WHAT TO DO

A FEW TIPS ON TULUM:

• THE ONLY FOOTWEAR YOU NEED ARE FLIP FLOPS. SAND IS EVERYWHERE AND HEELS ARE DUMB, SO ARE REGULAR SANDALS. SNEAKERS AREN'T A BAD IDEA IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO EXERCISE. 

• WHILE MOST PLACES USE FILTERED WATER, I WOULD SAY BOTTLED IS STILL BEST. EVEN FOR BRUSHING YOUR TEETH.

• BRING SMALL UNMARKED BILLS WITH YOU. SERIOUSLY: CASH IS KING, AND EVERY CAB RIDE SEEMS TO COST ABOUT $7. YOU'LL BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU CHANGE, SO THE MORE SINGLES YOU HAVE, THE CHEAPER THINGS WILL BE.

• THE OTHER THING IS, YOU HAVE A LONG RIDE FROM THE CANCUN AIRPORT TO TULUM. BUT IT'S SHORTER IF YOU HAVE YOUR DRIVER STOP AT THE 7-11 RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE AIRPORT FOR BEERS AND CHICCARONES. YES, REALLY.
