gateway to the Mayan world. The ruins of Tulum, perched high on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, include several excellent examples of Maya architecture. Not far away is Coba, an ancient
city situated along five lakes. There are more than 6,500 structures at Coba, many of them temples and pyramids, though only a few have been fully uncovered.
Approximately a four-hour drive from Cancun lies the most spectacular of the Mayan sites, Chichen Itza. Settled by the Itza around A.D. 868, the site offers some of the most amazing remaining examples of Mayan architecture.

IN SUNNY CANCUN THE FUN NEVER STOPS
Mexico’s sparkling blue seas, warm climate and long stretches of white-sand beaches lure travelers who are intent on basking in the sun and hopping from restaurants to lively nightclubs in the evening. Yet, there is a deeper, more compelling side to this country. With its ancient Mayan history, architectural wonders and rich cultural heritage, Mexico presents the traveler with a colorful palette of options for exploration and adventure.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Cancun has become Mexico’s premier resort destination on the Yucatan Peninsula. Its main strip, Boulevard Kukulcan, is lined with dazzling hotels, restaurants and shopping complexes. Its beaches are picture perfect. And with an array of sports activities, including world-class golfing, horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving, it seems that the fun never stops in sunny Cancun.
In the evening hours, Cancun’s nightlife heats up. Dine at one of the many beachfront restaurants, then head for a nightclub. Whether you enjoy jazz, salsa or rock music, there’s a club to keep you dancing till the wee hours of the morning.
Cancun lies in close proximity to Isla Mujeres, Xcaret, Cozumel, Xel-ha and Tulum, so taking an excursion is a must. Just a ferry ride away, Isla Mujeres is known for its cave diving, while some of the best reef diving is found in Cozumel. The eco-archaeological park of Xcaret is a Mayan playground of beautiful coves inlets and grottos.

AVOID LONG AIRPORT LINES
If you don’t like waiting in long airport lines (and who does), consider applying for membership in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) PreCheck program. This is an expedited security-screening program connecting travelers departing from airports within the United States with smarter security and a better air travel experience.
The TSA PreCheck program is currently available at more than 200 airports with 79 participating airlines nationwide.
Members of the PreCheck program can take advantage of dedicated screening lanes at airports, plus you can keep shoes and light jackets on, and toiletries and laptops stay in bags, so there’s no fumbling around as you approach the conveyor belt.
Kids 12 and under can get PreCheck screening for free as long as they travel with a member parent or guardian. Older kids must enroll on their own.
AAA Schuylkill County will host a temporary TSA PreCheck Enrollment Center
To provide AAA members and travelers a convenient way to enroll in the TSA PreCheck program, the AAA Schuylkill County office will serve as a temporary “pop-up” enrollment center from
