Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Since my full retirement is near at hand, I recently recalled my long-held fantasy of quitting my job and flying to Caribbean on an open ticket, then returning when I wanted to.
Well, DW is still working so might as well get started with my first solo trip. In my original dream, the destination was BVI, maybe Jost Van Dyke, water taxi to Tortola or Anageda for change of scenery. Or even St. John. Have been to those places and love them but I know hurricanes have changed things.
In my reimagined idea I came up with Isla Mujeres as a far more accessible destination and I have never been there (though have been to Cancun twice, Riviera Maya, Tulum etc and really liked.
I know there are a couple of folks here who have spent some time there, hopefully lots, and have some insight.
Idea is just very low-key, relax, beach, swim, maybe a snorkel trip, read, good food, etc. I understand island is pretty walkable or you can rent a golf cart. That appeals.
My hope is it is not too crowded as I know they have a high-speed ferry now. Plan to travel day after Memorial Day and return, well, that part is TBD.
Thoughts welcome.
