Starting our vacation from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada: We caught the commutor flight from Sault Ste. Marie to Toronto at 6 am. The weather report the night before was calling for heavy snowfall and blistery winds. Lucky for us it was mostly rain on our drive to the airport @ 4:30 AM. The flight from the Sault to Toronto was uneventful. We landed in TO, found our departure gate and waited. Flight from TO to Cancun left about 10 am. On flight, we were surprised to find out that our compl...
Cancun, Mexico borealjka new world awaited me..one that I never really knew. Sure, I had read lots of history throughout high school and studied geography too but this was my first experience as a grown adult to a new destination outside of Canada..Mexico was something I could only relate to by once having a friend..called Juan. In my mind he reminded me of the typical Mexican peasant or slovenly soldier one viewed in the westerns we'd watch in the old days...anyways; having just been married to Nicole; my younger,...
Playa del Carmen, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico tramper
... up chatting to 2 girls that worked there. One was mexican and the other an Argentinian named Christina. She was a lovely lady and we had a great time chatting about different things and she also helped me learn more spanish words. When she heard that I was going to be travelling in Argentina and Patagonia she told me to come back the next day as she would bring in a book of the area that she had. So I then left and went back to the hostel on my ****** bike.

... For some reason, the topless gals came out in full force the last day we were there. Everything else was perfect.
Meeting people was really fun. Met some fairly bleary-eyed folks in the Margarita Pool Bar but hey, that was part of the experience. Met a really fun English guy and his family (from Birmingham I think) named Paul Harris. We had some fun conversations with him.
... I enjoyed a red cactus (hibiscus) margarita. After lunch we walked back to gather our beach items and head to Tulum pueblo. About a quarter mile past the southern end of the pueblo we found the large nursery on the east side of the road "Vivero." We picked up bougainvillea, fan palm and soil for the flower pots we previously bought. We also picked up a lime tree and a flamboyant tree to plant in the jungle across the street from us. The nursery has a wide ...
Chemuyil, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico chanchemuyil... in Cancun with his family) packed to the brim with love, plus a few dozen hand made thick flour tortillas, about 30 lbs. of tamarind candy and a hunk of cheese the size and weight of Jupiter - I kid you not. The bus driver had to put all passengers on the left and my baggage on the right just to balance the bus. The bus departed Zihua twenty minutes late, unbeknownst to me at the time setting the tone for the trip. Into the dark, we ...
Zihuatanejo to Playa del Carmen, Mexico tacoinusa... caught a large, crayfish, lobster type crustacean with their bare hands from the ocean floor which they sliced open with a machete and then went in to town to buy garlic and supplies to cook it. People carry machetes and knives plus other tools for use in their everyday lives and it took a bit of getting used to because we kept thinking we were getting robbed. There was an incident with a guy and a machete which turned out to be a large metal set square. I saw a guy today ...
Tulum, Mexico inoursuitcase... likely to have reasonable Internet and telephone connection services as Rick had to do a second interview for the job he is chasing back home. As Tulum is still a frequent hang out for tourists we were sure we would find what we needed. We quickly found a really nice, clean hotel room and headed out to source a good place and price for a lengthy phone call to Australia. After a few places we found a really nice ...
Tulum, Mexico eatdessertfirst... too. He was a more typical backpacker and agreed with me that the others on the bus were unbearable. A guy approached us while we were waiting and told us he had a first class bus and was headed to Cancún. I had to decide within seconds whether to do it or stay on the bus to Chetumal. We were running a bit late and I didn't know about bus availability at Chetumal. Do I take the risk of ...
