Our introduction to Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico started at Barcelona Tucancun, an Occidental Resort and Hotel. Our daughter arrived later than we had anticipated due to flight delays. We settled into our room and enjoyed dinner at the Seafood Restaurant Claraboya followed by cocktails in the main lounge…

Arriving in Denver via the I-25 late Wednesday we chose a nondescript hotel adjacent to downtown for ease of access to the meetings on the agenda. These meetings are with the same restaurant group as took us on our travels to Nashville late 2016. We are hoping for good new…
