As we engage in idle and improbable banter, while still wondering where Rusty is stowed for the flight, it’s clear that Mark has kept the details of this trip to himself…
Let’s find out about where they are going, assuming that all these places are legit…
AZYOULIK– (from Google…) Hotel details- Set in a tropical jungle, this upmarket, adults-only, clothing-optional hotel (should be interesting?!) is steps from the beach and 6 km from Tulum. Offering thatched roofs, and terraces with sea or jungle views, the rustic-chic, electricity-free villas come with bathrooms, in-room tubs and beds with mosquito nets, as well as safes. Upgraded villas add individual features such as private beach access and outdoor tubs and/or hanging beds. Amenities include a bar/lounge. There’s also a spa with massage and therapeutic treatments, yoga and traditional Mayan steam baths and ceremonies. Parking is free, and phone or battery charging stations are available.
TULUM– Tulum is a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. It’s known for its beaches and well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city. The main building is a large stone structure called El Castillo (castle), perched on a rocky cliff above the white sand beach and turquoise sea. Near the ruins is the Parque Nacional Tulum, a coastal area with mangroves and cenotes (natural limestone sinkholes).

SANTA POCO (Little Saint?) and THREE AMERICAN COWBOY ACTORS– Yes, none other than Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin that seminal John Landis piece, THE THREE AMIGOS! It would also appear that Santa Poco is not a real place, but one conjured for the movie itself…
Why the misspelling of Azulik? Reading “Azyoulik” immediately made me groan at what I assumed was a pun – As-you-like. Dear lord…
I’m headed there in 10 days! I wonder if they’ll still be wandering around the jungle when I get there, maybe I can reproduce some of the action in some photos, ha!
