Who is MapChick?
Lots of tips and information concerning your trip to Cancun, Cozumel, or the Riviera Maya. What to pack, what documents you'll need, what to expect when you land in the airport, Mayan recipes, Spanish words, links to great websites about the area, fun things for the kids to do, how to call home, trip reports, how to get around, and more. Plus we have aerial photographs of major hotels, and a hotel locator so you can find where your hotel is located.

You spend thousands on your trip,$100s on hotel and airfare deposits. What if the unexpected happens?

Check out TravelSafe's "cancel for any reason" policy, you can buy it here on Insure My Trip.

If you do any browsing on Cancun area discussion boards, then you probably already know the one on the right. Our family makes maps and guides of the area, and I (Laura) like to chat with people on the discussion boards. Someone started calling me MapChick, and the name stuck.
