Why Are We Still Talking About Travel Safety in Mexico?
Blog: Landlopers - 27 February 2012
A couple of years ago when I was still a baby blogger, I wrote a post about why I thought that parts of Mexico were safe to visit. Talking with people, I thought that the message was getting across, that some parts of Mexico are...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized use prohibited.

Palladium Vallarta Resort Review
Blog: Vagabond3 - 11 July 2011
Was it like I dreamed? The deepest impression an all-inclusive resort leaves with its visitors is how well the reality matched up to their imagined, ideal vacation. Was the food first class? Did the public areas (pools, lounges) meet or exceed personal style and vacation expectations? Were there plenty of activities, and were the activities well managed or more of an after thought? The Palladium Resort and Spa offers a...

Animals we met in Mexico
Blog: Vagabond3 - 6 June 2011
Spending a week lounging around an all-inclusive resort doesn’t allow for much time with the locals- people or animals. Even though our resort had a private zoo, I was much more interested in the native, wild animals that called the resort home.Whether watching the birds search for food on discarded trays, the graceful peacocks walking around as if no one can was there, real butterfly kisses on my brothers face, or bullish...

Snorkeling, Stingers and a Blue-Footed Booby with Vallarta Adventures
Blog: Vagabond3 - 1 June 2011
When I went to the L.A. Times Travel and Adventure show, I made sure to stop by the Mexico and Puerto Vallarta booths for any tips or insider knowledge that might help to plan our upcoming All-Inclusive getaway. As easy as it was going to be for us to lay on the beach all day, Bob and I knew we wanted to get out of the resort at some point...

I caught the all-inclusive bug in Mexico
Blog: Vagabond3 - 17 May 2011
This past week, Bob and I were in Mexico enjoying our first all-inclusive resort. Instead of coming back with Montezuma’s revenge, I was hit hard by the all-inclusive bug! Until yesterday I probably would have said that I’m not an all-inclusive type traveler. There’s something about planning every moment of your experience yourself that brings independence, pride and a sense of accomplishment that I really enjoy about traveling. But the...

Tattoos, Table Games, & Tomorrows: Puerto Vallarta Day 7
Blog: Vagabond3 - 15 May 2011
The last day of our All-Inclusive vacation and Jade went on a huge stand-up paddleboarding trip. For being scared to stay out too long a few days ago, Jade really did a great job overcoming her fear and charging out into the ocean. Meanwhile, I wiped out on some rocks and got what JD called a Costa Rican tattoo on my arm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=riBKY2h8Feo To recoup from my fall, we played...

Award Winning Travel: Puerto Vallarta Day 5
Blog: Vagabond3 - 15 May 2011
While Stand-Up Paddleboarding and laying in the sun drinking cervezas took up most of our days, we did find time to enjoy the other amenities the Palladium Resort had to offer. I’m not sure how we found out about it, but one we saw archery on the sports complex map, we knew we wanted to try. The lesson was pretty basic- here’s a bow and here’s the arrow, now pull...

Natural Action: Puerto Vallarta Day 4
Blog: Vagabond3 - 13 May 2011
Stand-Up Paddleboarding is awesome, but there are a few things that I didn’t get on my first day out. So Jade’s Dad, Matt ,gave me some pointers before I headed back out, and it really helped. Meanwhile, while I’m charging into waves, Jade is quickly becoming a professional tanner. Really, that’s a profession that is a win/win for both of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHHD0WNgOAI After the morning beach session, we played a...

Taste of Thailand – Sayulita Beach, Nayarit, Mexico UPDATED
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 15 June 2010
It’s been a long time since we’ve felt the kind of laid back beach vibe that was so common during our four years backpacking around South and South East Asia in the late ’90s. But the minute we pull into Sayulita we recognize a certain languid pace, smiling attitude and happy go lucky approach to life. Ahhhhh. While Sayulita is far from undiscovered, it has yet to be overrun with foreign visitors (though you will not be alone) or tourist-price food and lodging–a big part of what makes the place so nice is that locals haven’t been priced out of the market yet.

Tortillas

Fruit Markets
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 29 May 2010

Casa Kimberly Update

Huichol Art
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 28 May 2010
From what I gather, Puerto Vallarta doesn’t have its own special art form such as the ceramics of Tonalá, the carved wooden creatures of Oaxaca, or the silverwork of Taxco.

Coffee & Restaurants
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 26 May 2010
Restaurants aren’t really my thing. They are costly and often don’t thrill the taste buds so why bother? But I do like to sit at an outdoor café with a coffee and observe the world as it goes by.

Saturday Night
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 25 May 2010
There is quite the night scene here; or so I’ve heard. I know I should go and see for myself, but just don’t see the point of changing out of my lounge clothes and doing something with my hair at 9:00 pm when I would rather be writing or reading or watching TV.

The Navy
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 20 May 2010
I do believe that on the first day I was here I wrote something about needing a long-sleeved shirt at night for the chill I was experiencing. That is no longer true.
