I received my new DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone the night before we headed to Mexico for an early kick-off to summer. Naturally, I modified an old Pelican case to fit the new drone late into the night and brought it along.

This beautiful resort is Secrets Playa Mujeres, located 30 minutes — and a million miles — north of Cancún. It's much more easy-going and peaceful than your average Yucatán mega-resort and it's a great place to spend a relaxing weekend.

This photograph was taken on one of my very first flights with the new drone. Not a bad start!
