Following up on Patty’s blogs, I am hoping to make it to Baja this year and check out the St. Regis Punta Mita. I plan on playing golf for a GTee golf review and then swinging by Veracruz for a World Trade Center meeting. I hear (and see on the Web site) that the St. Regis Punta Mita is absolutely beautiful with a magnificent golf course, the Punta Mita Pacifico Golf Course. It features a “19th hole” that is only accessible at low tide! The resort itself also looks wonderful with a large pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Guest rooms and suites appear to be roomy and luxurious and there are a host of restaurant options — thankfully none of them are the chain chefs like Michael Mina and Wolfgang Puck. Am I the only person who has had enough of the sameness around the world? I believe in using local talent rather than exporting chefs, but that is for another blog! Before or after my visit to the St. Regis, I plan to join the international annual meeting of the World Trade Center in Veracruz on the Gulf. I will meet with our friends from the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia and they will help me introduce Global Traveler to other organizations around the world who can work with us in the future. Mexico, here I come! -Fran Gallagher, publisher and CEO
