So here we are, 4 months, 2 continents, 10 countries, countless incredible experiences, the odd argument or 10 (but we're still going strong) and we have finally arrived at our very last stop; Cancun Airport. To top it all, we have just had a call to come to the gate early and have been told that we have both been upgraded from Economy to World Traveller Plus (premium economy)...very exciting indeed! We are currently sitting down in the departure lounge with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire mixed into a bottle of soft drink to chill Gem's pre-flight nerves for the final time this trip, whilst reminiscing about how incredible the ... read more

After a full day touring at Uxmal and nearby Kabah, Saturday and Sunday were days of rest and relaxation in Merida. Besides simply wandering and exploring the old historic centro district of Merida we had one specific “sight” to visit and that was to be Paseo Montejo. Long ago as the Spanish hacienda owners prospered and grew rich on the labours of the conquered Mayan and Mexican peoples they would send their sons and daughters back to Europe for their education. The children were usually sent to institutions in France or Spain for their further education. In time the children would return to the family haciendas in Mexico and eventually take over the operations of the ranch / farm and continue to prosper and accumulate weatlth. The children turned wealthy hacienda owners began talking among themselves ... read more

Some vodka, fruit juice combination is thrust into your hand by a smiling Mexican when stepping into the Coco Bong queue. Following the path route round and up two flights of escalators sipping on this sweet beverage I had no idea what to expect from here.

My God We had just stepped into the biggest club venue I have ever been in, right from the back entrance.I was greeted by thousands of balloons being pumped into the air by party revellers, ... read more

November 30th – December 5th2013 Live Aqua Resort, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico Fine and sunny – 28c -30c Our flight to Cancun from Miami was quick, thankfully! The AA 757 was very run down and very full. There were a few grizzly kids and we were glad to land in Cancun after an hour 45 minutes. We chose Yellow Taxis for the ride into the Hotel Zone. They offer a deal at the airport giving 50% discount on the return trip if you book at the same time. It was US $16 per person. After a short wait we piled into a minivan with a few others and left for Live Aqua. The hotel is gorgeous. On arrival we were shown past the pair of gleaming white Rolls Royce limousines (hotel courtesy cars) into the impressive ... read more

We flew non-stop to Cancun from Atlanta and stayed at Sun Palace. Sun Palace is an all-inclusive resort that is also adult only. It was an amazing stay. We only stayed 4 nights and will be back for longer next time. While there we did an excursion of snorkeling with Whale Sharks and Manta Rays. It was quiet an experience. We got sea sick.... read more
