Today I had a client tell me she's feeling low and can't put her finger on why. I was able to remind her, hey, it's the middle of the week after Daylight Savings Time. Our circadian rhythms are all thrown off right now (not because of Nature but because of our silly illusions about time lol.) I used to feel low like this all the time too, until I learned these tips I'm going to share. There are some specific cues from our external environment that "train" our circadian rhythm: light, food, sleep, temperature, and location. Aren't our bodies are so brilliantly adaptive?! Here's EXACTLY what to do this week (and actually, forevermore! You feel so much better when your circadian rhythm and therefore your hormones aren't f*cked up.)Mentioned in this episode:- Join the Rebirth & Bloom Ostara Spring Equinox celebration on 3/20 at 1 PM EST on Zoom in the Wild Wellness Women's Circle- FREE!

Many of the best road trips in Mexico can be found in the Yucatan Peninsula. With the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Caribbean sea on the other, Mexico's Peninsula is an incredible place to travel alone, with friends or with the entire family. There are so many things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula — including some of the best road trips in Mexico. Today we discuss hitting the road for a Yucatan vacation. Why is driving the Yucatan Peninsula one of the best road trips in Mexico? Listen in as we talk about jumping in Yucatan cenotes, exploring Mayan ruins, swimming with turtles in Akumal and other things to do in Akumal, as well as many other places to explore on your Yucatan vacation.   ::: Like what you’re hearing?

Thank you! ::: Best Road Trips in Mexico: A Yucatan Vacation With well-maintained roads, abundant nature, and fascinating cultural opportunities, driving the Yucatan Peninsula is one of the best road trips in Mexico. There are so many things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula, with kids or without. Beautiful beaches, exotic Yucatan cenotes, jungles, wildlife like the turtles in Akumal, and ancient jungle pyramids like the Coba Ruins. It's all here in the Yucatan Peninsula, and that's the focus of today's episode: one of the best road trips in Mexico. On the show this week is returning guest Rob Taylor of 2TravelDads. Rob has found plenty of fun things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula — both solo and with his family.   IN THIS EPISODE 02:44 Intro 04:29 Why the Yucatan is the best road trip in Mexico 07:13 Yucatan vacation itinerary, starting in Cancun 09:14 Iguanas in the Yucatan 10:36 Leaving Cancun and driving south 13:09 Things to do in Akumal: Turtles in Akumal 16:35 Things to do in Akumal: Yal-Ku Cenote 22:41 Driving in the Yucatan 27:19 Mayan ruins in Tulum 32:44 Coba ruins in Mexico 36:35 Valladolid (Rob's favorite city in Mexico) 41:47 Isla Holbox 46:39 Hotels in the Yucatan   ABOUT Names: Rob Taylor, his husband, and their two boys Hold passports from: US Type of travel: Short-term travel, camping, road trips A few places they've been: Mexico, the Caribbean, China, the UK and all over the US   LINKS & RESOURCES Rob's Yucatan Road Trip Itinerary Rob's Favorite Mayan Ruins in the Yucatan    FIND THEM ON 2 Travel Dads | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Things to Do in the Yucatan Peninsula Today Rob and I construct a Yucatan vacation itinerary for anyone considering a visit. This is constructed road-trip style, since driving in the Yucatan is safe and easy. Even so, this same trip could happen via buses, taxis, or personal drivers. We visit the Coba Ruins. We explore Yucatan cenotes, and we swim with turtles in Akumal. And of course, we do what everyone should do on a Yucatan vacation: swim, eat well and relax. What else would you expect from one of the best road trips in Mexico? Why Yucatan Vacation? Why is it the Best Road Trip in Mexico? Rob and I both think that a Yucatan Vacation is home to some of the best road trips in Mexico. Why? For one, the Yucatan's roads are flat with good signage and infrastructure. Secondly, it's easy to pick up a car rental at Cancun's International airport. In addition, Rob explains the benefits of traveling in the Yucatan with kids. He describes it as an ideal marriage between history, culture, and nature. The Yucatan Peninsula is part of Mexico, but it has its own unique culture, that is infused with its Mayan past. Sure, there are great restaurants, beautiful beaches, and abundant wildlife. But you also have the Mayan culture, seen both in the dozens of archaeological sites but also living within the locals. The Yucatan also has unique flora and fauna. Especially fauna. There are dolphins off the coast and flamingos in Rio Logartos and Celestun. There are the turtles in Akumal, as well as tropical fish when snorkeling. Then there are monkeys, crocodiles, deer and more. And did we mention the turtles in Akumal? Yucatan Road Trip: Start in Cancun For our Yucatan road trip itinerary, we start in Cancun. This is a major tourist hub, with massive hotels and entertainment complexes. Cancun is also where the Peninsula's largest international airport is. For most people, this is the best place to fly into. For Rob and his family, the Yucatan vacation starts soon after landing. They leave the airport and, after picking up a rental car, go straight to the beach. Before they leave Cancun, they visit a few of the Mayan ruins in or near the city. That's right: there are Mayan ruins in Cancun! Visiting Mayan ruins are certainly one of the best things to do in the Yucatan peninsula, and even Cancun has them. The most famous Mayan ruins in Cancun are places like San Miguel and El Rey. They are probably not far from your Cancun hotel. Things to Do in Akumal - Turtles in Akumal After some beach time and the Mayan ruins in Cancun, Rob suggests heading south. One of his favorite destinations is Akumal. One of the most famous things to do here is swim with the turtle in Akumal, and that's what Rob recommends here. He has been several times and has always seen turtles in Akumal. In fact, he talked about the last time he was there he "only" saw eight turtles in Akumal. At other times, he saw nearly twice that many. Akumal is his favorite place for snorkeling in Mexico. Swimming with turtles in Akumal is awesome, but another of the best things to do in Akumal is to visit Cenote Yal Ku. Only a short drive from Akumal, Cenote Yal Ku is both freshwater and saltwater, as the cenote opens up into a lagoon. That means you get sea life like parrot fish and angelfish in what is usually a freshwater swimming spot. Yucatan Cenotes Rob said that Cenote Yal Ku was one of his favorite cenotes in the Yucatan, but what are Yucatan cenotes? I certainly didn't know about Yucatan cenotes before we visited Mexico. A cenote is a freshwater sinkhole, part of a vast underground water system that is unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. The water is fresh, clean and mostly underground. Some Yucatan cenotes are open to the sun, while others are in caves with little light from above. Rob talks about some of his favorite Yucatan cenotes — a crucial part of our road trip in Mexico That said, keep in mind that these Yucatan cenotes aren't free. Some of the most famous large Yucatan cenotes on the east coast of the peninsula cost USD $10 or more, per person. On the other hand, many Yucatan cenotes in the interior or west coast cost as little as a dollar. It's also worth remembering that no sunscreen or mosquito repellant is allowed in Yucatan cenotes. The chemicals can damage the fragile ecosystems there, so if you're prone to burns or bites, cover up. Mayan Ruins in Mexico If you want to see Mayan Ruins in Mexico, then you're headed to the Yucatan. It's a huge part of what makes the peninsula one of the best road trips in Mexico. In fact, one of the best things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula — with or without kids — is visiting the Mayan ruins. Rob started with the Mayan ruins in Cancun, surrounded by hotels and high-rises. But he didn't stop there. We talked about many others, including the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum. Rob's favorite, however, is the Coba Ruins, which are inland. Deep in the Yucatan jungle, the Coba Ruins in Mexico are massive and largely intact. And as Rob explains, travelers can still climb the pyramids here. Places like Chichen Itza no longer allow climbers, but places like Uxmal and the Coba Ruins in Mexico still allow you to reach the top. Rob talks about his experience in the podcast. More of the Best Things to Do in the Yucatan Peninsula These are only a few things we discuss in our hour-long conversation about things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula. Listen in and hear Rob talk about flamingos in Rio Logartos, Cathedrals in Valladolid, restaurants in Holbox and much, much more. Listen in and you'll understand why we think that one of the best road trips in Mexico starts at the Mayan ruins in Cancun and covers the Yucatan Peninsula. Have You Had a Yucatan Vacation?

Mother's Day in Mexico May 10th In Mexico, mother's day is celebrated on the 10th of May instead of the way we do it in the US whee it's celebrated the second Sunday of the month of May. It was a great sight to see the families out strolling the Malecon, eating at restaurants, taking mom out. Lots of roses and flowers and celebrations. The one in my neighborhood lasted till three in the morning I think.  I took some time to hike the trail from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas beach that afternoon, and I took my Go-Pro camera and filmed the entire hike. I plan to talk about the hike in another episode of the show, so stay tuned for that video. Today I have a very special guest but first, what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 15th of May, 2017. Interviews Galore! I'm sure you are getting an earful this podcast because I am in Puerto Vallarta, producing my podcast from an apartment in the Emiliano Zapata Neighborhood here in town.

ATM Machines in the Puerto Vallarta Airport Lobby [caption id="attachment_544" align="alignleft" width="300"] PV Airport Taxi Rate Schedule 2017[/caption] I took a walk through the Puerto Vallarta airport the other day and I’m happy to report that there are three bank affiliated ATM machines right there in the lobby, where you emerge from the Shark Tank. I even used one of them to withdraw 6,000 pesos to get my trip started. Remember if you plan on using your ATM card to access money in Mexico, let your bank know you will be traveling. Tell them where in Mexico and for how long. If you don’t, you more than likely will not be able to use it. For more about what I’m talking about regarding  exchanging money including packing tips, data plans and cell phone tips and more, listen to Episode 2- and Episode 3 of the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show. I also added a picture of the new Taxi Rates to different destinations around the Bajia de Banderas in the show notes so if you are interested, go to the website and check out the new rates. The rates are just slightly higher than before. so don't worry, it's still very cheap to take taxis and buses in Puerto Vallarta. Remember, if you need a primer as to how to navigate the Puerto Vallarta Airport, Check out this video I put together some time back and you will find it at my website in the show-notes for this podcast. as well as in episode 3 of the Show. A couple things have changed like the location of the exit, but if you watch the video, you will get a good idea as to the process and layout of the airport so check it out if you haven't already. Don't get caught in the Shark Tank my friends. Jut sayin!

Just adjacent to El Cero.  The views are wonderful. He told the story of how he developed the property and transformed a vacant lot into what it is today. Check out the photos in the show-notes.
