‘Travel Time’ Feature Added to LGBTSr
Have a tip? Share a trip? Email me at Editor @lgbtsr.org, I’d love to spread the word.- Mark/Editor
It’s spring. It’s travel time, let’s get out that sunblock, the rain poncho, our Google map apps, and a book bag stuffed with all the reading that brings us joy.
I’ve added a Travel Time feature to the site, as if the menu could get any tastier! It will also be included with The Weekly Readlines, listing three or four good travel articles each week. I might have to get a second image for the colder months, but let’s get started now with Bears En La Playa Bed & Breakfast, Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico.

Travel Time: Bears En La Playa Bed & Breakfast, Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico
Travel Time joins Q Audiobooks as a regular feature at LGBTSr, highlighting (in this case) destinations and travel suggestions for the LGBTQ traveler.
Hat tip to reader John H. for referring this fabulous B & B.
Bears En La Playa, located in Chelem, is a small bed and breakfast right on the beach. Chelem, Yucatan is a small fishing village just outside the port town of Progreso. We are 30 minutes from Merida, a city of about 1 million people. A better description might be that we are three and a half hours from Cancun.

Gay Travelers Magazine: Vinales Valley, Cuba – Touring the UNESCO World Heritage Site
This article first appeared at Gay Travelers Magazine, reprinted with PermissionBy Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong
On our second trip to explore Cuba, we decided to venture outside Havana to the amazing Vinales Valley. We booked an 11 hour tour called “The Vinales Valley – A UNESCO World Heritage Site” and we discovered a Cuban treasure.
The Vinales National Park is a Cuban National Monument. More than 90 percent of the property is in the hands of private owners. Thirty percent is owned by individual farmers and another 62 percent is owned by the National Association of Small Farmers. If you want to see the real Cuba, this is the place.
