“Our first stay in Mexico was a month-long venture in Cozumel, a small island in the south-east end of the country. We had the opportunity to rent an Airbnb while staying there for the full month in a small residential area of the island, not too far from the shops and beach access. While we…
“My wife and I coordinated with my dad and his family to go on a weeklong cruise to Central America out of California. It was an absolute blast and I’ve been jonesing for another cruise ever since. There was a unique experience I had when we got off in Puerto Vallarta for a day trip…
