Cancun, Mexico 2010 - November 2010 Part 1

Every year, I make it a point to travel to a different part of the world / United States. The past few years, I have visited places like Cabo San Lucas and Aruba. This year, I wanted to visit Cancun. I've heard for years about the beautiful beaches and amazingly blue waters and I was going to get to see it with my own eyes.

We arrived for a seven day vacation in beautiful Cancun! We stayed at the Omni Resorts as part of our timeshare excange with Interval International. I have some mixed reviews on the Omni itself. First the great part was it was beachfront and the staff was super friendly. The bad parts is that although the Omni is one of the highest rated hotels, that was just it...its a HOTEL! When one owns a timeshare, the expectation is a place that has a fully functioning kitchen...even if it is just a studio. This is so that we save money while on the trip, but instead they are trying to convert this hotel into a timeshare property, and the rooms have some poor excuse for a makeshift kitchen. Now that all of my reviews are out of the way, lets start with the trip and some beautiful pictures.

Day 1-3:
Most of these days were spent roaming around Cancun figuring our way around the town and enjoying the hotel amenities. We discovered the local bus, Downtown, and of course...WAL-Mart! The local bus is $0.85 per person and runs all day and night. It's actually really safe. Downtown is where all the nightlife happens. Walmart is where we did most of our grocery shopping in order to save on our food budget for the week.
