My Family flew to Cancun, Mexico on vacation last year. Cancun is a busy city full of life. Everywhere you looked there were faces buying, selling, relaxing and experiencing all that the city had to offer.
Mega high-rise resorts stood tall over man made beaches. Still I was struck by the amount of business that was still happening. Calls to the office and texting, laptops and emails seemed as natural as the pebbles on the shore.After spending a few days in the hustle of the city we decided to rent a car and tour the countryside.
I was taken aback by the vast differences between the two worlds. It was like stepping back in time. People, old and young, sat on the side of the street watching life happen before them.
On our way to Merida I witnessed an old woman slaughter a hog on the road side while young children played with sticks. I looked at all the carefree faces that were missing from the landscape of the city and wondered if they were as content as they appeared. They didn’t seem aware of all that they didn’t have.
Their smiles were full and genuine. The trip home was quiet for me. I wondered if this trip had stirred anyone else as it had me.
I was curious if my life at home would be affected by all that I had witnessed and experienced. I now know that our way of life is a choice, that my modern day luxuries are just that luxuries and not necessities. I came to the conclusion that all of our houses and gadgets and cars and laptops and cell phones all cost us much more that the initial purchase price, they eat up our very souls.

It sounds like a statement that emphasizes the importance of adults having access to things that are valuable. It could be interpreted as a reminder that adults should not be denied the opportunity to enjoy things that are considered precious or valuable. It’s a good reminder that everyone deserves to have access to things that bring them joy and happiness, regardless of their age.

Nice post. This wasn’t what I was searching for but I still enjoyed reading it.
I think this content needs updating. I am interested in looking for new winter destinations after the pandemic hits.
Planning a winter getaway is an adventure in itself. The snowy landscapes add a magical touch to the family bonding experience. You nailed it. meticulous planning is key, and being ready for unexpected twists, like a surprise blizzard, keeps the excitement alive. Any memorable winter destinations you’d recommend?

Great place for kids. My 2 and 4 year old tried every water slide, pool, and toy. They loved the beach as well with the calm, warm waters. It was far from a relaxing trip but this one was all about the kids.
I was more than happy to find this great site. I want to to thank you for ones time for this particularly fantastic read!! I definitely savored every little bit of it and i also have you bookmarked to see new things on your web site.
I live in Jacksonville and there is no longer a ‘lively waterfront’. The shops and restaurants were demolished after a mass shooting at one of the establishments. Head to the beach not downtown!! There is a lovely historic district called Avondale/Riverside area. It is absolutely beautiful with shops and restaurants and a beautiful park with a kick a** playground! The neighborhoods sit on the St John’s River. The old homes are big and beautiful. I walk that area regularly and have lived there. Stunning!!!
Howdy! I simply wish to offer you a huge thumbs up for the great information you have got right here on this post.
I am returning to your site for more soon.
I agree with every word in this blog, I tried to travel to Saudi Arabia with this topic in mind. I thought a lot about choosing a sustainable activity. So I texted Ootlah website to ask them about sustainable activities and they recommended enjoying the desert in Jeddah, which causes almost no harm to the environment. I booked and tried it and it was significant.
Thank you. We might get there, and we might not. Hope so.
