This  past January I was determined to escape the Arctic temperatures even if it meant using my limited vacay days for quick getaway. People with 10 vacays know the PTO struggle. It was also the BFF’s birthday, which further prompted my desire the get out of dodge.  I typically don’t like spending my birthday at home, so I usually push my close friends to do an out of state/ international getaway .  With only 4 short days to play,  our flight needed to be 3-5 hours away which limited our destination  to the Caribbean, Central America or Mexico. We decided on Mexico to check off one of the World’s  Wonders on our bucketlist.
