No Traffic on Isla Palenque!
August 24th, 2010 by TimGadling had a nerve wrecking story yesterday on a nine-day, 62-mile traffic jam in China. Here is an excerpt: Before you start the commute home for the day, consider how bad the traffic could be. Sure, you could get stuck behind a bus or on the train for an hour or so, but how about [...]

Love at First Sight
July 1st, 2010 by JoeI recently set foot on the 434 acre island for the first time. Pulling up onto the 4000 ft long crescent beach, Playa Palenque, the feeling was very much as if I had just discovered land after treading water for days having survived a horrific plane crash. The island, so untouched and lush with natural [...]
Explore Isla Palenque on this 4WD Golf Cart!
June 28th, 2010 by ManyaLast week I was looking for an “all terrain” golf cart. Sounds strange even to the avid golfer I would imagine.
