Rob and I decided to get in on the All You Can Jet promotion that JetBlue recently offered. We almost missed out on this, actually. We'd decided to do it and knew that we had until that Friday to purchase the pass, so we were taking our time researching where we wanted to go and that sort of thing. But that Wednesday evening I happened to go to JetBlue's site to look up something and noticed an announcement that the promotion would be ending early, at 10:00 pm that day. Which was in 10 minutes.

The pass was only available for purchase over the phone, so I dialed that number as fast as my fingers would move. And was told by an automated voice that the wait was currently 6 minutes.

When I finally got a real person, she informed me that we each had to set up a TrueBlue account, which could only be done online. Gah! However, she would kindly wait while we did it. "But hurry," she urged. "We only have 3 minutes left on this promotion."

I sat at my computer and Rob sat at his and we typed faster than anyone has ever typed in the history of the world. Name, birthdate, address, go go GO! And we made it. Barely. She gave us our confirmation numbers and we hung up the phone and commenced the heavy drinking. Partly to celebrate, partly because that was fucking stressful, y'all.

The way the pass works is that you can take as many JetBlue flights as you want between Sept. 8 and Oct. 8. We aren't willing to take many days off work right now, so we're limiting ourselves to long weekends and, thus, only destinations that JetBlue can fly us to quickly. Which is how we found ourselves this weekend in Cancun.

We get bored after more than a day on the beach, so for us a 3-day weekend was the right amount of time here. We had some time on Friday and Sunday to enjoy the beach and resort, and that still left Saturday to visit Chichen Itza. Needless to say, it was a fantastic weekend.

El Castillo, the main temple at Chichen Itza

On the way, we visited Suytun Cenote, an underground pond in a cavern (and sacred spot to the Mayan). There's an opening at the top that lets the light stream in. Gorgeous.

Chichen Itza includes more than just the main temple - it is an entire site of amazing ruins. This spot was one overlooked by many people - and surely we overlooked plenty as well. It's a huge site, and excavations are still being done.
