So sorry for the brief hiatus (or not so brief), but I was kickin' it in Mexico. Cancun to be more exact.
Though it wasn't my favorite vacation, but I'm glad we went. I have come back with a list of DOs, DON'Ts and MAYBE DO if you have extra time or money in Cancun.

DO
1. Leave the hotel as much as possible.
2. Take advantage of free drinks if you are staying at an all inclusive.
3. Rent a car to drive yourself some place. It's not hard to navigate.
4. Go to Tulum.
5. Snorkel.
6. Take the public buses. They are AWESOME and totally fast (and cheap).
7. Make friends with strangers you meet at your hotel (unless they are creepy or weird).
8. Take pictures to impress the people who didn't go.

DON'T
1. Listen to the people trying to sell you timeshares.
2. Forget to put sunscreen on...ever...that is how you get sun poisoning (I would know)
3. Take a tour to Tulum. Waaaay too much money for nothing you couldn't do yourself.
4. Tip everyone.
5. Drink the water (Montezuma's Revenge anyone?)
6. Make calls/texts back to the US...totally pricey and unnecessary. You are on vacation.

MAYBE DO
1. Coco Bongo. The show is cool, but it's a lot of money.
2. Sea Kayak. We didn't do it, but it looked cool...
3. Check out other hotel's beaches. They probably won't kick you off...


P.S. I did actually take this picture...are you jealous?
