Weekend in Cancun: Logistics and Lodging

(posted by Emily) I am trying something a little different with our latest vacation updates. Since our focus this spring break was rest and relaxation, I opted not to post every day and just enjoy the trip while we were on it. So, we are breaking things up a little differently this time! Let me know what you think! This year, Rick and I are not fortunate enough to have the same spring break, but knew we still wanted to take a trip together.

Thanks, Southwest!  Here's hoping the desk opens soon, and we can spend some time in the United club! Rick is catching some zzz and I've been catching up on FB and IG before our phones go on airpl...
