We thank them for spreading the word about Vamos and for congratulating Vanessa!

The announcement was made earlier this morning by CBS and it seems this season is going to be a lot of fun to watch! What will happen? Well, I guess Vanessa and her partner on the show Ralph already know and the rest of the world will just have to wait and see.

We love you “Bo” and we wish you the best on this cool journey. We are guessing you got to see more exotic places than you did while filming Vamos?! Haha

After wrapping up season 1, we all went on to other projects and adventures. Over the course of the following year, we searched for sponsorships but could not find any we felt were the right match. To be perfectly honest, not even the Mexico Tourism Board was able to sponsor the show. During the past year, we have been back to film in Cancun but mostly for smaller promotions. The area is still as beautiful as ever and it has inspired us to seek out new sponsors and to try and get the show on the air again. If someone like YellowTail, an Australian wine company, can sponsor the first season, we are sure we can find others closer to us, to the the same.

Currently, we are brainstorming ways to find that one perfect sponsor so that Season 2 of VAMOS! can become a reality. If you have potential leads or have interest in being a charter sponsor of the program please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be holding meetings with potential partners over the next month to two. You can email us through our website or email sales@bauhausmedia.com

We wish you all a very Happy Year in 2012!

Producer Luis, Vanessa, and The Crew of VAMOS! Travel Show!

We had a blast doing it and I hope you all had a great time watching it as well. We are currently looking for sponsorship for our second season and hope to bring that to you soon. Also, we have some great news. Time Warner San Antonio On-Demand has picked up Season One of Vamos! for a year! Starting later this month, Time Warner subscribers will be able to catch Vamos! anytime they want!  Special thanks to everyone at TWC for making that happen.

On a sidenote. Have you been thinking about getting away? Well, the Vamos! crew is headed for some fun in the sun in late June. If you are interested in flying out with us to beautiful Playa del Carmen, you are invited! We will be flying on a charter flight and will be staying at the gorgeous and entertaining Sandos Playacar all-inclusive resort! All you have to do is log-on to www.vamostravelshow.com or call the amazing Alan Martin from Adventure Group at 210-349-6446, he will definitely hook you up with this amazing deal.

Again, thanks for your continued support and we hope to bring Season 2 to you – soon!

We hope you all had an amazing holiday season. It’s back to work for the Vamos crew as we get ready to bring you the last of our first season shows.

This weekend we travel back to Cancun and go down south about an hour to visit a couple of Karisma resorts. The first stop was El Dorado Seaside Suites. The hotel was beautiful and lots of fun. We had the chance to meet some amazing people from Canada while staying there and created some life-long memories. In fact, for one of the few times on these busy trips, we actually got to have some fun at night. The crew and I went down to Coco-Bongos in Playa del Carmen and had a blast! Sure, the cover was $50 dollars!!! but it was an experience we will not soon forget…and yes, the Canadians hung out with us and made it that much more fun.

On this show, we got to visit the gorgeous ecological park known as Xel-ha. Xel-ha is a theme park like none you’ve ever seen. From snorkeling to cave diving to some amazing educational activities, this place is a perfect place to take the entire family – or to take that special someone. I can tell you that we were there for 6 hours and barely scratched the surface of what we could have done.

As always, Vanessa loves interacting with animals, and this episode is no different. To fill-in for a last-minute segment that didn’t go as well as we planned, we substituted Vanessa interacting with Manatees. These creatures are HUGE and part of the elephant family. Although, the sun was setting and it was getting late, I think the segment turned out well.

I hope you get a chance to check out the show this Saturday at 6pm! If you can’t, at least DVR it.

Again, thank you for supporting us and for continuing to watch Vamos!

Happy New Year!

Recently, I decided it was in the show’s best interest to hire another reporter to replace me (Producer Luis) on the Yellow Tail “Wine Tips” portion of the program. While, I’ve had a lot of fun doing it, I thought it was best to introduce a fresh talent to the TV world and have someone that could possibly interact with Vanessa on future adventures. No, this does not mean the replacement of anyone on the show (including me), it’s simply just a new addition. Just like with all my past shows, I really enjoy having multiple TV personalities on-air and I find viewers appreciate that as well.

Please help me in welcoming Kat McMahon to the Vamos family! Kat, a previous runner-up for the host position, will make her debut towards the end of Season 1 – early January. Kat managed to beat out several qualified candidates, some who might have a future with our show as well.

I believe this will just be the beginning for the talented Ms. Kat.

First, I set up a little one-on-one time for Vanessa with Houston’s Hockey team, the Aeros. Although Vanessa is nowhere near being a pro at ice skating, she actually did well…and yes, she had her first hockey fight with their enforcer Matt Kassian. You’ll have to catch the show to see who won that one. Thanks to the entire team but special thanks to Robert Desimone, Coach Troy Ward, and their other Left Wing Colton Gillies who had some pretty sweet figure skating moves (you’ll have to watch to see what I’m talking about).

Next, we stopped over at the famous Beer Can House, a house covered with 50,000 beers! It was pretty cool too, you should google it if you get a chance.

During our time in Houston we stayed at Hotel Sorella. I mention this because this was an impressive set up. The hotel is in the heart of the new district called CityCentre. Within that development you have entertainment, food, shopping, etc. Everything is just steps from the hotel, not to mention, the hotel has a pretty cool lounge and bar called Monnalisa which could have easily stood alone.  I loved Ra, a rock and roll type of sushi restaurant and the bar and restaurant right under the hotel, Straits, was great as well. Thanks to Stuart Rosenberg for making that happen!

All in all, a fun trip that I think you will enjoy watching.

In Austin, we visit the Inner Space Caverns. Vanessa is actually claustrophobic so this was a fun piece to shoot. Although, I will say, she did very well. The caverns were just out of this world. They are only an hour and a half away so if you’re looking for something different to do that won’t break the bank, that’s a “cool” (literally) place to visit.

After visiting Austin’s Zilker Botanical Gardens, we moved on down south to Corpus Christi. I know many people only think of Selena or oil tankers when you think of CC but there’s a lot of cool little spots down there too. On that trip, Vanessa got to try her hand at surfing. After “inhaling half the Gulf,” we went to check out a surf museum and then had some good food and drinks at Brewster’s Bar and Grill.

Coming soon, we hit Houston and then we head back to Mexico’s east coast again to see Tulum.

All in all, a great time and a fun show so I hope you get to catch it. Remember, this Saturday on FOX at 6pm…and DVR it if you’re out.

On this next show, we find two such places and I wish we had an hour show so that you could really get a good feel for them. The first was San Sebastian, an old mining town up in the Sierra Madre Mountains which is something out of a romantic novel. Cobblestone streets and perfect climate, it’s charming and its history is thick in the air. It’s one of these places you escape to – to write a great book or find yourself. The people were so amazing and welcoming and the place touched me.

Now, a place I might one day move to is definitely Sayulita. Sayulita is about 30 minutes from Puerto Vallarta. It’s a surfing community where the surf is awesome 365 days a year. More interestingly, I heard more English being spoken there than Spanish. It’s a place where many Canadians and Americans have moved to and I don’t blame them. The weather is amazing, the ambience is spectacular, and the town is so friendly. This is one place the crew and I joked about not returning from…and you know what, there was some truth to it. Sayulita is high on my list of places I would one day consider retiring to or having a permanent home at. It’s that nice.

So, join us this weekend at 6pm on FOX TV, I think you will see something you will enjoy.

Thanks,

Luis

Chris and Jason were gracious enough to have Vanessa and I on the radio yesterday for several hours. They were over at the new Gabriel’s Liquor Store on 281 – which is HUGE! I think we were only supposed to be on for a minutes but they ended up keeping us on and we had a blast! We will be posting those pictures up later this week - and thanks to those that stopped in to say hi as well.

This weekend we are in Puerto Vallarta where Vanessa will be doing a very cool interaction segment with some sea lions. We’ll also be visiting the Rio Cuale Mercado in Vallarta which was very charming so I hope you watch it or DVR it!

Remember, you still have time to sign up for our giveaway trip to Mexico. It’s all-inclusive and FREE!

Thanks for the support and make sure you catch ”The Zone” on ESPN radio!
