At first, the fact that I was a young, married woman traveling to Mexico with my mother instead of my husband seemed to stump our fellow shipmates. They were surprised, first of all, that I was 26 rather than 21 years old, secondly that I was married, and thirdly, that my mother would consider traveling with her married daughter. We quickly put their minds at ease: the trip, and the notion of leaving our husbands behind, was my idea. Following this understanding, we were celebrated for taking the time to enjoy the mother/daughter bond that so often gets left behind when children get married.
Traveling with my mother was a special opportunity. It was my first time visiting Mexico, and her first time to return in 30 years. We left the United States from Denver, and our journey was filled to the brim with amazing beaches, lingering sunsets, abundant aquatic life, and constant laughter. Accompanied by another mother/daughter duo from New Zealand, we gallivanted across the seas and made the most of every minute.
Our last night on board, we stood at the bow and, channeling our inner Rose Dawson, threw our beachcombing shell souvenirs into the wind. Reluctantly leaving the sun and sand behind the next morning, we returned to the United States with tanned skin, over 4,000 photographs, and memories which we could not have found with anyone but each other.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
