Romance on the high seas for him

San Jose del Cabo Thursday night art walk

It is only 6 miles from the Marquis Los Cabos Resort to San Jose del Cabo, a quaint town that is working hard to freshen its image while maintaining its authenticity and colonial flavor.  I spoke with a gentleman who is a small restaurant business owner with deep involvement in the renovations and repairs of the city.  While owners of similar small businesses, most all family-owned and run, need the updating of the town, they are all adamant about keeping their culture and environment intact.   Read more about this at this link:  San Jose del Cabo Thursday night art walk

Marquis Los Cabos – a resort for all senses

Arriving at Marquis Los Cabos is like walking into the luxurious golden sun of Mexico.  I arrived late in the afternoon because of an airport snafu.    Everything took on a golden quality of light and air.  I was warmly greeted by a member of the guest relations department, offered a cold  cloth to freshen up and a refreshing glass of juice while the registration process was completed.  The bellman took my luggage and guided me to the casita that was to be my home for the next 3 days.

Getting married in the next 18 months?

Getting married in 2009 or 2010?  Have you considered a destination wedding?  The cost of weddings has risen dramatically over the past few years.   Sometimes there is a better value in a destination wedding.  Depending on the number of people you want to invite, the proximity and ability to travel of your guests to your wedding location, a destination wedding can prove to be the best value.

One destination that is well prepared for offering a destination wedding may not necessarily be forefront in your mind.  That destination is Thailand.  As an example, the Indigo Pearl  in Phuket has accommodated over 150 couples in arranging either a traditional Thai wedding, or a Western wedding.   Read more about this – click this link: Getting married in the next 18 months?

Romance the road less traveled

A great way to celebrate or rejuvenate your romance is to stop and smell the roses as the old saying goes.  This weekend we needed to go to Portland, OR from Seattle, WA.  Normally people jump on I-5 and away they go.  We opted instead to load up the car, the dog with his kennel and head off the beaten track.  We headed out of town via “99″ and took the Interurban Highway to Renton.  There we picked up Highway 167 and just outside of Tacoma turned onto Highway 161.  From the South Hill area, we just kept heading down back roads and country towns.    To read more, click this link: Romance the road less traveled
