4 Days and Counting

4 days 17 hours until we depart Saskatoon -YXE for Cancun CUN for 3 + wonderful weeks in Paradise aka our Mexican home.  I am so looking forward to this vacation...it will be the longest we have spent in Mexico and our daughter and her boyfriend are coming with us for the first half of the trip then we are being joined for the last half of the trip by our Manitoba friends. 

Our first 2 nights/3 days will be at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort.  This will be a great way to start our vacation.  We arrive early in Mexico so we get a nice time at the resort the first day.  We move over to the Condo on our third day in Mexico......it will be like living there...one of the locals.

We have a few things planned for our stay.  One thing that we'll have to figure out an alternative for is going to snorkel with the turtles in Akumal Bay as it has been temporarily suspended by Profepa.  They say due to overcrowding in the bay due to outside companies that have not set limits to how many people can be out there.  In January Profepa monitored how many were snorkeling in Akumal Bay and verified that 3,617 tourists were snorkeling with the turtles, twice the allowed number of people.  Now this is companies that offer tours to swim with the turtle but thinking it also affects those that come on their own to the beach to snorkel as well. 

The next 4 days are going to fly by so fast....still have a few last minute things to pick up and do.
