Discovering a new way to cruise with UnCruise Adventures

June 30, 2022 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

Tired of the massive cruise ships packed to the brim with thousands of tourists? Not interested in that kind of generic, high-density vacation but still want the unparalleled sightseeing and relaxation of a scenic cruise? Then maybe an Uncruise is the right cruise for you. UnCruise Adventures is unlike any cruise I’ve done in the past. And I quickly found myself warming up to the concept. After spending a day on a special “behind the scenes” … [Read more...]

An Unexpected Night in Cabo San Lucas

October 1, 2021 by Dave2 Comments

The rooftop edges over dramatically - at its most precipitous drop, one would fall maybe 10 feet if they weren't careful. There is no railing guarding the edge of the roof leading to the steps to the lower level. But one afternoon a gentleman showed up with his portable welder and began welding together a metal railing before ultimately installing it. We began chatting - his initial questions were about politics. Always a hook conversation … [Read more...]

ACRE, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California – May 2021

May 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

This 25 acre palm studded oasis founded by two Canadians sits on the edge of the Sierra de la Laguna foothills, a short drive from the center of San Jose del Cabo. Depending on the route one may pass through over narrow dirt roads - past primitive looking pens holding cows - a complete contrast in comparison to the well-kept and orderly grounds of the resort. ACRE (pronounced, ahh-cray) is known for its quiet setting among the naturally … [Read more...]

Whales & Wine: The Perfect Pairing

August 20, 2016 by Lorna Cunkle2 Comments

Every fall, more than 20,000 Pacific gray whales begin to migrate south from their feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to their breeding grounds in the warm waters of Baja California. They pass by Mendocino County twice: going south from November through February, and going north from February through May. With an average lifespan of 50 years, they swim an astonishing 10,000 miles each and every year. Calves are at least a month old before they … [Read more...]

Baja California’s Hidden Gem: Loreto

August 27, 2015 by Jacki UengLeave a Comment

Loreto, located on the Sea of Cortez in Mexico's Baja California, was one of famous oceanographer, Jacques Cousteau's favorite places in the world. He first visited Loreto in 1980 and appropriately called it "The Aquarium of the World". Yet, it remains a hidden gem to many people even to their 'next door neighbors' in the United States. Loreto is merely a 2.5-hour flight from Los Angeles. Alaska airlines offers nonstop service from LAX, … [Read more...]

The Flavors of Puebla, Mexico

November 6, 2014 by Allison Tibaldi1 Comment

Tacos and enchiladas are tastes as familiar to Americans as burgers and fries.

When I crave the unadulterated tastes of Mexico, I dream of the flavors that I have savored in Puebla. In a country loaded with gastronomic riches, Puebla is a culinary oasis. What to Eat in Puebla Puebla is a safe and vibrant city … [Read more...]
