Lodging in and immediately around Hopland lodging is extremely limited. Visitors to Hopland might consider staying in Cloverdale (about 15 minutes to the south of Hopland) or in Ukiah - only about 15 minutes north of Hopland (both Cloverdale and Ukiah are easy drives to and from Hopland). Alternatively, Lakeport is about 40 minutes to the east - the quickest route being the very windy and slow Highway 175 (with parts of the road sometimes single … [Read more...]

Manzanillo, Mexico – Beaches

Manzanillo, Mexico – Cuyutlan & Paraiso

I like this area compared to the city of Manzanillo because this is rural Mexico and is well-removed from the beaten path of many tourists. It is a popular spot for vacationing Mexican families, many of whom are from Guadalajara. Cuyutlan like several of the … [Read more...]
