Paradise… As long as it’s air conditioned.  Cozumel is an island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the Caribbean Sea, and it is just a feast for the eyes.  Originally a pilgrimage site for the Maya… It was a trading outpost and it was supposed to be good for women’s fertility to make the pilgrimage… Today the island is a tourist paradise with cruise ship docks and resorts, yet the far end and the interior are just pristine with gorgeous blue waters.  A quick ferry ride puts you in Playa Carmen, a major tourist site on the mainland and close to the major Mayan centers of Tulum and Coba.
