Dude...for real? What the hell are we doing in the Presidential Suite? I thought we were scrubby travelers. Well, for 24 hours at least we were real life ballers before getting back to the real world of hostels, buses and cheap eats. We spent the day in the private infinity pool, bumping beats, eating homemade food by our private chef: J. Leste, sipping cervezas frias y tequila con sangrita. Damn, amazing to think that this is how some people roll all the tim...

We ended up at Isla Mujeres because of a hot tip from G's bro Bryan who was down a few months back and came back raving about it. We're all believers in the Isla Mujeres mojo now cuz this place is sweet, no doubt about it! The journey for the 4 of us from Las Anclas on Cozumel was as follows: walk to ferry, ferry to Playa Del Carmen, bus to Cancun, taxi to ferry, ferry to Isla Mujeres, taxi to Villa La Bella. We were rewarded for our efforts immediately; Villa L...

We checked in and promptly headed back out to town to get some much needed tacos and cervezas in us. We stopped ...

After the 5 hour delay in Oaxaca, we were finally well and truly on our way. The bus ride took another 6.5 hours, passing the site of the protest which led to our delay, the beautiful dry, arid, rolling hills of Central Mexico and even an erupting volcano in the distance. Eventually though, we arrived at Mexico City's Tapo bus station and promptly grabbed a cab to our hood for the next couple of nights. With the advice of my dear friend Jacqui, we booked a spot...
