Zihuatanejo

Zihuatanejo, that should be our southern terminus for this seasons trip.  The Lonely Planet travel guide calls it; "a Pacific paradise of beautiful beaches, friendly people and an easygoing lifestyle".  I love the idea of going to a place that I pronounce.  To me that's unbelievably exotic and irresistible but how do you pronounce it?  I googled it and found this charming clip from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.  


See-wah-ta-na-ho, one you get it, it just slides off your tongue nice and smooth like a good margarita.  I like that and now I feel much better about all the work that we've been doing in prepration for this trip.  All we have to do is put our house in order, prep the boat and then take off sailing.  But those poor guys in that movie, they had to hand dig their way out of a State Penitentiary, avoids recapture and then illegally cross the boarder in order to get to Zihuatanejo.  We've got is so much easier.  Ok, no more wining from me...
