After a direct flight from Toronto to Cancun, Jackie took the ADO bus just outside departures and 50 minutes later we were greeting her at the ADO depot on 5th Avenue. She was hungry so we had our first beach lunch together at La Tarraya.
We relaxed and caught up the first evening with snacky foods at home.
The next day Jackie was happy to hang out in the pool and we ordered pizza.
On Monday with Connor back at school, we headed down to 5th Avenue and the beach. We ate at Los Rancheros, dipped in the ocean for an hour, collected Connor at 2 PM then spent time exploring the Playcar ruins then playing in the ocean.

On Tuesday Jackie and I made the 7 km walk around the loop of Paseo Xaman Ha, discovering the massive resorts, hidden ruins and caught a lovely sighting of the macaws at the Aviary - Playacar has so much going on inside the gates!

We took Jackie over to Soriana to grab some groceries and treats.
Later for Jackie's last evening, we walked along 5th Avenue, taking in the colorful lights and then has a great meal at Karen's Seafood.

Way too quickly Jackie's visit was over and we spent the last morning on the beach, ate lunch at Wah Wah then walked her back to the ADO. Adios amiga!
