Greetings Friends,


I hope you had a nice September, and are looking forward to having a wonderful October.

We had another busy month in my house.  Over Labor Day weekend we visited family in Michigan.  It was a nice, quick visit.  The kids are still getting used to the car ride.  Last weekend, we visited friends in Chicago.  On the way home, we stopped at an apple orchard.  We picked a lot of apples and had a lot of fun.
In the middle of September, I was lucky to be able to do a solo trip down to the Riviera Maya region of Mexico for five days.  Flying down, I couldn't believe that it had been four years since I had been to my best-selling destination.

The primary purpose of the trip was to tour resorts with other travel agents on my team.  We toured fifteen resorts.  Family-friendly, adults-only, and even an au natural resort were on the itinerary while in Mexico.  It's touring and experiencing these resorts that help me make recommendations for my clients.
Our team did manage to have fun while in Mexico.  One afternoon, we took a few hours and visited a cenote in the area.  These are sinkholes that are naturally formed in limestone rock.  The water is natural and refreshing.  Little fish nibble on your feet when standing on the rocks.  Who needs to pay a spa for this, when you can get it done at a cenote?!

In addition, we made it a point to give back to the area that we were visiting.  For this trip, we went shopping for supplies to donate to Te Amo, a group that gives to families living in rural parts of the country.  Our team loaded up over $700 worth of supplies and dropped them off with our partners.  Knowing we are having a positive impact helps to make these trips worthwhile.
For October, I wanted to highlight one of the adults-only resorts we stayed at while I was in Mexico, Secrets Akumal.  My clients love this resort.  After having spent two nights there, I can say that it was a wonderful experience.

Secrets Akumal is located in between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.  The beach is beautiful.  It also feels very lush and tropical on the grounds, almost jungle-like.  Akumal means "place of the turtles", and this region is known for its turtle population.
Not only were the grounds and rooms beautiful, but the team of staff went above and beyond at every turn.  Both dinners were highlights that I won't soon forget.  The first night we did a sip and paint right on the beach.  For not having any artistic ability, I was thrilled with how my sunset picture turned out.  The second night we had our dinner in a garden area with performers and musicians entertaining us the entire time.

I had chilaquiles for breakfast each day.  For those that don't know about this specialty - think breakfast nachos!  I definitely can't wait to go back for a longer visit.
With 2021 now in the home stretch, it isn't too early to think about your 2022 travel plans.  Spring break is fast approaching, as well as next summer.

As always, if you have questions about anything travel-related, I'm here to help.

Have a great weekend,

Brian
