Cancun, Mexico

Welcome back, fearless travelers! I know it has been a while since my last post, but we are going to get right back at it today.

Here in wonderful Illinois we are just a few inches shy of setting a record for most snowfall (inches) in season. While that may sound pretty cool, I assure you it is not. If I see one more snowflake, I might have a breakdown. The first day of spring is one week away and I am hopeful that warmer weather is on its way. In the meantime, why not day dream about somewhere warm? Somewhere with margaritas and Coronas? Somewhere like Cancun, Mexico.

I am sure many of you have heard of Cancun, Mexico before. It is one of the most commercialized destinations in Mexico, but people continue to go back, so that must be a good sign. 

Cancun has a tropical wet and dry climate, according to Wikipedia.com. This means that it generally is hot but does have specified rainy seasons. The tropical storm season lasts from May to December, and the rainy season extends into January with peak precipitation in September. February to early May tend to be drier with only occasional scattered showers. 

Cancun is located in southeastern Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The city is located on the Caribbean Sea.

If you are thinking of traveling to Cancun, you will want to fly into Cancun International Airport. Please have your passport ready!

According to AllAboutCancun.com, the city features a ton of different accommodations. In my opinion, I always enjoy the all-inclusive resorts, as I feel you get more bang for your buck. Currently, AllAboutCancun.com shows Riu Caribe as the featured hotel.

The all-inclusive resort overlooks gorgeous Caribbean waters and offers three swimming pools. There is nightly entertainment for adults and daily activities for children. The resort features fancy restaurants and swim-up bars.

So who wants to take me? On second thought,  I'll 'sea' you there!
