  1. Breakfast tacos - beat your eggs like you beat your kids (I’m kidding, about the kids, whip the fuck out of the eggs until they are frothy) then add salt and melt good about of butter over medium heat then soft scramble with just the right amount of spatula. Buttery fluffy eggs are where it’s at - add your taco shit and enjoy the best breakfast ever invented.

    No button for that scene.

    I’ve got two new custom boards coming - including a long board - for this season. If I’m lucky we’ll be in the new place by august. Can’t wait. 

  3. What aged kids ?
     

    our days went like this - We woke up late, did adult things, then went to the beach, I read a lot, we laid on the beach and enjoyed tequila on the rocks, fresh pico and guac, went for a swim to cool off - love how clean the water was - and did that on a cycle for a few hours - then height of the heat of the day I napped in a hammock in doors to sleep off day drinking, then we got dressed - walked out to watch the sunset then walked to the square and picked a restaurant. After dinner we went back did adult things. Some days we added a lunch spot but usually left eating out for dinner.  
     

    You can find excursions but I think Holbox is best at the slowest pace you can tolerate imo. I will not take my kids there for a while, at least not until they understand the magic of truly wasting a day.  I’m sure others found it ok for kids and I’m sure you could too, I would expect it to be more challenging than IM. As long as you’re ready for that.

    there aren’t that many options for staying if it’s the same as when we went, I’d get water front hotel and go from there - being on the water is where it’s at for Holbox. Accommodations we stayed at were Mexico beach nice. 

    still traveling back I’ll find the hotel and post more pics tomorrow.

    I'm sure that's the case right now. I also feel like sometimes it's bullshit to jack the price up, but I have no proof. The house we're currently in was on the market for a while and magically had 'Multiple offers!! Put your best offer in NOW!' the day we bid on it. Ended up paying full asking which pissed me off at the time and honestly I wish we would have backed out.

    If it’s bullshit for a seller to drive the price higher in a sellers market then it’s bullshit for buyers to take advantage when times are tough.

    I don't think I'd make much of a sailor.

    I started to hyperventilate while being taught how to create a wake surfing wave.

    "Wait, that button does whaaaaaat?"  

     

    I had some anxiety the first day when the wind picked up to about the max you’d want to have for sailing. The power of the wind is incredible.

    Damn that statement couldn’t be truer.  I’m gonna blame mrs landomatic for that

    I deleted the hew a straight man that knows how to party. Having a few handsome gay men around who are fun and attentive to the women is an easy way to get laid.

    We went in March and loved it. Beat of beating to get to from CUN, but we rented a private shuttle and then took the ferry and then taxis to the house. Once settled we could walk to town and then explored via the golf cart.

    We stayed there. I just saw this. It’s slow for kids but we LOVED it. I posted about it on TOS on the IM thread. It’s unreal how awesome it is.  I hope your kids enjoy it. 
     

    I too think there are major infrastructure challenges namely it’s not close to Cancun. But it will develop so get it while it’s still good.

    I’ll dig up our pics later and post.

    Airstream is going have to address how much taller the younger generations are at some point.

    Firmly entrenched in middle age - we are barely willing to deal wirh queen beds anymore.  I think we are an outlier but our next RV has to have a king. I love the airstreams but I just don’t see how it’s going to work especially how bitchy I am without a huge bed.
