Back from Cancun

We returned from our visit to Cancun yesterday afternoon. It was a fabulous trip. We had more than thirty other travel agents with us visiting the sites and various resorts. We ate very, very well and spent time in extremely lovely, romantic locations. All of this was intended to give the agents information that they can use when they help their clients make travel decisions. If the agent knows what the traveler enjoys and wants to experience, they can help to tailor the schedule to meet their desires. This means that agents have to know what the location has to offer.

We toured a number of resorts around Cancun to see their amenities (WOW!), and ate meals in many of them. The food was fabulous, the beaches are lovely, and the pools, spas, restaurants, and rooms are beautiful for anyone looking for a relaxing get-away from home. Because there had been a devastating hurricane several years ago, all of the buildings are completely new or totally refurbished. Everyone spoke English, most places are all expenses included, and I never changed any of my money into pesos because dollars were accepted everywhere we went. I think we all learned a lot that will be useful as we try to help our clients plan the perfect vacations.
