10 days in Riviera Maya itinerary
For one week in Riviera Maya, your main choices are Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel. You will find underwater activities, jungle, cenotes, Mayan ruins, and beautiful beaches. It really is a good combo of adventure, exploring, and relaxing on a beach. I personally did 3 days in Cozumel and 4 days in Tulum but I have modified my below itinerary based on after having been there, what I would have ideally done for my itinerary. All links you see send you directly to the company I booked with if it’s a tour or hotel or directly to TripAdvisor for information if it is a place. Cozumel (6 days)…
Visiting Mexico’s Riviera Maya during the COVID-19 pandemic
I visited Cozumel, Mexico and Tulum, Mexico in December of 2020 and I want to share my experience what traveling to Mexico is like during the pandemic. I will caveat that obviously it is a fluid situation, so my experience may not be the same experience a week from now, month from now, or few months from now, especially as the vaccine rolls out and the world gradually reopens again. As of now, no COVID-19 test is required and there is no quarantine upon arrival. You can also quite easily check what is open in the state that you are traveling to on this website. Mexico is under a color…
One Week in San Jose Del Cabo Itinerary
San Jose del Cabo is the quieter neighbor of Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas is where I always went to spring break but San Jose del Cabo is mainly timeshares and resorts. I think the average age at the pool of our timeshare was well above 55. There was daily water aerobics at noon, bingo at 2pm, and happy hour started at 3pm. This did make for a relaxing vacation when poolside. When we wanted to get out, Uber was easy and cheap. We could go all the way to Cabo San Lucas, a 30 minute drive, for $20. Given I’m no longer 20 and partying in college, San…
One Day in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is an especially gorgeous part of Mexico. The ground is covered by lush rainforests and the sounds of the jungle. When I think of Mexico, I think of Cabo and the desert scenery with the beach. Puerto Vallarta, even with my limited time there, is one of my favorite destinations in Mexico! If you only have one day in Puerto Vallarta here is what to do: Walk around town There is a boardwalk that has a lot of artwork and sites to see. On the boardwalk are huge colorful letters in the ground that spell Puerto Vallarta along this strip. There are several statues and even some stone…
What to Expect on a Cruise for the First Time
For people who have never been on a cruise or people who are about to go on a cruise for the first time, I want to give you my firsthand experience of going on my first cruise. You may have hesitations because of the little time you spend on shore compared to the cruise. It is much different than the normal vacation experience. What to expect You will get spoiled What I didn’t realize about cruising is the pampering your entire vacation. From daily breakfast brought to your room to great poolside service. My favorite part is that everything is already paid for from the moment you step on the…

Spring Break in Cabo
Cabo and Spring Break are an iconic duo. All of the west coast goes to Cabo to celebrate spring break in March. Whether you are a spring breaker or plan your trip in March, it will be crazy. Hundreds of people flock to Cabo each week to let off some steam and party until the sun comes up. Fair warning it can get rather ratchet, but if you take that with a grain of salt it is loads of fun. Speaking of salt, be ready to be sick of tequila by the end of the week!
