Life has been intervening lately with blog posting time, not to mention we're currently not traveling and I don't have anything novel to write about. And here's the dog ate my homework excuse -- my former laptop crashed in the late spring and destroyed all my photo files prior to our last Isla trip in June. That's made posting very time-consuming and difficult. I do have most of my photo files on a backup device, but I'm reluctant to risk this laptop because who knows what's lurking there.
I could tell you about the recent books I've read that I loved (The Thread, In the Kingdom of Men, Cuba Diaries, etc...), but you can catch that down on the sidebar. I've also been mulling whether I want to continue posting on any kind of regular basis, or just occasionally when I have trip stories and photos to share.
As you can tell, I'm befuddled and bamboozled at the moment! : ) For now, instead of declaring a total departure, I may post the occasional rerun until our next adventure in November. Or maybe I could just show filmstrips everyday like my son's seventh grade science teacher!
Hope I'm forgiven for my current slacker attitude! This too shall pass!
Here's a video from our 2011 November/December trip to Isla Mujeres. I'm hoping our upcoming trip will be just as much fun (without any dental complications)!
I love that and it could be an ad for Isla...a nice cross-section of pics.
ReplyDeleteKeep on 'keepin' on...' I love your posts. Have fun in November.
It's just ok to post whenever you please. It's supposed to be fun!
ReplyDeleteI can always heckle you for no reason.
November will be here in no time at all!
I live in Belize and have the same problem. My husband has been suffering from a pinched nerve for a few weeks, and we haven't been doing much of anything interesting. I know people appreciate when we post, but sometimes it's just the same old, same old. Everyone should understand "blogging gaps" since it's not like this is a job or anything -- it is supposed to be fun, right? I try not to let the pressure get to me, but sometimes it does!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, Becky! My readership has dropped off considerably--thank you for commenting--it's appreciated! My daily life is pretty boring & I can post only so many photos of the cat & dog!
ReplyDeleteI like your site and it inspires me to continue to improve on mine. I have tried to keep it impersonal to a great extent and as such, I intentionally omit family photos or information I feel that degree of openness or intimacy is best reserved for private emails and communication so I try to stick to photography and examples of my artistic pursuits. As a result, however, it can appear a bit flat and, well, one dimensional. I am also no local historian/social butterfly/gadfly/or authority, just a property owner in Huatulco for the past 7 years.
ReplyDeleteI must say, however, that the more I post to it the more effortless it becomes rather than feeling any burden of duty or responsibility to it.
Of course, if it starts to feel like work I will immediately stop doing it.
enuf.

Jim, I recently found your blog when I was looking at Huatalco. We'd like to come down in January or February. I'm looking at United flights now. The area looks beautiful!
