We are Mike and Lydia Pontius, formerly of Charleson, SC and about to become permanent residents of Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo, Mexico. We’ve been visiting the Yucatan for the last 20 years, during that time we got to know Dani Knod and Scott Brown, who co-founded a local Riviera Maya newspaper called Sac-Be. Not long thereafter, we became partners, responsible for Sac-Be.com, which has survived all of these years, though you will notice that we stopped publishing new articles between about 2015 and 2019. With our move to the Yucatan our goal is to make Sac-Be.com bigger and better than ever. For those interested in travel beyond the land of the Maya, we also publish justimaginevacations.com .How It All Began
