(We recommend you go save a lounge chair at the beach or pool using the hotel beach towels around 8am so you have a spot after our Q&A event)
(We also recommend spending some of the day exploring the hotel- spa, workout facility , swimming pools, hotel restaurants, and talk to the front desk employees about how to reserve a golf cart during your stay. If you are comfortable, maybe mingle with other readers in our group.)

Day 3. Sunday 23rd.
We will be your personal guides to explore the gorgeous 5-mile long island!! We will guide you all to the ancient ruins – The fertility goddess Ixchel (Isla Mujeres means Island of Women) Walk through the Punte Sur Sculpture Garden. We will also visit the turtle rescue, and take pictures at the cliff side of the island. On the way we will show you all where their market(Isla’s version of Walmart) is in case you need to purchase anything during your stay.
Note: this is a small island with very few cars. Golf carts are the main transportation for island visitors. We will gather you all in groups of four to split the golf cart costs for those who would like that option. (Which isn’t very much, four people on one cart is about $25 per person for 24-hour usage)
