Get off the bus! A term coined on our 2006 quarter-life-crisis Spring Break vacation in Puerto Aventuras, Mex. On a sprinkling morning, 5 of us spring breakers ventured into Playa del Carmen. After some exploring & Coronas, night set in as did the looming storms. We meandered to the bus station, purchasing 5 return tickets back to Puerto Aventuras. On the bus, Derek & I met our inspiration: Michael, the Canadian importer/exporter. Backpack in hand, he had arrived in Playa earlier that day. With no plans or reservations, all that was confirmed was his ticket from Costa Rica back to Canada 3 months later. That was when the 5 of us got inspired and got off the bus--pushing our way from the back of the packed vehicle, freeing ourselves onto the rain soaked Playa streets. The evening was filled with 1980s jams, dancing in the rain & adventure. The best fun is unplanned fun. Derek & I have said that if the occasion was to arise, we would jump on the next bus to adventure. But after getting off the bus, we decided to take the plunge & create our own portal to adventure. And so here we are, a hemisphere away from home...
