The End of Our Mexico Adventure: Cancun
We left Merida, and took the ADO Bus to the city center of Cancun, about a 4 and a half hour journey. It was pouring rain when we arrived, and my husband, now well practiced at negotiation, bargained a taxi ride to our hotel. Although […]
Connecting with Family & Friends in Merida
Spending time in the capital city of the Yucatan, Merida, was not even on our radar, until our traveling friends brought our attention to a Worldschooling Gathering taking place there in April. We were very excited about the opportunity to spend time with our friends […]
The Mayan Ruins of Ek’Balam, Mexico
We used the charming city of Valladolid as a base when visiting the ruins of Ek’Balam. The ruins site was only about a half hour drive away from the city center. There didn’t seem to be an easy way to catch a Collectivo, so we […]
Stepping Back in Time: Valladolid, Mexico
After spending a week and a half on the gorgeous Riviera Maya, it was time for us to head inland. We set out for the charming city of Valladolid, located in the central Yucatan peninsula. As we stepped out to Valladolid’s ADO bus station, the […]
Coba Ruins and Cenote Tour, Mexico
After a busy, but fun-filled weekend in Playa Del Carmen, I decided that I wasn’t in the mood to figure out all the details of how to get to the Coba Ruins. Instead, we booked a tour that would take us to Coba and area […]
Tulum Boat Ride and Snorkeling
After we left the beautiful Tulum Ruins and cooled off a bit, we walked toward Playa Pescadores. Our next stop was our Tulum snorkeling boat ride. The kids entertained themselves and many passers-by on our walk, as they belted out more songs from Moana. The beach was […]
Tulum Ruins, Mexico
When we woke up the morning after our day at the beach in Xpu-Ha, we were unsure about attempting another full day outing to see Tulum in the hot sun. We decided we’d just do a quick trip there and back, skipping the beach due to […]
Reunion in Playa Del Carmen and Xpu-Ha, Mexico
A few days after arriving in Playa Del Carmen, we had a reunion with friends that we had met in San Diego at an RV Rally. Their family joined us for a long weekend in Playa Del Carmen, before we would reunite again in Merida the following […]
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Yucatan, Mexico
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles were all necessary to get us to Mexico. Once we arrived it became more like Rickshaws, Colectivos, and Motocars. But I’ll get into that a little later… After spending our life savings on airport food, we stocked up for our almost 5 hour flight from LAX to […]
Setting Off On a Worldschooling Adventure
We are setting off on a new travel adventure this spring, which actually involves leaving the country! We are going to attend our first ever Summit for WorldSchooling families. This is a gathering of families sharing and learning about world travel, while immersing ourselves in […]
Weekend Trip to Ensenada, Mexico
After our first visit to Mexico, we could not resist the intrigue of Baja California, and decided to go back and make a weekend of it in Ensenada. We booked a hotel, and left very early on Saturday morning, arriving at the border before 7am. […]
Day Trip to Baja California, Mexico
While staying in San Diego, we met up with cousins that live just south of San Diego. A few of their family members also lived across the border in Mexico. Together, we decided to take a day trip into Baja California, including Tijuana and Rosarito, […]
