Throwback Travel: Our Honeymoon in Zihuatanejo

Honeymoon in Zihuatanejo

Just yesterday I came across an album of old photographs and was mesmerized by the grainy images, long forgotten, captured between the slightly dusty covers. It was an album of our honeymoon, back at the 'turn of the century', in 2000.  This was before digital cameras, Facebook check-ins, camera phones, and selfie sticks.  It was pure, unadulterated relaxation and romance, just like any honeymoon should be. Due to hurricane season being in full swing in September, we opted for a honeymoon resort on the western coast of Mexico, now known as the Thompson Zihuatanejo.

Bliss, all-inclusive luxury right on the beach.

Playing in the waves

Remembering HIS smile that captured my fancy the first time we met at that conference in San Francisco.

Practicing my mermaid skills in the infinity edged pool.

A reminder that no matter how imperfect we may feel on any given day,

we will look back and remember how easy it was to look this way.

Big beach hair- as usual.

An afternoon at the spa for two - erasing the exhaustion of a move to a new city, an engagement, designing a new build home,

landing a new job, and planning a garden wedding within three months.

One night we caught a taxi to a local restaurant, just up the hill, we had heard about around the pool, Kau-Kan. I will never forget that moment we stepped onto the upper terrace, panoramic views with ethereal music playing in the background. It was pure magic!

It was one of those moments of sensual perfection -- the sights, the sound, the flavors, the scents -  that you never want to forget.  A honeymoon should be designed to capture those kinds of moments that you reflect on over and over as the years go by.

Memories of a lifetime....
