Got back from my latest Mexico vacay last night and it’s off to work today–seeing 8 clients in a row without any breaks is a tough way to get back to reality from a wonderful vacation but it is what it is.  While I have been extremely negligent in posting more recent resort reviews (I still haven’t gotten around to posting my SLS Playa Mujeres and Riu Caribe resort reviews from January and now add to that Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites and JOIA Paraiso), I promise this will change within the next 2 weeks.

I don’t typically travel to the Caribbean during hurricane season, but I have done it before and think it’s always a good idea to know what you may be facing if you book way in advance for travel to this area.  I got stuck once in Cancun for one day due to a bad tropical storm, got rained out on one vacation (nothing but gray skies and rain), and when I visited my very first all-inclusive in Jamaica many (many) years ago I had predictable rain for 1 hr. every day after lunch.  And my travel agent at the time never warned me that I was traveling during hurricane season…
