Why Cancun is My Favorite Travel Destination

Let me begin my putting out this disclaimer.  I usually don’t like to travel to the same place twice.  However there is one place in particular I have made an exception for.  Cancun, Mexico.

There are several reasons why Cancun is the perfect getaway.  For one, when I’m not living abroad, I call Texas my home.  It’s a short flight.  One movie and two glasses of wine later and you’re already there.  Also, if planned in advance, you can easily purchase a ticket for less than $300.00.

Since 2016, I have visited three times.  The first visit was for my daughters High School Graduation and her first stamp on her passport.  We had such a great time that for Christmas 2018 we went back and invited my Mother.  July 2019, I was back again, this time with my best travel girlfriend.

Each time has been more memorable then the last.  This past summer, I was able to spend a day in Tulum, Mexico.  It’s about an hour drive from Cancun but worth the experience.  There were so many hidden gems in Tulum, however the visit to Pablo Escobar’s Mansion was by far the most Instagram and picture worthy.  Like most, I did my research prior to going out and wore the perfect dress to match the aesthetics.  My girlfriend and I arrived at the mansion early that morning and were able to have an entire photo shoot!

When I tell you we had the best time exploring Tulum and made use of the short amount of time we had.  If you’re trying to make the use of your Cancun trip, at a minimum I recommend you doing the following:
