Cancun 2023

Ashley and I took another trip to Cancun this past summer! Because Ashley and I attend different colleges and are busy with internships during the summer, we've made a pact to take a trip together every year, for-hopefully-ever! The past two years the timing has worked out perfect. We both have had two weeks at the end of summer between our internships ending and college starting again. It's been the perfect opportunity to travel, spend time together, reward ourselves after working all summer, and relax before going back to school.

We flew out of Omaha on August 12 and left Cancun on August 19, giving us 6 full days. Then we were back to school on the 21! 

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:

August 12 (Day and Night 1): Swam in the ocean; went clubbing; met a famous Mexican rapper!

August 13 (Day and Night 2): Party catamaran and jumped off the boat; went clubbing; hung out with guys from the UK!

Before the party catamaran, I woke up feeling so sick and hungover. Then we went on the boat where the music was SO loud, and the waves were making me seasick. I was trying to rehydrate and drink a lot of water on board... jokes on me. I'm 95% sure the water gave Ashley and I food poisoning the next day... would not recommend.

August 14 (Day and Night 3): Nothing hahaha. I seriously could not find a single picture from August 14 because Ashley and I were SICK sick alllllll day. 

August 15 (Day and Night 4): Tanned and spent time in the sun; went to the Coco Bongo Beach Party; met two girls from Europe (don't remember where) that were taking a gap year to travel; went to a smaller bar with locals.

August 16 (Day and Night 5): Went on an all-day excursion of Chichen Itza and a cenote; went clubbing later that night!

Chichen Itza was about a 3-hour bus ride to Chichen Itza. It worked out great because we could get more rest which we desperately needed from being up late the night before. It was so cool to visit one of the 7 wonders of the world! This night we also happened to meet 2 different guys from the UK! 

August 17 (Day and Night 6): Had a really chill day laying out by the pool and reading; got dressed up and went to dinner; went clubbing with the UK guys we had met the night before!
