Isla Holbox, Xaloc Resort - Mexico

[skigrl27]

I'm leaving my life vacation for an "actual" vacation on Thursday morning, bright and early. I'm headed to a remote and (from what I've found) hightly unheard of island off the northern tip of the Yucatan called Isla Holbox (pronounced Holbosh). The island is a fishing village, about 25 miles in length.

Only 18 beach front cabanas
No roads (just golf carts)
No banks/ATMs
Whale shark breeding ground
Bird sanctuary

Was supposed to be a romantic trip for 2 with my boyfriend, but I kicked him to the curb and am now going with 2 friends. I will take lots of pictures and let you know how it goes.

I needed to do SOMEthing warm and sandy near the ocean before the snow starts flying again!!

Here's a website with some fun info:

I would love to see a Whale Shark, I hope you get the chance. I see that your principal occupation will be relaxation - if you could fit in a five minute relax for me I'd be grateful!

It sounds as though it will be a very "different" experience. Looking forward to the photos.

Well, Mexico was everything I ever wanted out of a vacation. Relaxing, fun, hysterical, sunny, sandy, oceany...adventurous, awesome food, GREAT friends. Generally every minute of every hour was good, great, or even better than that.

I have lots of pics to share if anyone is interested, send me a PM with your email and I can share them free on Photobucket. Be warned, there are some random pics in there of me & friends. Nothing too scary!!
