We Love Mexican Food!
One of our favorite things about Mexico is the food. It’s certainly not for everyone, as Mexican food is notoriously spicy, and has the potential to exact ‘Montezuma’s Revenge’ upon those who aren’t used to it – but for us…
Easter & Fire Dancers & Clubbing, Oh My!
Since our trip to Coba we’ve stayed pretty close to ‘home’ in Playa Del Carmen. We’ve both been busy working (yep, still working!) and conserving our money for our upcoming trip back to the United States. That isn’t to say…

Off to Tropical Cancun!
After surviving an unseasonably cold Atlanta winter, the land of turquoise beaches and palm trees was very enticing! We had our beloved flip-flops, T-shirts and other SoCal gear with us and were ready for the warmth. Our 2 1/2 hour…
