Riviera Maya Here We Come!

Snorekling on the Maya Riviera... Lesson for the day: Plan Ahead..

If you have been following the posts.. you will know that I hit a minor glitch.. as it turned out .. it is a major one... We were not able to reserve prescription masks to rent...

Budget Travel Lesson for the day.. Just because it was easy last time, do not wait until the last minute...
Had I checked out the mask rental situation earlier, we would have saved on shipping costs.. but we are excited to be finally buying our own gear...

Also Michelle, did provide a discount on shipping... THANK YOU!

I went online and chatted with my other travel agents that are a part of Nexion and was told.. especially for this area.. you need to bring your own.. or buy...

As I write this, I just got off the phone with Michelle at Snorkel Mart... She was helpful and very informative... We did pay a bit more..  ONLY because of the last minute shipping.. but the over all costs for prescription masks, fins and full gear was great...

Over the next few days I will be finishing up any last minute details..
 making sure we have a full dose of all meds, travel size containers of sun tan lotion , Deets and toiletries...

Double checking timers on lights and a radio in the house..

providing two people with our full itinerary

contacting the USPS to hold mail.. (times have changed.. you can do this online)

This time next week,  Snorkeling with the turtles in Akumal...
