Packing for Cancun in January
My son and I are heading to Cancun during the first week of January for our first international trip. What clothes should we pack?
Lightweight, quick-drying clothing is key. Think breathable fabrics like linen or cotton. Januarys in Cancun can be surprisingly warm during the day, but evenings cool down. Pack a light jacket or sweater for those times. Swimsuits are a must, obviously. Don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. And comfortable walking shoes – you'll be doing a lot of exploring! Flip-flops or sandals are good for the beach and around the resort.
Great advice! I hadn't thought about the evenings cooling down – that's really helpful. Any recommendations on what kind of light jacket or sweater would be best? Something that doesn't take up too much space in my suitcase.
Secundaria Secrets?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and decided to check out Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera since it’s near my hotel. I've always been fascinated by school life in other countries. What's the d… more
Honestly, sneaking into a Mexican secondary school for lunch is probably not going to work. Security is tighter than a drum. Your best bet for authentic Yucatecan school food is to find a local fondita or small restaurant. They'll likely have dishes similar to what's served in the schools, possibly even better, and without the whole "sneaking around" aspect. Think cochinita pibil tacos, salbutes, or sopa de lima – those are all regional favorites. Good luck with your culinary adventure!
Haha, yeah, I figured sneaking in was a long shot. Security's probably insane! Thanks for the fondita suggestion – I hadn't thought of that. Cochinita pibil tacos sound amazing. I'll definitely look for one near the school. Appreciate the tips!
