A few months ago we embarked on a trip to Mexico with my sister and brother-in-law, Bri and Linden. We picked Mexico because for our dates and starting point it provided the cheapest airline tickets which we agreed would be the deciding factor on where we were going to go. I'll be honest that at first I wasn't completely excited about going there. Mexico just seemed so typical and brought to mind images of partying college students. With a desire to avoid crowds we decided to travel to Playa Del Carmen (a town about 45 minutes south of Cancun) and then head further south to the little town of Tulum once the rest of our party arrived.
