Our Cozumel Trip -- Diary of An Anniversary Vacation

For years we used some hand me down luggage that my Mother gave us when she quit traveling. It was old and worn and was the type of suitcase you had to carry--no rollers. We put some miles on it ourselves, but this year before our cruise we decided that it was time to upgrade the old luggage.

We love our new cases! After looking around, checking reviews and checking websites we settled on pieces from Dockers brand. (Yes, the same Dockers that makes your favorite khakis.)

This is absolutely one of the best sites on the web to purchase luggage! "eBags Outlet"

Here is a link to one of the Dockers pieces we got.
Classic 292 Twister 20" Expandable Spinner

We like the swiveling wheels and the way the two ends of the zippers overlap for you to put your lock through. The zippers on these bags are extremely well made and the bags have all kinds of pockets for putting your stuff.

PS These Docker Bags served us very well in Cozumel; survivng airport transfers and the like! PLUS my daughter and I just returned from a trip to New York city and we used these bags; literally dragging them from our drop off point, walking several blocks, hauling them onto the subway, transferring subways (including up and down all the stairs!). The bags did great and I have a daughter who rolls them everywhere, even bump, bump, bump down the stairwells! Buy some - you won't be sorry!

Cozumel is an island in the Caribbean Sea off of the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Playa del Carmen. Cozumel is a popular tourist destination renowned for its scuba diving. The main town on the island is San Miguel de Cozumel.

The island covers about 300 square miles and is the largest Atlantic island off of Mexico. It lies about 12 miles from the mainland (Yucatan peninsula), and is roughly 36 miles south of Cancún.

In 1959, Jacques Cousteau discovered the extent and beauty of Palancar, the coral reefs at the south of Cozumel and publicized it as one of the best places to go scuba diving in the world. The area around Cozumel Island and off of the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula is still often listed in the top 5 dive spots world wide.

Scuba diving is still Cozumel's primary draw, mainly due to the healthy coral reef marine communities. These coral reefs are protected from the open ocean by the island's natural geography. In 1996, the government of Mexico also established the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park, forbidding anyone from touching or removing any marine life within the park boundaries.

We had a fabulous stay in the Cozumel Palace. You would love it, too! But there are many wonderful hotels in Cozumel and many of them are all-inclusives. Plus, the people of Cozumel are kind and gracious and wonderful hosts!
