Background

What follows is a very rough travel blog of our "backpacking" trip to the Yucatan and points south. This trip was originally planned for December and January of 2008, but due to a number of circumstances, was rescheduled for March. Just so there's no confusion (as a few friends have asked), we were not literally "backpacking" (and camping) our way through Mexico, but rather traveling with our backpacks from place to place. We had no specific itinerary and in fact, the only pre-planned event was our flights to Cancun (our starting point) and our flights out, 17 days later. What happened between those flights was up to us.

I've added links to photo albums for each day (that we took pictures) -- these albums are slightly whittled down as we returned with close to 900 pictures.

For friends that don't want to bother with all this, I also posted a smaller set of highlights on Flickr. This photo set has geo-tagging data as well -- check out the map below (or on flickr) to see exactly where our trip led us.
