Cancun, Mexico

Saving money makes anything worth it.  And that is why we flew roundtrip Cancun rather than Belize City.  Yes, it may take 7 extra hours to even get to the Border of Belize but when you put the $$ to expenses like Chaa Creek, Habaneros and the Corozal Bay Resort you realize those 7 hours dont mean anything.  

We extended our stay in Cancun from 2 nights to 3 nights after hitting bad weather in Belize.  In retrospect, I am so happy we did.  The first morning in Cancun Ben and I woke up deathly sick.  I won’t go into details but the two of us were glued to a chair,lounge chair, sand…anything for the 2 full days we had.  But we were OK with this because what else would we really be doing?!  

Highlights:

  • Avalan Grand Hotel in the middle of Hotel Row of Cancun Beach
  • Margarittaville free margaritas: why do you they think I won’t look up the answers to your trivia questions on my iPhone when you provide free wi-fi?
  • Margarittaville nachos: nachos were the theme of this entire trip 
  • Royal Caribbean all-inclusive resort that we snuck into for free meals
  • Buffet breakfasts
  • Mooching off other fancy resort beach “beds”
  • Dinner on the lagoon to celebrate the end to a successful trip
  • Rapsodia: indie boutique. Fell in love
