Final Cancun Spending
Here it is! Our final expenses from our Cancun trip for the July 4th weekend. A few notes: 1.

What No One Tells You About Swimming With Whale Sharks

We spent a week in Playa del Carmen in July of 2012. As far as the city itself goes, I was incredibly happy with our choice of staying there rather than Cancun.
