Would you like to escape to the Mayan Riviera on a five-day jaunt with a fun and lively group of travel bloggers? If the answer, as we suspect, is “yes,” then start packing your virtual bags and join us each day this week as we travel to paradise on our first-ever #StarTrip!

What is a #StarTrip? Don’t worry, there’s no space ship involved. We’re inviting a group of 12 top American, British and Spanish bloggers to join us on the Mayan Riviera, where they’ll report on their experiences via Twitter and their blogs. On the Anglo side, Earthexplorer, Vagabondish, Hole in the donut, Bald Hiker and Tripatini will delight you with tales of this intense adventure, while on the Spanish side Trykita, Viajando con Diego, Hombrelobo, Flying Paranoias, Yorokobu and Diario de a bordo will do the same for their audiences. Among all of us, we’ll transport you (virtually, alas!) to this idyllic Mexican destination, whetting your appetite (we hope) for future adventures of your own.

So fasten your seatbelt, folks, and tune in for the next five days on Twitter and Facebook as we bring you direct dispatches from the lush Mayan Riviera – and do stay tuned, because this #StarTrip is but the beginning of a great surprise to come. All aboard!
