These are from our trip to Mexico City last weekend!

Not all dogs just guard your home… some guide your soul. 🐕

The Aztecs believed that when you die, your spirit must travel through Mictlan, a dangerous underworld filled with rivers, wind, and darkness.

And you don’t go alone.

A sacred dog—the Xoloitzcuintli—meets you there.

But here’s the twist 👇
That dog will only help you cross safely… if you were kind to dogs in your lifetime.

If you were?
It guides you across rivers and through the darkness to peace.

If you weren’t?
You’re on your own.

Let that sink in.

Thousands of years later, this legend still lives on in Mexico 🇲🇽—especially during Día de los Muertos—where dogs are seen as protectors, guides, and loyal companions… even in the afterlife.

✨ Moral of the story: Be kind. It follows you longer than you think.

Welcome to RCA Travels! What does RCA stand for, you ask? RCA are the initials of my family - R for Ray, C for Crystal, and A for Ashley.

Travel has always been a priority for us. From cruising and road trips to theme parks and weekend getaways, and from country-hopping across Europe to exploring the world, it is part of who we are. We’ve visited destinations throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and beyond, and I’ve personally sailed on 12+ cruises across all the major cruise lines. I’m not loyal to any single brand, so you’ll always get my honest, unbiased feedback on the pros and cons of each.
