I had a choice of going to the Yucatan or going to Jamaica and I really wanted to see the Myan ruins (this was in '73) but I chose Jamaica. I had a great time at Mo' Bay and the wacky weed was outrageous ,very cheap ,and plentiful . No snakes on the Island , but their was alot of political unrest at that time . Appleton Distillery was a neat place to visit and the Blue Mountain coffee is still the best I've ever had.

I would've liked the Mexico trip but glad I went to Jamaica.                                                                                                                                                                                   

p.s. A friend got Montezuma's Revenge . The whole plane got it on the retun flight . My friend figured it must have been from the ice cubes in their drinks on the plane from Mexico.

Wife and I were in Playa Del Carmen for a week at the start of June.  There is a bar in Playa called La Bodeguita del Medio (Little Store in the middle) right at the entrance of 5th ave.  It's a spin off of the original bar in Havana - you've never had a mojito until you've had one made with cuban rum!    We got plastered there a few times.

Also, was walking down a street looking for a restaurant someone recommended, when I saw a Ducati dealership!  They had one 695, a KTM Duke and a few scooters.  Tried to buy a t-shirt but their "showroom" wasn't what you would expect.  Still cool though, couldn't tell you where it was at.

yeah, and i'm going to avoid the water.  everything bottled!

Remember to use bottled water to brush your teeth too. Or you'll be sorry.... 

A good friend of mine works for the Border Patrol. He says that Mexico has recently had alot of problems with the gangs and drug cartels. Shoot-outs in the streets, kidnapping for ransom, etc. One of the drug lords' sons was hit in the streets, and they used a bazooka. Missed the dude, but took out the building behind him. Moral: stay in the resorts or very touristy places.

Have fun.  And bring me back some good Mescal.

I would much rather spend four days in Cozumel than in Cancun.  San Gabriel (really the only town on the island)

+eleventybillion on Cozumel vs. Cancun, but the main town is San Miguel.

All your electrical stuff will work, but consider taking an extension cord since some rooms have few outlets and they're always in the wrong place.

Don't worry about the water too much. Just don't drink out of the tap (or use tap water to brush your teeth) and you'll be fine. All ice is commercially made from filtered water. Any water used to make licquados, jamaica, tamarindo, etc. will have come from a bottle. No need to worry about drinks in restaurants, ice cream shops, or even from street vendors. NOBODY who lives there drinks tap water.

In years of travelling in the Yucatan/Cozumel area I've never gotten sick. I'm a big fan of streetmeat and refreshing beverages bought from carts.

If you're going to be doing any snorkeling or diving..get a shark cage dude!!

Hammerheads out like crazy down there!!

In hundreds of dives over 28 years I've never seen a hammerhead in Cozumel. There *are* occasional sightings, but you've got to get to very out-of-the way sites to glimpse pelagic fish like those. Even though I've tried hard I haven't managed to.

Hammerheads should not be among anyone's worries in that area.
