The Yucatan Peninsula: Our Luna de Miel (Honeymoon)



Our flight was surprisingly painless. We left at a decent hour (10 a.m.) and were sipping Margaritas on the beach by 5. We were in Cancun only long enough to run into friends from work in the customs line (they were celebrating their 10-year anniversary and eagerly provided us with marital wisdom) and to catch a bus to Playa del Carmen.

We decided to spend our first night there--it was bustling, but interesting--before heading off to the scuba resorts in Cozumel. We found the Playa Maya, which is right on the beach and which had an in-room jacuzzi. A must for the first night of any honeymoon. After settling in, we went to check out: the water (perfect!), the fresh fish on the beach (perfect!) and the pedestrian mall (touristy, but not too tacky).
Afterwards, we enjoyed more drinks on the beach with the jazzy rhythmn of the live band at fusion at our backs and the almost full moon shining on the ocean waves at our feet. It was a good start.
