Let the adventure begin! ......again

Well, I should be exploring the ruins of Palenque, but instead I am sitting on my bed in Puerto Morelos watching Rachel Ray. Why? Because it is Mexican vacation time. Kelly and I got ourselves all packed up and hopped on a bus to Playa del Carmen to catch the bus to Bacalar. Turns out that all the buses were over flowing with people. Attempt number two is scheduled for this evening. Luckily we are quick studies and bought our tickets so we are guaranteed a seat. Due to the Mexication, we have to alter our plans. Here is a quick run down of them...Chiapas, Guatemala and Belize

1. Tonight - 12 hour bus to Palenque, explore the ruins, explore the town and then head out
2. Bus it to San Cristobal de las Casas. Hang for a few days.
3. 8 hour bus to Lago de Atitlan. This I can not wait for. Volcano hiking, kayaking, horse riding, yoga! Heaven!
4. Bus to Volcan Pacaya. An active volcano and we will be roasting marshmallows in the lava.
5. Tikal!
6. Belize. Snorkeling on the second biggest reef, cave tours, and Mayan medicine trails.

There may be a few more stops in the Chiapas section. Big thanks to Gabo who planned that part of it.

Hold on tight!
