Who knew that the sleepy little fishing town of Puerto Morelos would have the best omelette I've ever tasted?Add in some crystal clear aquamarine water, a few fishing piers, a crazily tilted lighthouse, barracudas and hawksbill turtles, and we found the recipe for a great day trip.
Since leaving Canada in early December we've been hanging out in the warm weather of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.In the past few months we've enjoyed gorgeous beaches, interesting ruins, fabulous meals, snorkeling with turtles, hanging out in ecoparks, lounging in swimming pools, riding on buses plus pretty much everything else you would get to do living at home. It's actually been low key compared to our previous trip, but we knew that coming in.We're only a few days from our flight to Spain. With the weather cooler there than what we're now used to it will be a wake up call once we set foot on the ground.We don't have a lot planned so far, however I'm expecting we'll spend a few days to a week checking out Madrid before heading south to warmer weather or maybe even west to Portugal. It should be a fun time regardless of where we end up and we're looking forward to traveling Europe with our little ones.

When planning an extended trip, it seems there are always a million questions that need to answered. What a lot of people don't realize is that figuring out where to go, where to stay and how to get there are sometimes the easiest, if not the funnest, problems that need to be solved. Even before taking that first step to adventure, there are some serious questions that need to be addressed. Over the years, we've been asked multiple times what we do with our vehicle back home when we travel. From leaving it on a farm to keeping it in a garage to leaving it on a lot we've done it all.
