Let’s face it, Mexico is one of the most widely known and well-traveled places in the world. Whether visiting beaches: Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas; Culture: Mexico City, Chichen Itza, Oaxaca, Guanajuato City; Magical Cities (Pueblos Magicos): Bernal, Parras, Dolores Hidalgo; Or big cities, Guadalajara, Puebla, Monterey, Mexico has it all.
Personally, I have been to Mexico over 30 times. I cannot recommend the country highly enough. Its beaches, history, ruins, food, culture, people and architecture are all some of my absolute favorites. It is why I retun year after year, whether on assignment or not.

A Night View of San Miguel de Allende 12 Days and 11 Nights in San Miguel After spending 12 days of exploring San Miguel de Allende in the center of Mexico, I never grew tired of this fantastic city's character and vibe. I was happy to explore and meander the stone...
It's just before 8 p.m. when Héctor abruptly veers his white van onto the dusty shoulder. Hermanos Serdán International "” our dimly lit destination "” haunts us from across the interstate. This is so close that my accomplice could probably reach beyond...
Friends often call me a NASA-TV nerd. I watch transfixed by late night filler video of an earth rotating below the orbiting International Space Station, and in the same way I' m fascinated at how Google Earth maps depict the earth from space. I've found it to be my...
Esta Casa es su Casa "“ Casa Oasis is your Home Lately many publications are touting the virtues of Todos Santos for visitors. Among these, and hands down the best, is Casa Oasis. Located on the Baja California peninsula 1½ hours from the Los Cabos airport but a...
Over the Baja Sur Divide Leaving my vacation home at Casa Oasis Todos Santos and the tropics after 4 days, I drive north and in about an hour reach the crest of my loop. Here the road intersects the Trans-Peninsular highway (BCS-1). A southern turn is taken and the...
San Jose del Cabo Aeropuerto, Baja Much like the Conquistadors used sailing ships to reach the New World in search of gold, the woman seated beside me on this plane came searching as well -- only this was for gold liquor from Baja's legendary watering hole...
