Dennis' brain from the inside.
CHAPTER 11 Our trips to Mexico are mostly non-adventure vacations, unlike travelling to destinations where you're constantly stimulated by museums, galleries, and historical sites. Over the years we've seen many of the prominent siites within a hundred kilometres or so of where were staying so now we have smaller goals when we rouse each day. …
CHAPTER 10 A 'Mexican haircut' in the old west could mean being scalped while the scalpee was still conscious. Let me say that they have come quite a ways since then... but not all the way yet. Today was the day that I had set aside to make the world a more beautiful place …
CHAPTER 9 Dale and Donna (D&D from now on) have graced us with their presence and now we are four in our wonderful seaside residence. Dale is reasonably normal, Donna, well the jury is still out on that one. They arrived at suppertime on Thursday and now it is suppertime on Saturday. We are all …
CHAPTER 8 I had a brief tryst with the porcelain human waste disposal unit this afternoon. It reminded me of my high school sweetheart relationships; it was unsatisfying and left me feeling empty inside. It was like a turbocharger had been melded to my colon, but I did get to read several chapters of the …
CHAPTER 7 It was several years back that Carol and I were in the same location, the Corita. We were just getting the feel of Mexican leisure life at that time and everything was still quite new. This particular day we were standing on the beach in front of the hotel taking in the warmth …
CHAPTER 6 Let's make a hard right turn off this Mexican highway for a brief diversion and go back in time to 1958. I grew up in south Winnipeg off Stafford St., on Hector Ave.. It was an area where everyone was living in 1000 sq. ft. bungalows populated by immigrants, mostly from ravaged …

CHAPTER 5 We were awake at the crack of nine, followed by our regular routine of granola, coffee (usually with some baking), check emails, news feeds, weather back home, etc. and we were out the door by 10:45. Another grueling start to the day. We run the gauntlet of fellow Coritans lounging by the pool …
CHAPTER 4 Yesterday was not a funny day. Not much sleep, bad bed, no milk for our granola, cloudy skies (what's up with that God?), and the loudest room in the hotel. On top of that it's our Organization Day where we take the bus to the Mega for our supplies after spending 45 minutes …
CHAPTER 3 After two uneventful flights, the first taking us to Seattle and the second landing us in PV right around dusk. After negotiating Immigration and then Mexican Customs we grab a taxi to our southern home at the Hotel Corita. We check in and head for our room which is poolside facing the bay. …
Chapter 2 Is it just me or did it seem like it took forever to get to this day? That's the last time I book a trip 211 days and 13 hours in advance. Yesterday I spoke with our friends Richard and Nina (Ricardo and Ninja) who are currently in Vallarta and they have assured …
Chapter 1 It's only Jan.22 and we're not leaving for our trip to Bucerias until Feb.7 but that hasn't stopped me from day dreaming about sunny skies, warm weather, and soft zephyrs. Granted, it's been a relatively mild winter (-8 was the coldest daytime temp) but grey skies and short days are reason enough to …
