Shangri La Caribe Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Arriving at thie resort was great. Dustin had arrived before us and was chillin beachside with a cold bevie. I saw him but mom had no clue. as we are walking into our room, he comes up from the back and is like "You guys know of a good place to eat around here?" Mom lets out this scream....DUSTIN OH MY GOD!!!!! It was pretty funny. We´ve all been havin a great time. Relaxing on the beach, drinking, ALOT and seeking out the best taco in the area. Theres also an amazing restaurant a block from the resort called La Cueva del Chango. Open air dining room, Open Kitchen and amzing character...then there is the food, The best Mexican food I´ve ever had, I got down here twice once for breakfast with Dustin and once with mom for dinner. Each time the bill was less than 30 dollars and we ate!!! Stuffed!! Full!! NO MAS!!!! Soooo good.

So as I type this I am growing tired of the hustle bustle super touristy town and have set my sights towards Oaxaca! A 21 hour bus trip is in my close future along with alot of Mole´and good eats. I begin my solo adventure either Mon or Tues evening. Here We GO!!!! Adios and Buenos Noches Mi Amigos.

5:00 am Harrisburg,PA

Wake up....Its time....The day has finally arrived. In less than 2 hours I will be leaving America and starting on the trip that has kept me up many sleepless nights. I will ease into this trip with the help from my family they will be heading to Mexico with me and I just learned Dustin will be meeting us there. Should be a great surprise for mom. Pikey is at dog camp for a week...I will miss him but this is not the first time I have left him. Every big life changing thing I do it seems I must leave him behind and this is no different. I know who I am at this moment...who I will be 3 months from now...Thats to be seen. I am so excited, anxious and proud. 3 different countries, 3 different continents, 3 months. The journey begins now!!!
