About this site....
I have traveled all my life. At one point I lived in Germany and explored extensively throughout Europe. I visited castles, quaint villages, and many historical sites that were more educational than entertaining. Back in this hemisphere I have had a beach wedding, dove face-to-face with sharks in Hawaii, had a very up-close full-breach skin-soaking experience while whale watching in Mexico, and was pampered in a variety of luxury resorts throughout the Caribbean. All these travel experiences have given me an insight and appreciation for a range of cultural lifestyles and customs, and, in so learning, I have also learned more about myself. Now, I am In Search Of Mayan Gold. I am living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and traveling up and down the coast, and into the mainland jungle, to find all types of valuable gems. I have created this website to document my travels, my destinations, and my experiences. I invite you to follow along, and if you want to drop me line about your travels or have a question about mine, then simply click my picture....enjoy!

MY RECENT EXPERIENCE
A New Gem in the Hilton Crown
The famous Quinta Avenida in Playa del Carmen is an exceptional draw for visitors to this area. I could spend the entire day perusing the shops and the malls, stopping to quench my thirst with a favourite local beverage, and treating my palate at any of the world-class restaurants. For evening entertainment, I simply follow the pulsating sounds of a variety of music genres.
When the din of the crowd becomes too much to bear, I take a stroll down any of the side streets, where the hawkers are few and the music less intrusive. Walking among the condo and boutique hotels, my pace slows as I watch tourists getting in and out of taxis. Some are leaving, others arriving, and others yet are simply moving to experience a different view.
Although these buildings have different architectural features, they seem to blend with each other. Most are similar in shape and size, but the differences become clearly evident as you enter the lobby. One such building is the new Yucatan Resort, part of Hilton Hotels Tapestry Collection........
