| Decending on the beautiful beaches in Santa Maria, Hautulco, Mexico TAKEN: FEBRUARY 24th, 2026 |
As I began to prepare myself to take part in the April A-Z Challenge, I found it hard to believe I have been torturing myself every year since 2013. You know, the platform where I muse in my electronic journal about a letter a day for 26 days for the entire month of April...with Sunday's off for good behavior.
Well, this past February was the first time in almost a decade that my travel buddy hubby and I vacationed during the shortest month of a dreary Canadian winter. The last time was 2019 and we spent a week in Cuba.
This year we sent the last week of February in Huatulco, Mexico – situated on Oaxaca’s Pacific coast.
For those unfamiliar, the city is located where the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, which is approximately four hundred kilometers east of Acapulco.
We spent our week in a small boutique hotel that was, in every respect, wonderful.
The photo I am sharing comes from a tradition I have always embraced, which is to snap a picture as the plane begins its descent and we prepare for arrival; to which this photo does not do the plethora of area beaches justice.
There is always something special for us when we arrive in a new city. We research it to death before we leave yet arrive without a plan. Just a couple of free spirits packing in as much of the experience before we have to leave.
What I will say about any new adventure that excites us most…
It is that our arrival is merely the simple transport vessel for the boat load of fun that we always manage to have!
