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 – Isla Mujeres
Posted on June 12, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, Isla Mujeres, MexicoCancun – Isla Mujeres: Today we headed off to the infamous Isla Mujeres.
Getting to Isla Mujeres was pretty simple. A taxi from Le Meridian in the hotel zone to the ferry port was about $22 USD and a round trip ferry ride ran about $20 USD and took only 15 minutes. The ride was rather easy, although if the winds were up, I would advise dramamine for those who suffer from sea sickness.

The Venetian, Las Vegas
Posted on May 7, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Featured, Las Vegas
The Grand Venetian and Palazzo Hotel- possibly the most impressive hotel I’ve seen in Las Vegas. That’s saying a lot, when you consider the impressive structures lining the Las Vegas Strip.
My overall impression and recommendations: Shop here, enjoy the charming gondola rides, marvel at the talented opera singers amidst the Canal Shop Square… then stay elsewhere. I checked out of the hotel nearly a week ago and I’m still spending a few hours a day trying to get out of $5400+ in duplicate charges for my $1600 hotel bill. No, I’m not joking. My billing was not only screwed up multiple times, but Rudy in their billing department has little concern for the matter. Honestly, I’m not bitter. It’s been so ridiculous, I’ve resorted to actually laughing about it! In the meantime, I’m thankful for Chase Bank, and their amazing ability to match the numbers on hotel statements with bank charges, which the Venetian can’t seem to do.
