Mexico Dangerous? We explore…

A week in Punta Mita and Sayulita, Mexico revealed several dangerous reasons 
why you might avoid a visit:

If you love cold winter weather, you should not visit temperate Mexico

If you don’t enjoy excellent dining: fresh fruit and vegetables; daily caught fish, expertly grilled; and chilled Margaritas

Surfing, golfing, lazing on balmy sandy beaches or swimming in warm bays are unappealing

If any of these details describe an idyllic Journey, truly it is dangerous for you to visit Mexico.

A delightful week in Punta Mita and Sayulita convinced me: this is the new HOT PLACE to vacation. Quick direct flights from the coast land you in Puerto Vallarta, our trusted drivers in new SUV’s whisk you to a luxurious hotel or spectacular villa on the ocean. Sayulita is a charming authentic village, you won’t find  hordes of tourists here. Warm water and excellent surfing from your own private beach offered at a few villas. Villas provide professional staff year around; each may include several pools, gym, sauna, masseuse, yoga classes, off road vehicles, bicycles – an abundant supply of toys to keep an entire family amused for days.

I’ve been iffy on Mexico due to food issues and the crazy media descriptions. Of course, there are dangerous cities in Mexico as there are in any country; however, the areas we recommend are completely safe in every respect.

Missed Summer Camp? Refined Pop Up Tents

Most who know me, understand that unless it is a five star luxury tent in thebush, I don’t venture forth to sleep in tents. Behavior modification might be in order! Luxury tenting has found a friend in this small firm who provide pop up lodging in delightful tents in the country side, woods or private vineyards, or on your own back forty.

Each European style canvas tent is fully furnished with rugs; a full size bed, dressed in 400 count sheets, down comforter and pillows and Pendleton blankets. Rustic, refined sleep out. Tempting indeed!

Services may include a tent butler, portable loo, chef and dining tent. Arrive at your private site – butler on hand to present a chilled drink, following a gourmet camp supper, enjoy gooey s’mores. Scrabble under the stars? Corporate retreat in the woods sans the drawbacks of porting all the gear. Generations of family camping expedition. Weddings, wine tasting sleep overs – endless options! Stargazing, Snoozing In Comfort. Legacy
