Welcome to our Uaymitun 2018 Blog!
Given the bitter cold of December and the late snows, we are very happy to return to Uaymitun for the rest of the winter!
Once again, we’ll get to spend quality time with my sister, Val, and her husband, George, who are just 6 houses down the beach!
Cheers from Uaymitun, MX!

As many of you have been living through the latest Polar Vortex, you can well appreciate our desire to head south to the warmth!
After a fun evening celebrating New Year’s Eve with Don & Michelle, Lulu & Calvin, Dave & Deb and Roy & Donna, we closed up the house early on New Year’s Day and after a visit with Kerry & Bryan and the boys, headed towards a Toronto airport hotel.
The next morning, after playing Gate Change Tag three times, our plane finally pulled up to our departure gate.
We had a good flight to Mérida and were fortunate enough to have gone online and print off our Immigration Forms before leaving… so we didn’t have to do them in the line when we arrived! Three of our bags came out right away, but we had to wait about 20 minutes for our 4th to arrive! 🙁
Then we pushed the red light / green light and got red, so they checked all our bags! Oh well!
Our rental car was waiting for us, so we headed for our beach house, Uaymarima in Uaymitun!
Our friends, Mat & Terri, had us over for dinner when we arrived, which was great!
There aren’t many things nicer than waking up our first morning and having our first coffee on the patio overlooking the Gulf!
The next three days were full of trips to town for supplies and such, but here’s a few of my favourite pictures of non-shopping times!
On one of our trips to Mérida, we visited with Gaby & Billy, our house owners at their new house. After heavy duty grocery shopping, we were forced to stop for a light lunch of soup and lettuce wraps at PF Chang’s in the Altabrisa Mall!
On Sunday afternoon, we made our first trip into Progreso to walk on the Malecón. We met up with Val & George and Mat & Terri for a beverage on the beach!
We have been fortunate over the last few years to be able to celebrate our anniversary down here… and usually with Val & George!
This year we were able to celebrate our 46th anniversary at Hacienda Xcanatun near Mérida with Val & George and Mat & Terri!
That’s it for our first blog… stay tuned!
Cheers!
Love to all,
