Logistics and Cultural Information

As soon as I get excited about a new trip, I go online and start booking. Technology makes it so straightforward!  I'm sure we all have mishaps, bring frustrated  at missed or cancelled flight, or dinner plans that went awry. I find that being resourceful and hungry will create a better and new experience.

 In Rome, Italy I randomly found All'Antice Vinaio, an Italian sandwich shop, after not finding our original locale!  All'Antice Vinaio makes incredibly delicious and budget friendly sandwiches! https://www.allanticovinaio.com/roma/  This chain has opened up shop in NYC and LA! Check it out! 

My job in this section is to share logistical and cultural knowledge so that your travel is as smooth and pleasurable as possible! Travel feeds our soul, mind, and body so my goal is to share as much experience as possible!

Mexico

  • Cultural tips - Mexican people are very hospitable.  A buenos Dias (good morning) and gracias (thank you) will take you far. Also if you are not fluent in Spanish,  En donde esta..? (Where is ?) and Cuanto cuesta (how much is it?) are helpful. Even further, Donde esta el mejor.. (where is the best...)?  I found the best seafood restaurant, Mariscos Los Cabos in Rosarito due to locals (and not even located on Yelp). https://g.co/kgs/H8k7YYC
  • Health concerns - Montezuma's revenge can be real. It has nothing to do with Mexico! Our organisms may not be used to the local diet. You can go to any pharmacy and buy over the counter diarrhea medicine called Treda. It works great! Be sure to eat seafood in locales that look clean. Recently, I had a bad reaction from seafood. 

San Carlos Bay, Sonora

  1. Getting there: Fly to Hermosillo Sonora (HMO), rent a car at airport, then drive 1.5 hrs to San Carlos. From CA, fly to San Diego, take the CBX bridge crossing go Tijuana Airport, then fly go Hermosillo. Flying from Tucson or Phoenix is a good option too!
  2.  Best time to go: Fall, Spring or Winter. Summer is extremely hot (over 100 degrees F.)
  3. Shopping: Guaymas City (next city) main market is the best place for Souvenirs. San Carlos can be pricy unless you are looking for unique art and pottery!
