're back in the states spreading the joy of living south of the border!

It's about the journey ... not the destination

Everything seems to take longer in Mexico. Especially traveling. Whether it's going to church, meeting friends, grocery shopping, taking a walk, or taking a great vacation, we always seem to spend most of our time getting somewhere.
Take Los Cabos, which we both totally loved. We were gone for 4 days, in planes and taxis, walking up to 2 hours each day for about 90 minutes swimming in the ocean and 8 minutes of parasailing. And a sunburn.
If we were only going on vacation for the highlights, we wouldn't have had such a good time. But every aspect was wonderful -
new podcasts on the plane
gorgeous ocean views from the taxi
a free upgrade to a jacuzzi room
warm sand
clear ocean water
lunch on the beach, under an umbrella, relaxing on a chaise lounge
Fresh mangoes
sleeping under the moon & stars
English church
fireworks.
So, it's really about the journey. Even when the destination is amazing.
