May 15, 2011 Leave Chicago and arrive in Playa
I left Chicago today and the weather was 39 degrees and rainy. It’s a great day to escape to Mexico, especially Playa del Carmen. Terry and I started going to Playa (as everyone refers to it as) in 1993. At that time the one-hour drive from the Cancun airport was on a dirt road filled with potholes. Now, it’s a 35 minute drive on a 4 lane divided highway decorated with Palm trees and sculptures most of the way.
