1. Be Prepared for the Heat We’ve visited the Mayan Riviera the fall in winter when the weather is more temperate, but in July it is HOT. We thought the heat would be no big deal–we’re Texans after all, and triple-digit temperatures in summer are the norm. But we also stay inside out air-conditioned homes …
If you are a U.S. citizen who travels abroad and you don’t have the Mobile Passport App you need to get it RIGHT NOW! (And no, I’m not being paid by the government to tell you this!) We just came back from Mexico, and I think we were the only people on our plane who …
We’ve had our share of unexpected travel mishaps. It is frustrating and disappointing when you’ve spent a lot of money anticipating a trip and something disastrous happens shortly before you leave–or worse–during your trip. The best way to ease the pain of a bad situation is to plan ahead. Of course, you can’t plan for …

Here’s what’s coming up in the next several months: August 2017 Road trip with the girls to Kansas City to see the eclipse. We can’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. September 2017 Austin for a work conference. October 2017 Possible …
The countdown is on for our trip to Puerto Morelos, and I’ve been shopping and packing our essential gear. We’ve got an entire checked bag filled and ready to go (five people=a lot of gear), but that’s much better than our usual carload for beach road trips. Some of the links in this post are …
Our next trip is our summer family vacation. We’ll be visiting Puerto Morelos, a not-so-touristy fishing village in between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen on the Riviera Maya.
