Welcome to our Uaymitun 2017 Blog!
It has been a year of recuperation, with the untimely passing of our brother-in-law, Rick, and Elaine’s dad last fall. We are looking forward to a relaxing and hopefully carefree, 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!

After a wonderful Christmas time with family and a great New Years Eve with friends, it was time to quickly pack and get ready to head back to Uaymitun.
Friends, Dave and Deb drove us up to Wellesley, where we said our goodbyes to Bryan, Jack and Ben and then Kerry drove us to our Toronto airport hotel.
We were able to have dinner with friends, Mat & Terri, at the Keg!
Another early morning, January 3rd, but our Westjet flight from Toronto to Mérida was on time and passage through Immigration and Customs was incredibly quick!
We picked up our car at the Mérida airport and quickly drove out to our beach house, Uaymarima, in Uaymitun! Our valedors greeted us warmly and we started to get settled in.
While Elaine nested inside…
I inspected the house, including up on the roof!
We had several days of the kind of weather you look forward to!
On Thursday, my sister Val and husband George flew in on a red-eye flight Vancouver-Mexico City-Mérida and they came over for dinner that night. We walked down the beach the following morning for a visit!
Then, on Saturday, El Norté arrived!
… then it wasn’t quite so calm!
I guess not everyone sees a gale as a bad thing!
January 8th, we celebrated out 45th wedding anniversary! We had a wonderful dinner with Val & George at La Hacienda Xcanatun near Mérida!
That’s it for our first blog… stay tuned!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-doug and elaine
PS: a last minute update!
We extend our deepest condolences to Dave Richie and family on the passing of his mother this morning!

Hope El Norte is gone by the time we get there!
Thanks for your offer of condolences:)
That windsurfer made me laugh – hopefully he could stop – otherwise it’s a long walk back !! Enjoy your Winter 🙂
Looks lovely as always! Have a great time whilst we freeze in the Although not by North America standards!
