Cancun Cruise 01.2011
Surprised the Bakers on this cruise. James, Carma, Sally and myself booked the cruise and never told the Bakers, we even got cabins right next to them. We boarded before they did, and then watched them sit at the bar (of course). We sent over a bucket of beer then walked up to the table. Was fun, they had no idea.
Barbados 10.2010
We stayed at the Almond Bay Casuarina Beach Resort which is near Saint Lawerence Gap. For anyone a nervoustraveling abroad, Barbados is for you. A former British Colony is a great tourist destination. Tourism is appreciated and tourists are treated pretty well.
Mexico 10.2009
Cancun Riu Caribe Hotel and Isla Contoy. Spent a wonderful week with the kids in Cancun. The Riu Caribe is located at the north end of the resort zone. In my opinion just far enough away. Cancun has a terrific bus system which runs up and down the strip at frequent intervals, cheap, easy and safe. Easy to get down to the tourist shops and restaurants
Mexico 10.2009
Aktun Chen Natural Park. Had a really good time on the zip line. This particular zip line was more like a course, multiple lines throughout this "Natural Park" and cenote area. So, you zip line around, end up in an enclosed area with deer, fowl, etc. and have lunch. Then it is on to a cenote and cave. Pretty cool really. This was a couple hours south of Cancun and while touristy, it was far enough out of the way that it was not crowded.
2008 - 2005
Playa Del Carmen Mexico 10.2006
We stayed at Sandos Caracol just north of Playa Del Carmen. At the time it was probably a quieter resort. Still is by comparison to some of the larger resorts in the area.
