    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

    As a longtime subscriber who lives in California, it is stunning to me that this is your first time in Mexico. How is this possible? The 2nd largest reef in the world is near you. I hope you get an opportunity to snorkel there! And Hunter is so good in front of the camera! She is made for this! What a star! Hoping to see a Mexico series in the future. So much to explore! Including stunning ancient ruins!

    15:17- Having a Mayan 'mini' pyramid next to a Spanish-built chapel was NO accident. They knew the locals were going to keep going somewhere that was ALREADY sacred so the citizens would have fewer issues converting to a new faith. Of course, in other parts of Mexico, they built churches right on TOP of Mayan and Aztec pyramids for the same reason!
    I hope you get to explore the BIG Mayan and Aztec pyramids before too long (and Mexico City is worth its own dedicated trip)!
    Thanks for sharing this with us (and beautifully filmed)!

    I met my wife in Zacatecas MX thirty years ago this October on a business trip I was on out of the Napa Valley, where I was raised, working for my employer, Holiday Inn/IBM based in Maryland and Washington DC. What an unexpected job, I got to travel so much an inevitably found a spouse who worked for an airline. Our 'Hunter', Lindsey, was born in '99 and she was a world traveler by her first birthday and in '22, finally made it to Europe where her Daddy went to eight times, her paternal Grandfather and Grandmother once, and where her paternal great grandparents were from.
    We're a family with a thousand year history of being travelers, dating back to Spain, Italy and Norman Britain. My daughter wants to travel for her work like I and my father did, majoring in International Studies, now working on her Masters.
    Your videos have lifted an 'empty nester's' spirits because I see in Hunter's and your Son's eyes the wide eyed wonder they get from good parents sharing a world of wonders with them. Your videos are not just of travel, they offer great parenting (and grand-parenting though I am not one yet) tips, teaching wannabe parents that they can still travel soon after having their children like my wife and I did, and my parents did, and have an awesome time.
    And also youse have a great excuse to ride those kiddie rides in the theme parks, you really really do, as my wife and I did.
    Thanks for your heartwarming videos and you shared Mexico, which became part of my Chicago bred 'gringo' life in '94, very well. The reason I made friends there and elsewhere in my travels is I learned as a tourism systems teacher, to follow 'when in Rome rules' rather than teaching my team we had to do it 'by the book, the American Way'. When we were ordered to work outside the US, about thirty pct of our work, we had a great time and made lifelong friends starting with my first business systems teaching trip in snowy Montreal in '90.
    There my hotel clients took me to their downtown revolving restaurant and joked with me that the Napa Valley, which they had visited, was not about wine, but about dairy cows due to its huge dairy farms.
    They gave me a day off on my final day there so I could see Quebec City. If you've not gone to either Quebec City or the Napa Valley, I urge you to go. Just 20 mins south of Napa and an hour by ferry from San Francisco is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, zoo and theme park, which I know your family would enjoy. I live in Phoenix now, but it is my most fav memory of my last visit to Napa, to see my nephew, in '13.

    Cozumel is where my friends own an awesome Mexican / American restaurant. I will always mention them because they are amazing people.
    Ernesto & Lisa own / operate Rock N Java AND the Thai Noodle Bar. RnJ is across from Mega and Thai Noodle Bar is on the ground floor of the Mega shopping complex. Fantastic food.
    When I worked with Royal, we had a blast in Costa Maya. Many of my coworkers were from Mexico so they took me to some of the legit (and probably a bit questionable) places to eat…but the food was awesome and apparently, I had an iron stomach during those years ;)

I think it is so cool that Hunter gets involved in the cooking classes too. These trips are the coolest education she and Koa could ever have!! I so wish I could have had this type of education like these kiddos. You to are amazing parents!! I am sold on cruises now. For all the many ones you have taken I am now convinced that I need to face my fears and try one. Now which one should I try. Hmmm so many to pick from lol.
