Greetings from Riviera Cancun in MEXICO - Publisher Boondoggle!

A Note From Your Publisher

By Jess Searcy July 23, 2019

Greeting Macaroni Families! I'm writing to you this week from Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun! Well... not really. Really, I'm working double-time last week, before my trip, to get this newsletter put together for you ahead of time. So that by the time you get this note, I WILL be in Mexico! Right now, I'm still dreaming. But right NOW, I'm in Mexico! Are you confused yet? I am! But I'm sure I'm happy, because I am seeing myself right now in a pool with an umbrella drink!

So what the heck am I doing here? Every year, fifty Macaroni Kid publishers from around the US and Canada meet up for our annual Silver Daisy Boondoggle. We get the scoop on family-friendly destinations and then report back to you with reviews, tips and ideas for your family bucket list. This year, we are hitting an all-inclusive resort for families, couples and girlfriends in Cancun. Be sure to follow #mkgoesazul on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see everyone's posts about the trip!

I hope you are having a great week. Squeeze in those end of Summer memories, it will be over before we know it!
