Yelapa, Mexico, in May. Went for a hike, the trail was dusty, then went to the beach.

It had me at donkey.

So I’m going on a honeymoon in two weeks. Which we plan to make a unique travel experience by doing no work whatsoever — no assignments or notebooks, no phone calls to experts or emails to chefs. An escape from travel writing for two travel writers. I found a hotel near Yelapa, Mexico, which is in a jungle on a hill over the beach, and which I’m told we can only reach by boat and donkey. I think I always thought that any honeymoon I ever had would be a trek across Siberia or somesuch. But this feels right.
