Majestic

 

1965: Birds

Its that time of year when ones mind turns to holidays. Perhaps a trip to Malaysia where the locals might point out a Murai Gajah (Asian Fairy Bluebird) on a tree.

 

1994: Malaysian Airlines inaugural flight cover

 Fly out of Malaysia to Buenos Aires to dance the tango under a moonlit Brazilian sky.  Where next? 

 
Travel back in time to the 1950s and the Hotel Majestic in Acapulco, Mexico
 
 
A sea view from their rooms
 
Definitive 1950s: Architecture and Archaeology 
 
Buy a Michoacan Mask as a memento although a lot of these dance masks look very scary.
 
 
Catch some sport at the Mexico City University Stadium. Built in 1952, at the time the largest stadium in Mexico. It is now called the Olympic Stadium after hosting the 1968 Summer Olympics
1969: Tourism
Enjoy visiting the Pyramids in the ancient city of Teotihuacan (place of the gods).  Not built by the Aztecs or Mayans but an ancient race, origins unknown.

I would be a very complete trip! Lots to see, and a lot of m as well :)

I agree with Eva, a busy trip - and add a 'mystery' to the 'm's!

I like the style of the Mexico stamps. These days mail service from Mexico takes months, even to the US

I love that name, Asian Fairy Bluebird! A beautiful envelope.

The blue bird stamp is my favorite of your M stamps.
