Cancun Or Bust … Again
Tagged: bbbcancun17, cancun, mexico
In what is turning out to be an every-four-years tradition, we will be traveling to Cancun for the fifth time in 20 years tomorrow for a week long vacation. While every trip to Cancun has left me with a gnawing feeling that I need to stay on Isla Mujeres the next time, the package we were able to obtain at the Beach Palace was too good to pass up. I tried finding affordable accommodations in our normal Caribbean escapes but with the...

El Patio, located on Isla Mujeres, a tiny island just off the coast of Cancun, bares a striking resemblance to Blue Heaven, one of my favorite restaurants in Key West.
