If there's one thing that sailing adventures thus far have taught us, it's that some places are simply destined to leave a mark on your heart. Isla Coronado, a hidden gem in the vast expanse of Mexico's coastal beauty, is one such place that made not only our fifth wedding...
The Early Years I was recently writing an upcoming blog post about our time in Isla Coronados For those of you that don’t know our story, this is a good time to tell it - well, the sparknotes version anyways. Chris and I officially met back in 2009 at a mutual friend's wedding....
