As I write this, it is my first morning “home”. Home being a relative term because, even though this is my permanent address, we will be moving to another house in three sleeps. Doug and I love our life, nomadic as it is. But to the first of my Isla Mujeres Trip Reports.

I was out of bed at 430 am that morning even though I had been awake since 4. I was uber efficient that morning as I had everything ready for that moment for weeks. But as efficient as I am, Doug is even more so: he warmed up the car, loaded our luggage and made the 7 minute drive to the airport. What luxury. Thank you D, I will miss you so much.

The flight was uneventful and the 4 1/2 hours went by in a breeze as I finished a good book. Sil Lorraine Kapilik , Brother Kelly and Sister Sue met us at the ferry dock. What a blessing it was to have Kel take over as my sherpa. My back was sore after the cramped plane seating and standing for an hour for our luggage to arrive at our carousel. Gone are the days when you could zip through Cancun airport.

We (being Donna and I) dropped off our bags and walked over to Jax just before the sun was setting. Check out our blog post for all the delicious details. Isla Mujeres 2025 Restaurant Features-Jax by Sister Sue | Winnipeg food blog We were welcomed back to the island by our dear friend Jackie and a sudden rain and hour-long power outage. We had to light our food photos with our phone’s flashlights. Afterwards, when we walked back to the apartment, I stayed up and got my suite organized. Then of course I had to get into a new book so I read for an hour before I closed my kobo for the night at midnight. Ahh. I was home.
