We’re going to Mexico!

Guys, this year has been a whirlwind of activity over at Sundeck.  A new home, new website, cd release, new blog, and a whole lotta flights and concerts.   P has also been working like a dog-teaching an overloaded schedule, designing the sets over at the community theater, sanding and repainting his boat and building/refinishing various pieces of furniture at home.  We are both ready for a reboot, and are pretty psyched that our spring breaks actually coincide this year.  In past years when we were doing the long-distance relationship thing, we were grateful that, because our breaks DIDN’T line up, we got to spend about 4 weeks in a row together–I spent my two weeks in Bermuda, and he spent his 2 weeks in Boston. But because of that, we could never “go on vacation”together; one of us was always working.

So THIS year, we are going on a real live vacation to Oaxaca and Huatulco Mexico.  We often travel during the summer months because as a musician and a teacher, we are “off” the month of July, and I have always traveled for work, but to take a week in the middle of the “work year” and get away from it all feels like the ultimate luxury to me.  It feels like we are going to be playing hooky for 8 days!

We are planning on staying at a bnb in the center of Oaxaca city and exploring Monte Alban, the markets and the amazing restaurants that I have been reading about.  And then we are going to fly down to Huatulco for a couple of days of sand, surf and utter relaxation.  Have any of you been to either place?  Any recommendations?  What are the “not-to-be-missed” spots?
