Wine Festival in Playa del Carmen Next Week!

UPDATE:  Apparently the wine festival has been rescheduled for March.  No wonder the details were scarce!  Thank you for the update, Libby!

The Great News:  There is going to be a wine festival held at the La Isla Restaurant inside Xcaret next week from September 22nd-25th.

The Not-So-Great News:  Details online are scarce, as the link for their event on Facebook isn't working.

So, for all of you wine lovers out there, contact Xcaret for more details.

Puerto Morelos: Little of This, Little of That

• Big Thanks to "All About Cancun" for the shout out their recent article: 3 Great Blog About Living in Cancun.  [We got honorable mention because we feature Puerto Morelos -- but I'll take it!  ;) ]

• Puerto Morelos Travel Log:  The Sugartarian recently visited Puerto Morelos and snapped some gorgeous photos of our deserted September Beach!  Here is the link to Part 1 of her Puerto Morelos trip.  Looking forward to seeing Part 2!

• A recent article about Quintana Roo and its new evolution as a destination has lots of interesting info.

• The Tres Rios Resort will be hosting a course on Permaculture, if that topic peaks your fancy.  Rates are very reasonable.  I am considering going -- not sure why, but the topic has got me interested. Are you?

• Great Article about the new limitations on using USD in Mexico.  If you don't want to read the article, you can read my cliff notes --  Cliff Notes Version:  PLAN ON USING PESOS WHILE YOU ARE HERE.  YOUR USD WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ACCEPTED.

It's Adios for me, folks.  I am outta here next week to satisfy my "horse fix"  and watch the World Equestrian Games being hosted for the first time in this HEMISPHERE, in Lexington, Kentucky.  Can't wait to see the games and smell horses again!

Using USD in Mexico has become more difficult. Plan on pesos!

In an effort to make the lives of money launderers/drug dealers more difficult, Mexico has put tough new restrictions on using USD in Mexico.

Check out the "Life Just Became Simpler" (ignore the irony here) blog for a great article on the topic.
