Ana Mancini From Cancun!
Hi Guys,
I have so many things to share with you today. I am making this post from my hotel room here in beautiful Cancun Mexico! I can’t expressed how beautiful this place is to me. The energy that they have here is completely different from Miami and I love it. They are much more laid back and the people are so polite and helpful (of course, I am a tourist with American dollars. . .LOL).
Let’s start at the beginning. My business partner and good friend and her husband were standing there waiting to pick me up at the airport with a sign “Welcome to Cancun”, it was so cool and right out of a movie. Just that little thing they did made me start my experience off with warmth and happiness. They drove me to my hotel, made sure I got checked in properly, told me about the things to do and see and be careful of. You get the idea.
One of my purposes here is to look for a place to live and to make sure I want to live here. So bright and early the next morning they both arrive with a dozen water bottles in hand ready to drive me all over the place and help me look. The properties here are amazing. They have gorgeous oceanfront condos wonderful amenities and lot’s of space for a lot less than what you can get in Miami.
I have receive numerous emails from people warning me about coming to Mexico and to be very careful. My friends have lived here three years and to tell you the truth, I feel very safe here. You can walk on the street and it is completely safe. Keep in mind, I am in the tourist area and where I am going to be living but my friends drove me throughout Cancun and I felt very safe. Don’t believe everything you read or see on TV about crime in Cancun, it’s hogwash. Another thing is, I don’t plan on living in Cancun the rest of my life. I plan on staying here about a year.
The reason for this is I can be close to my business partner and business wise it is a very good decision. Also, for girls from my network, most of them are from South American and Central America and it is much easier access for them to get here rather than flying to and dealing with customs in the US.
Food is delicious here and reasonably priced. Clothes are more expensive. Services are less expensive. For example; all the condos I have been looking at have maid quarters and I can hire a live in maid for $150 or less a week (that is what I paid for one day of just cleaning my house in Miami), you have to love Mexico. . .LOL!
So, I am very happy with my new adventure. I will keep you posted about all my experiences here. Miami has a beautiful ocean but here it is much nicer to me. I just came from a walk on the beach and the sand is just like powder. Right now it is a little humid but Miami is humid too. I think it’s a bit more here so my hair is on the fritz. . .LOL!
You all know I love to go to movies so it took me only until my second day to make it to the movie theatre. I went to the La Isla Mall and saw The Hangover Part II the second time. Here it is in English with Spanish sub-titles so I can listen or read, best of both worlds. The mall was beautiful, it was just like any mall in Miami. I didn’t spend enough time there to see it all so I guess I’ll have to go back, darn it!
Very importantly, they have Starbucks so I am happy.
One last thing. I find it funny. Spanish is the natural language here and my natural language but I find myself speaking English, go figure, guess I have to stay in practice.
Have to run, today a real estate agent is picking me up to look at more properties then I will relax and finally spend a nice dinner at my friends house.
With Love Always,
Ana
