The countdown to Cancun has officially begun, and in lieu of my upcoming trip all of my posts this month will be about traveling! I love to travel, try new things, and enjoy new places, and I've never been to Cancun before so I'm pretty stoked. I've been planning for this trip for nearly a year because my dear friend and line sister will be getting hitched at the Moon Palace Resort. I couldn't be happier to get away from the sticky city summer heat, and get near some water and all-inclusive beverages. As much as I enjoy a good resort, I also want to experience some of what the "real" Mexico has to offer. That's why I'm planning to venture into to town (with some Spanish speaking friends) to experience local life, eat a great meal, drink cheap tequila, who knows! The countdown to adventure has begun, and hopefully my fellow trippers will have some great advice!

Adventure awaits
At the beginning of the year I made a to-do list of all the things I wanted to accomplish. Everything from skydiving to saving money was included. Then, there was this enigmatic goal: do something great for ME. After I wrote I thought to myself, what the heck could that possibly be? This thought weighed heavy in me for months. What DID I want to do that I would think would be so "awesome"? Then it hit me.
For a good portion of my young adult years I've spent my Saturday mornings and early afternoons watching cooking and travel shows on my local PBS station (I love public television). My favorite travel show as of late is Globe Trekker. This show doesn't showcase the resorts or much talked about tourist traps that plauge most vacation spots. Globe Trekker delves deep into the history, art, landscape, culture and people of the countries they showcase.
AN ADVENTURE VACATION!!!
That's my just-for-me-awesome-goal! Climb the Canadian Rockies? Hike the trails in Costa Rica? Discover the pyramids of Belieze? People watch at Carnival in Brazil? Who can say for sure which exotic location and off-beat activity I'll partake in, but in 2011 I plan to live the stories I will later tell my friend's grandkids about.
