From Cancun to Cozumel
Posted on July 17, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, Chichen Itza, Cozumel, Featured, MexicoPossibly my new favorite city in Mexico, Cancun is definitely a place I would like to frequent. The beaches were true “white sand beaches” and not nearly as crowded as I had expected. The waters… if I didn’t know any better, I’d say someone photo shopped an image right on my sunglasses, creating multiple layers of perfect turquoise paired with pristine blue skies. Really, this entire trip was full of scenic surprises…

Cancun vacation extended
Posted on June 14, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, MexicoCancun vacation extended… Heading to Cozumel and Playa del Carmen for another week http://twitpic.com/1wux80
I can’t believe I planned a mere week in Cancun! It’s just not enough time so I’ve booked another week and am planning to stick around. I’ve seen Cancun, the Chichen Itza ruins of the Yucatan, and the beautiful Isla Mujeres. Now I’ve booked a luxury tour to Playa del Carmen and then ferry to Cozumel. Our tour will then take us to the Cozumel ruins, and in a glass submarine to see the 2nd largest reef in the world.

Truly a rare opportunity in life, I felt fortunate to stand at the foot of this great pyramid while listening to our guide share the history and culture of the Mayan Indians.

Posted on June 13, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Chichen Itza, MexicoItza 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!
As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to see the pyramids at Chichen Itza. When I moved to Mexico, I remember being disappointed that the Yucatan was so far away. A day is possibly enough time to see the entire park, but I would say it is well worth it to book a room, or private villa at Mayaland hotel. A guide can be hired for a private tour of the ruins at the front desk. $60 an hour, and the tour runs around 2.5 to 3 hours.

Chichen itza roadtrip from Can…
Posted on June 13, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Chichen Itza, MexicoMy Chichen Itza road trip from Cancun took less than 3 hours, including a quick lunch break. After speaking with the concierge at Le Meridian resort and spa where I’m staying, I decided to skip on the tour bus option and rent a car for the trip. I was told it would take 2 to 3 hours to drive from Cancun’s hotel zone to Chichen Itza and that it was a perfectly safe drive. They were right, and I would even classify the drive as “scenic.”

Cancun Weather…
Posted on June 11, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, MexicoThe weather in Cancun was not exactly what I was expecting. It seems hot one day, and cooler the next. The humidity is inescapable but the breeze… makes it all worth it. Nearly every morning is beautiful, with sunny skies and just enough clouds to make photos more interesting. It’s June, so rain showers have been pretty frequent, but not strong enough to send you running. I happen to not mind the rain, so I stay in the pool while it sprinkles and I don’t run from a tour of the ruins to keep my hair from getting wet….
