My sister Stephanie & I took a few weeks off and traveled to the Caribbean this winter.
Our destination was Cuba, but there was a necessary stop along the way. Though I’d hoped for a same day flight to Havana once we landed in Mexico, it turned out to be great luck that we were able to stay in Cancun a couple of nights at the beach before moving on.
We didn’t have reservations and nearly everything was booked, but after a fair amount of searching (while nibbling on chips and guacamole in the airport), we found an incredibly decadent spot to relax and indulge on the Cancun (tourist) lifestyle. A lifestyle which on many levels repels me…but once we planted ourselves firmly on the beach and by the pool, we got plenty comfortable and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
