My recent visit to Club Med Cancun Yucatan gave me an intense workout and allowed me to live an extended weekend of bucket list adventures.

I’m reminded of fishing stories when I think about this weekend. Are they tall tales or actual experiences?

I thought Bonaire was a quiet diver’s paradise with little more to offer than a few diving properties and some turquoise waters.
