Our first international trip together was nothing short of magical as we embarked on a journey to Cancun, Mexico. Filled with adventure, ruins, relaxation, and romantic moments, it was the perfect mini vacation that left us with memories to last a lifetime.

Bill was laughing at me while I was making my mini charcuterie board and listening to French music on the plane.

Exploring the Mayan Ruins of Tulum:

Our adventure began with a visit to the iconic Mayan city of Tulum, where ancient ruins perched atop sheer limestone cliffs overlooked the Caribbean turquoise waters. Walking through the ancient city, we marveled at the black and grey stone outcroppings, once majestic buildings that now dotted the sun-baked landscape. The stunning views and rich history of Tulum left us in awe of the Mayan civilization.

Snorkeling in the Tulum Reef:

Venturing into the crystal-clear waters, we embarked on a snorkeling adventure to explore the vibrant coral reef of Tulum. Swimming among sea plumes, sea fans, and Caribbean Sea whip coral, we encountered a diverse array of marine life, including stingrays and sea turtles. Bill captured stunning footage of our underwater journey, immortalizing our snorkeling experience forever.

Exploring the Xtun Cenote Cave:

One of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip was visiting the Xtun Cenote cave. Descending into the depths of the cave, we were mesmerized by the fresh crystalline water and intricate rock formations. The highlight of our cenote adventure was jumping from a natural platform into the darkness below. Suspended in the air, we held hands and braced ourselves for the exhilarating plunge into the cold water below. It was a surreal and unforgettable moment that left us feeling exhilarated and alive.

Indulging in Jungle Dining:

After our cenote exploration, we enjoyed a delightful lunch amidst the lush jungle of the Riviera Maya. Surrounded by verdant foliage and the sounds of nature, we savored the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine, soaking in the beauty and tranquility of our surroundings.

Our trip to Cancun was truly a magical escape filled with adventure, discovery, and romance. As we bid farewell to this enchanting destination, we carry with us the memories of our first international adventure together, eager to embark on many more journeys in the future.
