The wedding of Kristie and Jon at Mr. Sancho's in Cozumel, Mexico
2008-06-03 04:31:00 I have posted sample images from the wedding of Kristie and Jon at Mr. Sancho's in Cozumel, Mexico. Unfortunately, it rained heavily that afternoon. And more unfortunately is that we were all moved into a small kiosk, where it rained more inside than outside.I tried to do my best shooting inside a small and crowded place, with water falling all over my equipment and lens. Anyway, a few shots resulted nice from the brief moments when rain stopped.You can see the gallery here: http://www.eduardomachuca.net/g-allery/5083896_qMVj6#306238314_-tpLadEduardo Machucawww.eduardomachuca.netww-w.eduardomachuca.com

CANCUN - MARGARITAVILLE - ONLINE STATE OF MIND - COZUMEL - RIVIERA MAYA - J
2008-05-17 06:52:00 Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Margaritaville……It’s in the tropics somewhere between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder, but no parallels of latitude or longitude mark the spot exactly. You don’t have to be a navigator to get there. Palm trees provide the camouflage. Ocean breezes bring the seaplanes and sailboats, tourists and travelers. Passports are not required. Island Music rules. No waiting in lines for anything. There is a beach and a thatched roof bar perched on the edge of the turquoise blue sea where you can always find a bar stool. There are lots of lies and loads of stories. It’s a comical concoction that blends together like tequila, salt and limes. There simply wouldn’t be a Margaritaville without him… Throughout his nearly 40-year career, Jimmy Buffett has established himself as the musical Mark Twain - a true American storyteller. In songs both factual and fictitious (and more than a few that blur the line in-between), Bu...

Cozumel, Belize and Nassau
2008-01-22 01:08:00 I am trying to decide what excursions we will most enjoy while in Port. We enjoy history and easy going adventures but nothing to strenuous. Since we are not experienced travelers I would prefer to book through the cruise line. Any suggestions from those of you who have really enjoyed their time in port?

Meet Me In THE NEW Cozumel
2006-10-04 15:58:00 Just before Chicago's ITME, I had the opportunity to visit many meeting planners with Tulio Baruch, the Sales Manager of the Presidente InterContinental Cozumel during his sales calls in the United States. He had an amazing presentation showing the new resort and talking about the changes they had made to the experience people will now receive when they travel to Cozumel. The hotel was completely gutted and rebuilt maintaining only its private island location. The company spent just over 25 million dollars to replace the resort, and added new features planners are going to be very happy to see. They reduced the number of rooms on property to add several ocean view suites. The Resort has many true beachfront rooms, where from your bed to the sand is a few steps away. Two meeting rooms were added, and if you have a group in house of 50 rooms or more, they will NOT take another group. Tulio spent some time talking to planners about the resort's renovation, about how the...
Cozumel: Day 7
2006-06-21 04:51:00 We again awoke thinking we slept late only to find out that it was only 8:30 here. We took care of some blogging for yesterday and by the time we new it it was already 11:00. So we got ready and headed to the beach for some lunch at the beach club where the view is always good, as you can see. We did our part in devouring the food from the buffet including some extremely spicy stuff that Ray found. It didn't look like it should be that hot since it looked green, almost like it was jalepenos, only a lot more spicy.After that we went back to the room to change for the beach. I guess we aren't that bright since neither of us thought to put our bathing suits on before we went to eat next to the water. Either way we made our trip back to the water, got a palapa, and headed to get a hobie cat. Both of the boats were already out so we thought we would do some kayaking in the ocean. Again, neither of us are that bright because that was like the worst choice. That was no fun at al...
Cozumel: Day 6
2006-06-20 04:53:00 We woke up feeling we slept later than usual only to find it was 8:30 and that we had 2 hours until the boat was coming to pick us up. We got dressed and headed to breakfast at La Posada yet again, as its the only one open for breakfast. We had some of the usual suspects and returned to the room to finish getting ready for the day.It was now 10:00 and we headed to the pier to wait for the boat. We gathered our beach towels on our way there and began our wait. We strolled the beach looking for shells and things while we waited to help pass the time. Finally the boat arrived. The guy on the boat asked if we had our ticket and our money for the park fee, since the reefs are considered a national marine park. I went to get my wallet out of our bag and d'oh, I left it in the room. Ray told the guy it would only take her 5 minutes to go back and get it. You should have seen her run, those little legs were just-a-booking-it. Well she made it back in less than 5 minutes, gave him...
Cozumel: Day 5
2006-06-19 04:58:00 First and foremost, Happy Father's Day to both of our Dads out there!Well, we woke up this morning, and I wasn't feeling all that good, so Ray did some research and apparently it's Montezuma's Revenge. If you're not familiar with this term, well then I'm not going to give you the details, so you'll have to figure it out for yourselves. Anyway, we woke up late and started our day with lunch at La Posada, and with what I have, nothing sounded good.After that we went to get our Jeep so that we could head into town and check out the town's center. It was hotter than ever and our first stop was the Cozumel Museum. The museum wasn't the greatest but there were a few cool things that we learned, the Aztecs used rock deodorant just like me only a thousand years or so before me, and Ray liked the fact that the displays talked about pirates, Jean Lafitte in particular. We finished up the museum and headed to La Plaza, which is the local hang out with shops all around the courtya...
Cozumel: Day 4
2006-06-18 05:35:00 We woke up around 9:00 am with plans to try to rent a car for the day and checkout downtown. We first stopped to have breakfast at La Posada and then headed to the desk where they guy was advertising a $20 car rental yesterday. Apparently the catch was that you had to sit and listen to their timeshare sales pitch, so we got suckered into that. All in all, its not that bad of an idea, if you are typically terrible at finding good vacation package deals, but it would have just ended up costing us a lot more than just resort-hopping on our own. About an hour and a half later - after sitting in a room that didn't seem to have the AC working the whole time, after listening to a pitch that lasted quite a bit longer than it was supposed to, after a glass of water and three different sales reps - we were free to go with our car rental coupons.By that point it was too late to rent a car and get any good use out of it, so we decided to save it for tomorrow. Since we didn't really have any ...
Cozumel: Day 3
2006-06-16 15:52:00 6:00 am - the cell phone started ringing. We expected it to be the alarm we had set to wake us up for the day, but it was over 1.5 hours early and just kept ringing. Hello? Nothing. It rang again. Hello? It was Dylan calling to say "Good Morning" before heading off to his last day of Kindergarten. We tried going back to sleep to rest up for what should be a busy day, but to no avail - we were up for good at that point. We eventually got out of bed, dressed, sunscreened, and headed for breakfast at La Posada again. We had plenty of time to kill because of getting up much earlier than planned, so we took our time with breakfast, getting our beach towels for the day, and heading off to the lobby to wait for our ride to show up.Our tour guide showed up right on time at 9:30 am, showed us to our Jeep, and I hopped in the driver's seat and we sped off. We made one quick stop to pick up a few more people in another Jeep and we headed off to our first destination, Dzul Ha. Dzul Ha (pron. z...
Cozumel: Day 2
2006-06-15 22:43:00 We were woken up this morning by the tourism people at 8:30 am and said we needed to go ahead and make our reservation for the trip back to the airport on Wednesday. So we finally got ready and went to see them and had some breakfast from the buffet at La Posada. We then made our plans to go sight seeing tomorrow, which you'll have to wait to read about.Then it was off to the beach to have some fun. We got our snorkel gear and headed in to the big blue. It was a little cloudy the first 20-30 yards out but then it turned very clear. We saw thousands of fish swimming as a school and avoiding a barracuda that was at least 4 feet long, no kidding. They looked like the fish in "Finding Nemo" that made themselves into shapes for Dory. We also saw many tropical fish of different types and colors.We decided we had enough of the snorkeling for the day and went and got a Hobie Cat, which is a small catamaran. Ray said this could be our pirate ship, so I named it the S.S. Aaarrrrr. We ...
Cozumel: Day 1
2006-06-15 05:34:00 We woke up at 3:45 am to head to the airport, and by 7:00 am we were on our way to Dallas/Fort Worth. A quick stop and then the last leg to Cozumel. After arriving and pressing the magic Customs button, which we got a green light on, we were greeted by our driver and then off to the hotel. The driver found a way to pack 12 adults in a van and maneuvered it like Mario Andretti through the town. We turned off the road and discovered the hotel entrance was gated, woo hoo, just like home. We got out and as we entered the main lobby, we were greeted with a glass of bubbly while we waited to check in.Well, after the lack of food on the flights, we were starving and headed to the first buffet we could find. Two plates later, I determined that that amount of food was not a good idea.We then decided to head to the beach. We had only 15 mins to snorkel, since the dive shop closed at 4:30. Within that time period we lost Ray's snorkel while trying to detangle her hair from the mask. Th... |
