Cozumel by Sea

Hola Cozumel!  My husband and I are the cruising type.  We love to cruise and have been to Cozumel twice and both for just one day as part of our cruise itinerary.  The first time we docked in Cozumel we walked down the street toward the left of the port to Margaritaville.  We sat and had some good Mexican food and drinks and took in the wonderful blue water views.  We went to the nearby shopping center and purchased some Mexican instruments; something we do on all of our traveling adventures.  Handmade maracas and a ukulele were the Cozumel treasures we brought home. 

The second time we visited Cozumel was just this past May.  We took a 5 day cruise with family and friends and this time we went to visit Senor Sancho's Beach Club!  Senor Sancho's was only about a 15 minute ride from the port and the van that took all 8 of us only charged $5 each for each way.  Senor Sancho's is an all-inclusive resort that includes a beach chair, table and chairs under and umbrella, all the food and drinks (including alcoholic drinks) you can eat.  The cost is $55 per person and completely worth it.  You can even reserve online at http://www.mrsanchos.com/ for $5.  It is on one of the best beaches and there wasn’t a crowd.  Cruise crowded beaches are the worst! 

We spent the entire day enjoying the beautiful blue water, snorkeling, eating great food, and drinking umbrella drinks.  Senor Antonio was our server and he was awesome.  He spent time talking to us about Cozumel and his family.  He was born and raised in Cozumel but went to school to learn English.  He enjoyed practicing his English but I guess it didn’t hurt that half of our group spoke Spanish too.  The ceviche was to die for but all the food was freshly made to order and super tasty.  Stay away from the Senor Sancho drink!  I didn’t like it at all and it hit folks pretty hard that tried it.  It was HOT!  Literally… It has tabasco and some other spices in it that leaves a hot taste in your mouth.  YUCK!  Pina Colada for me please!

A few folks rented jet skis for $70 per hour and really enjoyed going up and down the beautiful beach coast.  The rest of us lounged around, floated around in floaties, and snorkeled.  It was a wonderful time on the beach and in the water.  The Mexican people are very friendly and warm.  They have a huge tourism industry and many make their livelihood from those of us visiting the island.  After our day long stay at Senor Sancho we took a cab down to an outdoor trendy bar that was right on the beach and sat and had a drink and awesome conversation.  We went back to the port and did some shopping for souvenirs and of course you can’t visit Mexico without buying a bottle of Tequila. 

“Arriba, Abajo, Al Centro, Pa Dentro”! This is the Mexican "cheers".  Literally translates to "Above, Below, Center, Inside"
We had a great time and our family and friends had a blast visiting Cozumel, Mexico for the first time.

Always A New Part of This Wonderful World to See

Our 2022  Travels We had amazing  travels  in 2022. We went to Costa Rica, Myrtle Beach, New York, Spain, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and  toured our new home base in Florida. We explored brand  new places which were Costa Rica, the Netherlands and  Spain. Part of the goal of  travel  should be to experience new things, learn new things, explore different cultures, and  enjoy yourself. I know many people who  travel  to the same places over and over or go to the same types of places (Caribbean only, Europe only, etc.). Carl and I want to see the whole world so our  blog  will reflect that. Every year,  we try to  travel  somewhere we have not been before and let you know about those places as well as go to some of our  favorite (or place for me) locations. Let's start with our favorite destination of 2022, Spain. Spain made our place for me list. We traveled to Barcelona, Madrid, and the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria). We loved every location we visited and each city was d

Travel is Like a Box of Chocolates!

Travel  in 2021 was like a box of chocolates. You never knew what you were going to get. However, we were all excited to just be able to  travel  again, even if there were limitations and restrictions. We had to research whether we needed a COVID-19 test to enter certain countries, whether we needed a COVID-19 test to re-enter the USA, and what documents or insurance were required to enter the various countries. Even with all of the additional requirements, we traveled to Akumal, Cancun, NYC, Los Cabos, St. Martin, Myrtle Beach, Pompano Beach, Atlanta, and Punta Cana. We decided to go to some places where we had been and also explore a few new places. We wanted to continue to expand our  travel  experience even in these difficult times. We realized more than ever that life is short and we need to live each day to the fullest. So many good people are no longer with us and our condolences are with their families! As a testament to those we have lost, we are celebrating life in our own wa

It Just Keeps Getting Better - 2019 Year In Review

Friends - God is good! We thank the Lord for His mercy and His grace. His word is true!! God has shown that He has a plan for our lives, a wonderful future and a hope. He has opened up the windows of heaven and has poured out blessings that we do not have room enough to hold.  In 2019, Carl and I definitely lived, loved, and traveled. As far as living, we had ups and one major down. We lost the matriarch of our family after 87 years of her beautiful spirit gracing this planet. We know she is in heaven and we will see her again when we take our final trip to our heavenly home. It was our privilege and honor to be her primary caregivers for a number of years! Rest in peace Mom!! In other aspects of life, we had great life accomplishments and successes personally and professionally. God is an awesome and faithful God! As far as loving, we grew more in love with each other and grew even closer, although both of our hearts ache for our loved one that we loved so much and lost. We a
