Mexico's Asur to Fight for Riviera Maya Airport
2008-02-22 22:50:00
By Chris AspinMEXICO CITY, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Mexican airport operator Asur will fight to take part in the bidding process for a planned airport in the Riviera Maya region which will drain passenger traffic away from its key runways at the resort of Cancun.Chief Financial Officer Adolfo Castro said on Thursday Asur (ASURB.MX: Quote, Profile, Research)(ASR.N: Quote, Profile, Research) will take the case to court if government authorities do not allow the company to bid for the rights to build and run the airport in Quintana Roo state.The government has not yet decided if Asur can participate in the bidding process. The sticking point is competition because Asur already operates nine airports in Mexico's southeast, including Cancun."If they do not allow us to participate we will use all the legal tools that we have in hand in order to protect our rights and in order to be part of the bidding process," Castro told a conference call with analysts.The government wants Rivie...

Girls Night Out at Bad Boyz on the Beach
2008-02-22 05:20:00
Miss Birdie and I decided to have a long overdue "Girls Night Out" and leave the boys at home in front of the TV. We haven't been able to get out to see a session of J.J. and the Nasty Bastards in a few months and WOW.....what a scene. Bad Boyz on the Beach (still Captain Dave's to us old timers) is the absolute place to be on a Thurday evening. The beach was packed, the bar was packed, the dance floor was jumping.

Dinner at the New "El Angus Grill"
2008-02-21 05:40:00
As "he who thinks he is the boss of me" is back in the States on a whirlwind shopping expedition, I have been taking the opportunity to spend time with friends and divert from my normal daily routine. Tonite, the kids were all meeting at Papalote to watch the lunar eclipse so, with an evening to myself (joy) I decided to go out. That's right....pry my fingers from the keyboard and actually go OUT OF THE HOUSE to dinner with friends John and Libby of In the Roo. We decided on El Angus Grill : "El" - to let you know that it's Mexican, as Libby was quick to point out, "Angus" - undoubtedly, to appeal to Americans, fearful of ingesting foreign, and therefore far less superior and certainly dangerous, meat products (despite the fact that true Angus Cows are from Scotland....but I digress). The restaurant, located on the corner of calle 26 and Avenida 10 was, just a few short months ago, someone's residence. The transformation to res...

Carnival 2008 in Playa del Carmen
2008-02-18 02:45:00
This evening, the kids and I had the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time. Since Carnival was postponed this year because of the local elections, there has been some confusion about when and if Playa del Carmen would hold this much anticipated festival. While Playa is notorious for its inability to properly deseminate information, this year really took the cake. No posters, no painted banners, no floats lining the streets letting us know that the festival was approaching. In years past, the whole Municipal Plaza has been a whir with activity: vendors hawking their wares, travelling carnies setting up death trap thrill rides, churro carts filling the air with the smell of warm sugar and fun!! Sadly, we seem to have missed out on all that this year. What we did see was a short but enthusiastic parade down 5th Avenue. The kids were thrilled !! This year's parade was a much abbreviated version of Carnival that once stretched from the zocalo ...

Interplaya Bests the UNACH Ocelotes 2-1 !!

The littlest Kinnons and I spent the afternoon cheering for our own hometown futbol team (that's soccer to you gringos) Interplaya in a heated match against the UNACH Ocelotes from Chiapas. During the season, the Villanueva Stadium hosts second division futbol every other Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The opposing team representing the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Chiapas fought a good battle but, in the end, were no match for Interplaya. The crowd was small but enthusiastic.

A Quiet, Cloudy Day in Chemuyil

Rob and I were working with a Buyer yesterday in Chemuyil and rather than rush back to the office, we decided to take our time and stay for lunch. Here are some photos of the beach and the town of Chemuyil.I love Xcacel beach on days like this. It reminds me of Rhode Island and makes me a bit homesick.The guard shack at the entry to Xcacel. The beach is open to the public for a small donation which supports the caretakers of the property and the beach.

A Day at Cenote Azul with Tacogirl and Friends
2008-02-11 02:28:00
A few weeks ago, new friend and fellow blogger Laurie (Tacogirl) gave me the heads up that she and Paul (Tacoboy) would be making the journey from Ambergris Caye, Belize to Playa del Carmen to spend some time with her family vacationing in the area. Having had such a wonderful time on Ambergris, I wanted to make sure to show them a good time and be a good host in my adopted home town. I decided to treat them to a uniquely Yucatecan experience: a day at a local cenote. Here are some pictures from our lazy day on the Riviera Maya.Cenote Azul located just a few minutes south of Puerto Aventuras on the west side of 307. Entrance is $50 pesos per adult.

Just Another Gringo in Belize - Part 3 - Changes in Attitude
2008-01-26 02:41:00
Our first morning in Ambergris and we hit the ground running. First: off in search of breakfast. Having already made fast friends with the time share guys for Captain Morgan’s Retreat, we were already ‘in the know” about where to find good, cheap eats. Travel Tip: If you have the patience to weed out the bull sh*t and the obligatory “pitch”, timeshare salesmen are the best source of information about where to eat and drink well and economically. Low season, lean times and voracious drug habits necessitate this self-preservatory skill among this particular set. We went off in search of a spot called “My Secret Deli”. Secret… indeed. Deli…not so much.  The restaurant consists of a cramped residential kitchen and an attached eating area with two tables and a Coke machine. Brightly colored oil-cloth dressed the tables protected by a thick clear plastic sheet. Oddly enough, this was precisely the dining experience we were looki...

Update - The Riviera Maya International Airport
2008-01-24 18:29:00
The much-discussed Riviera Maya airport will be in the Tulúm areaThose of you who have bought property in the Riviera Maya, take heart—the wait for a new airport may soon be over. Bidding for the new Riviera Maya Airport has not yet been announced, but the project is now considered so certain that it’s regularly listed as one of Mexico’s top infrastructure projects for 2008.Having a shorter commute to your property is hardly the only benefit a new airport may bring. As we've seen in other areas in Mexico, a new airport can drive up real estate values, attract foreign investment, and lead to public and private infrastructure projects. (And, in fact, highway expansion and improvement in the state of Quintana Roo, where the airport will be located, are also high on the list of infrastructure projects for this year.)Newspapers here in the Yucatán say that the preliminary studies for the airport, including market and technical studies, have been submit...

Just Another Gringo in Belize - Part 2 - Changes in Latitude

We arrived safely at the airstrip in San Pedro which was blessedly much longer than the one we had just narrowly departed from. We grabbed our bags and headed out to find our accommodations.  Baggage claim at TropicAir. Two guys and a hand truck.The hotel we had chosen, Lily’s, is located on Front Street, in the heart of town and right on the shore overlooking several busy piers. As we were not planning on spending a lot of time there, a sumptuous luxurious hotel room was not necessary. We selected Lily’s based on its price, seaside location and proximity to all the activity of downtown San Pedro.I "borrowed" this image off of the web. Thank you Google!As soon as we arrived a felt as if we can been somehow transported into an episode of “The Twilight Zone” .

I love to torture my husband. I know that sounds terrible, but it's true. Nothing fills me with glee quite like putting Rob in situations where he is out of his element. Last weekend, we took a long overdue and much deserved mini-vacation to Ambergris Caye, Belize . Somehow, I managed to cram my husband into a run down bus, a tiny puddle jumper and a budget level hotel room...all in the course of just five short days. Joy! Despite our best effforts we embarked on the first leg of our journey three hours later than we had "planned". The drive to Chetumal was easy and uneventful. It's about 4 hours from Playa to the Belizean boarder (moving along at a pretty good clip). We snuck our car in the parking lot in the back of the Coco's Hotel and caught a cab to the crossing.  The immigration/customs process is kind of a nusance. First, one must stop before crossing the bridge into Belize and have your documents checked which, in our case, means both our US pa...

The special set menu for the evening was well excecuted with the exception of the fois gras which was sliced too thin and over cooked. We started with some delicious oysters flown in from Maine. They were cold, clean and fresh and had me missing New England. The bacon wrapped lobster medallion served on a bellini with saffron beurre blanc was delicate and tasty.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
2007-12-27 19:03:00
Well, we have survived another Christmas in Playa! I have to admit, I was very disappointed this October when we looked at our calendar and realized that we had just too many customers coming into town for the holidays. Not that we're not THRILLED to have the business...I just wish they would all wait until my holidays have come to a close. Ah well, such is the life of a Real Estate agent in the tropics. If you have never experienced it before, Christmas here is a bit anti-climatic. Perhaps if we were here on vacation, celebrating the holidays, I would feel more cheery about the whole situation. Nice warm weather, palm trees, sandy beaches, fruity tropical cocktails. It all sounds quite appealing. However, we are NOT on vacation. We have called Playa del Carmen home for three years now. Having three children, we struggle every winter to instill in them that delightful sense of anticipation and excitement that naturally accompanies Christmas in the northeastern United States. Whi...

Casa Macaw - A New Vacation Rental in Playacar!!
2007-12-16 18:03:00
 Actually, Casa Macaw has been a popular Vacation Rental in Playcar for a number of years. This summer, the owners, Jan and Larry Hoffman of Mexico Escape, a local property management and vacation rental company, decided it was time for a change. Over the past few months, they have added another bedroom, a spacious laundry area and completely revamped and updated this property. Gone is the pale pastel paint scheme and tropical kitsch. The rooms are now bathed in rich jewel tones, finished with local hardwoods and warm earth tone tile and granite. The look is much more elegant and will certainly please renters with a more discerning eye for design. The most dramatic change is the addition of a fourth bedroom in the upper level of the curved glass observatory and the new private plunge pool. The homes in the Villas de Mayab compound already share a large common pool and tennis courts but a villa with its own pool is a real draw for vacation renters. The n...
