ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
The way to skiing this year took us from Playa del Carmen to Cancun and through to Zurich and Lucerne. We actually planned a four-day break between when we arrived in Switzerland and when our rental in the ski town started. We try to leave extra time in case some of our bags don’t arrive, or we have very bad jet lag.
We have been asked numerous times what there is to do in Playa del Carmen. Playa is a big small town with lots of things to do and see, in addition to the water activities available at your hotel.
Since we found ourselves alone between Christmas and New Year, we thought we would take the opportunity to explore Mexico. We had heard about Bacalar Lake from friends, so we decided to go.
This year, our kids came to visit the 1st week of December, so again we were on our own for Thanksgiving, which is probably my favorite holiday. This year, I decided to cook, and so we invited some friends for Thanksgiving dinner. We also spent a wonderful day on Isla Mujeres with friends.
In addition to the everyday life we enjoy in Mexico, we seek out other diversions to keep us entertained. This article is about my first time fishing from a boat, as well as an epic evening of food and wine at a local all-inclusive resort.
