Todd gave me and Vanessa and all our luggage a ride to the hotel in his golf cart. The others walked.

Dallas and I took a long weekend trip to Mexico for our friends Brian and Sara’s wedding. I had been in Mexico when I lived in San Diego, but just on short day trips and just down in the Baja California area. Brian and Sara got married on the tiny island of Isla Mujeres, a four-mile long island off the coast of Cancun.

Damian and Vanessa were our traveling partners on this trip. We booked the same flights and even had adjoining rooms at the hotel. I liked traveling with them and it was nice to have some friends with us to figure everything out. The flight to Cancun was pretty simple. It’s only four hours from Chicago and is in the same time zone so there is no jetlag. After going through customs, we got a shuttle to the ferry in Puerto Juarez. The ferry took us to Isla Mujeres, where we spent the next five days.
