How I did it
How to toast Christmas with a cerveza under a palm tree
It took me
7 days
It made me

How I did it: First, you need a whole bunch of spare cash, as Christmas is high season in Mexico. Prices are high, but it's worth the kick.Two ways to do it: buy an all-inclusive or fly in and then get your own hotel and meals.I went the 1st route, only because that was the most reasonable one considering the prices of direct flights at that time. The difference between non-stop flight ticket and all-inclusive cost was something like $500, so it made s… Read how I did it…

How to go snorkeling in warm tropical waters
It took me
1 day
It made me
gotta do it again!

How I did it: I had Canon D10, a waterproof camera with me, took many photos and video clips. that made the whole snorkeling adventure even sweeter.I hoped to see more spectacular coral reef, but that was not the best place to go. Cozumel, people, Cozumel is the place to do it! Read how I did it…

How to go see what the Maya culture left behind (and i refuse to call those 'ruins')
It took me
3 days
It made me
yay! yay! yay!

How I did it: 1-day trip to Chichenitza. Next day another to Tulum with a stop at an authentic Maya village, then off to Coba. I've got to say that I climbed the main piramid in Coba, and even saw the plaque with the last entry in Maya calendar (the day the world is supposed to end). Read how I did it…

fall in love again (read all 2 entries…)
well.

the tale of two captains was spectacular indeed, and i will always carry a memory of V in my heart. but that was not to continue, not in this world, anyway, despite everything.

i am again wishing, dreaming to, immensely, selflessly, lustfully, passionately, fall in love.

i’ve practiced for it this year. next year should be easier.

i should also add that this time, i would love that union to actually be a union, not a tug and pull affair. i want it to be a healthy and functional relationship with an individual who is happy with himself, and is therefore also able to be happy with other people.

so help me God.
Amen
