Great Vacations in Cancun

I first started thinking about a trip to Cancun after reading a travel review in my local Sunday newspaper. The pictures of white beaches and the description of all the activities made the Mexican town seem to come alive and just beckon me there. As a single woman in her fifties I didn’t want to go alone, so I convinced my two sisters to join me for a girls-only weeklong vacation!

I was able to find a great travel package at Amazon Travel of all places (I thought they only sold books) and booked three tickets in just a couple weeks time. All three of us sisters live in different cities around the western United States, and with a few easy steps on the web site I was able to get us all into San Francisco for our flight to Cancun.

We stayed at the Hilton Cancun and with the package deal; our daily rate was right around $120. Of course being sisters we all shared a large room and had an amazing time. The hotel includes a golf course or two, I didn’t really look and lots of swimming pools! There is a spa on site and the three of us also enjoyed the services of the resident masseuse. If you are into the golf part of the hotel, I included a pic for you.

In later posts I will share more details about specific attractions we visited, but the huge amount of events was pretty neat to see.
