My Summer Trip of 2006! -- Acapulco, Mexico

First off, the beaches here were huge! This beach in particular was over 10 miles long! The weather in Mexico is VERY humid and hot, so, a day at the beach is the *perfect* way to just cool down and unwind. The water isn't cold, it's the perfect temperature! It's so relaxing. Thankfully, the beach isn't very crowded so you can be sure to find your own 'spot' to be by yourself/others. Boogie Boards and Jet Skis were available and were a lot of fun to use. I was able to get a nice hot tan too! The only problem was that when a lot of people used Jet Skis at once, the beach smelled like gasoline and made it unpleasant, but still, feeling the fish swim by, and splashing against the waves is the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon!

Acapulco Snorkeling is a blast! First, you are sent off in a boat way out in the sea meantime, there are funny crew members to keep you entertained along with healthy and tasty snacks available to eat. Once arrived though, you can explore the depths of the ocean. This isn't 'deep sea' snorkeling, but rather just a snorkel mask while you float up the surface looking down. This may seem 'limiting', but it's actually VERY fun and enjoyable. Fish are EVERYWHERE and you can't beat the experience of swimming through a whole school of fish! It's amazing! I was stung by a small jellyfish or something, but still, this was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip. VERY Highly Recommended!
