Hola all! We returned Sunday night from a wonderful week in Tulum. Here's a quick summary.
I have to say that last year was our first time in Tulum. We went the same week in July that we did this year. Our trip last year was absolutely PERFECT. Everything was just perfect...no bugs, very little rain, good breezes at night but not too windy, no illness, etc. That's a tough act to follow.
This year, although our vacation was wonderful it did not quite match up to last year. We had huge storms that lasted quite a while (someone told us it was a tropical storm??), we were eaten alive by mosquitos, and Josh got a bug and was VERY sick on his birthday which was supposed to be our big fishing day with Margo. We couldn't fish because the water was way too choppy and a huge storm came through so Margo and I enjoyed ourselves w/ a few cervezas but poor Josh was miserable all day.
Having said that...we had a GREAT time. Other than Josh being sick I wouldn't change a thing!!! We made the best of our time and enjoyed every second. The rain didn't bother us...we just found a beach bar/restaraunt to ride it out in. It was a delight to finally meet Margo. She is just lovely and soooo interesting and gracious. I wish we could have spent more time together.
So, I've decided that there is no such thing as a "bad" time in Tulum!! It is just so beautiful there. I will try to get to my trip report this weekend but be patient. I resigned from my job of 13 years just before we left and next week is my last week. I have a TON to do before I leave and I start my new job on the 27th so it may take me a while. I promise it won't take over 6 months like it did last year!
Thank you all again for your insight and information. It was again extremely helpful.
