Itza Chichen in Chichen Itza – or maybe Itza Chicken…. driving 2.5 hours from Cancun to Chichen Itza to see Mayaland http://twitpic.com/1wj5i9 was a great idea!

Vegas was fab- in fact, it was more than fab.  I booked a first class ticket that stopped through Denver, and aside from a loooong wait for luggage recheck after customs, the flight was smooth and carefree.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t much more to book a 1st class ticket, than it would have been to book [...]

Finally… we reached the tip of Baja California Sur and caught our first glimpse of the famous, Los Arcos.
