Today, I have booked my flight to Cancun, Mexico. I am leaving on April 29th and coming back on May 5th. I am going to the Akumal Comedy Festival which is one hour south of Cancun in Akumal.
I have never been to Mexico before, and I think that this will allow me to check off some of my items on my list!
The numbers I am hoping to be able to check off are: 3, 4, 10, 20, 21, 41, 67, and possibly 95. Some of the items will be easier than others, but I need to start planning and seeing if the person I'm staying with is up for doing some of these things!
If you are wondering what list I'm referring to, check this out.
If anyone has anything to suggest, please comment and let me know!

Towards end of 2013, I found a cool idea to do 365 new things in 365 days, and I thought that would be a really cool idea. However, I decided to do 100+ new things in 2014. Since I wasn't able to finish all of the items during 2014, I decided to continue it the next year and so forth. I am now on my 4th year of doing this. This blog is dedicated in memory of Erin Hennes.
