Ancient Cities 🌆 Mayan Ruins
The caliber & breadth of the Mayan culture is quite indescribable. We had several opportunities over our time in Yucatán to visit a few of the many known ruins that dot this amazing landscape & give a peak into the past. 1500BC to 1500AD spans the significant rise & fall of the Maya. Then like many […]
🦩Flamboyance & The Yellow City 🐝
So many little Mexican pueblos, so little time. We usually head off on adventures with a general plan, but we are always open to switching it up, especially when locals give us the skinny. To the west of Progreso is a small coastal pueblo that offers a look into Mexico’s conservation efforts. Celestún, home to the […]
👍🏼Hitchhiking & Faith in Humanity❤️
I love my mother, so it makes me sad that I worry her so, but worry her I do & apparently a few other ladies in her over 55 community 😜 There has been more than one conversation that has begun with, “mom, we are okay!” She knows that means there is a fun story […]
🇲🇽Yucatán, Let’s Pause Here a Minute🐚

Because February is my birthday month & I get to do whatever I want 😛 Let’s be honest the month doesn’t really effect that. So a quick interlude about an impromptu girl’s trip in what we refer to […]
🪳Cockroaches & Cabinet Reorgs
I think most folks would agree, the only good cockroach is a dead cockroach 🪳 So in a slightly better frame of mind than the night before, I set out to clean & negotiate. Now to be fair we are in the jungle tropics 🌴 There are bugs here. As much as I hate the […]
💼 Baggage Difficulties & Other Airport Fun👮♂️
Let’s discuss why you want to decorate the hell out of you luggage… because people do not pay attention! The pilot gift at Balloon Fiesta one year was a rolling carry on size suitcase, black with AIBF artwork embroidered on the front. We were one of 650+/- pilots that received these, so it’s safe to […]
Back On Track…🧳
With our res cards in hand, after only two & a half weeks in Mexico & a full three weeks before we expected & were scheduled to, we once again regrouped & repacked & rescheduled & rambled on… We have been coming to Mexico for the last few years to participate in the Festival Internacional […]
🇲🇽Best Laid Plans meets Bureaucracy🇲🇽
Wonderful food, beautiful art & amazing culture were a nice distraction to what would become a plan of changing plans, with stops, starts & many changes in direction. Here is the incredibly long story about the drama on Monday & Tuesday, the beginning of November at the immigration office for those of you who were […]
