Travel Culture

Casa Ixchel-Isla Mujeres After a long tough couple of years, I was in need of some real R&R. While surveying my various websites for travel deals I happened upon a $324 ticket to Cancun on United Airlines over Labor Day and snapped it up. I wanted to do it alone, I was now on my own and had no one to be responsible for planning and doing.

The airport at Cancun was small but overwhelming with people trying to stop the tourists to sell them something and everything.  I was glad I had arranged transportation from the airport to the port where I took the ferry over to the five mile long island. I could have done transportation a lot cheaper if I had been with someone, but this was my first foreign trip ...
