For our honeymoon we went to Cozumel Mexico. It was so amazing! I felt so at home there, maybe because the locals would come up to me and start speaking Spanish ha ha, but we felt incredible safe on this little island. It's located across the ocean from Cancun, but it was lower key and secluded. The resort we stayed at was beautiful and had a private beach attached. We went on a tour around the island stopped at some of the beaches, got my hair braided, hiked to the old Mayan structures, visited the lady of fertility, went to Bob Marley's shake, and saw a few blow holes. The island is small and would only take about 40 min to see the whole thing, so after our tour we rented a scouter and visited the sites on our own. We also took a tour to the Chichen Izta, it was a long day in a hot bus but it was so worth it. It was really neat hearing the history and how it parallels the same story in the Book of Mormon. I'm amazed that structures like these were really built that long ago with out the technology. We bartered with the locals and got a few souvenirs to take home with us, all of which were hand carved (ya right ha ha). We also got to attend the LDS church there on the island. The only missionaries there were sister missionaries that couldn't speak English but there was one Brother of the church who served his mission in the states so he came over and welcomed us. The Church is true no matter where you are. We felt the presence of the spirit as we sat there and listened, even though we couldn't understand much. If you are trying to think of a cool place to travel to Cozumel is it. The island has so much to offer, first class scuba diving, culture, swimming with dolphins, everything you could want in a get-a-way. We had so much fun
