My friend Traci (who was 
also my boss at the time) and I went to Cancun for our spring break in 2004. Yes, we were a little older than most of the college-aged crowd there, but that certainly didn't stop us from having lots of fun! The week was pretty much a booze-fest. Drinking all night every night, hitting up all of the massive dance clubs and other hot spots (a few of our favorites: Coco Bongo, Dady Rock, Fat Tuesday; we went to Dady Rock so many times that they put us on the VIP list), sleeping off our hangovers on the beach. We did take a break from all of the alcohol-related fun one day and went parasailing, which was incredible!
A few more random memories: meeting a cross-dressing guy from Austin whom I still run into every now and again, huge lizards everywhere, military officers with large guns patrolling the high-end shopping centers, fantastic shows at Coco Bongo, sweaty dancing, lots and lots of wristbands for all of the inclusive bars, riding the packed and uber-cheap buses at 4 in the morning, getting yelled at for being too loud at the hotel, being desperate for American food and hitting up the McDonald's.
We made lots of new friends from all over the world while we were there, and overall just had a blast. I loved it so much that I actually made another trip to Cancun just 2 1/2 months later, to celebrate my 24th birthday (the first trip was much more fun)!
