    Hey Toronto Tonfo, thanks for another kind comment. No kidding. We are so wanting to make it back in early 2021. Fingers crossed for a vaccine which at this point, I'm thinking is the only way Governments are going to allow global travel to resume.

    Thank you for the great Video, just Subscribed and Thumbs up. Just returned from Akumal Village and the area, only spent the day and did get to have a few Coronas at the LOL-HA and fajitas, along with guacamole and chips, but want to return again after seeing all the places we missed but just not enough time. Was a beautiful 7 days at Bahia Principe Luxury Resort in Akumal.

    Hi, my boyfriend would like to know if this is Sunrise or Sunset. Yuchen Wang says that Akumal faces the east and therefore your lost clip must be sunrise. Please respond or he will not sleep tonight. Thank you!

    Hey Darrell. Thanks for the kind words. We would love to spend a winter in that area at some point. The grocery stores are actually great. If you're thinking that things are a lot less expensive there, not so much. Depends on what you're looking for. Definitely no bargains on wine but tequila is super cheap. Produce and seafood also tend to be less than what you're accustomed to. We typically go to the Chedraui. They are very nice and you can fine anything there. Food, Clothing, Alcohol, pharmaceuticals.... If we see a small produce market, we like to show our support to the small independants as well. Thanks again for watching and stay safe during these trying times.

    @@TheDrunkenTourist I think I prefer keeping things free and easy like you, but I do have to admit that I love a cruise or an all inclusive as well. I wouldn't want to commit to only one type of vacation. I will say that the all inclusives and cruises make it easier to budget, whereas, out on the town, it can get out of control before you know it.
