Mexico Driving to Yucatan
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 01:25 PM UTC
Friends of mine are getting married in the Yucatan area at the end of December. Anther friend and myself are planning on driving down from US/Mexican border along the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone have any tips, comments, etc? He is fluent Spanish and we have driven through Guatemala and Hondorus so we're not too concerned about the drive and places to stay en route as we don't need anything fancy. Any places you recommend stopping to see on the way down?

Isla Cozumel how's the weather?
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 10:45 AM UTC
We arrive in Cozumel in two weeks time- can't wait! How's the weather at the moment? I've looked at alot of weather websites but all they say is things like "heavy rain showers" and they don't say if this means throughout the day, or just usually one heavy shower and then clear. Does anyone know?Anyone there right now? Am starting to think my holiday will be a weather washout!!

Cancún Cancun or Playa Del Carmen
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 12:18 AM UTC
We are planning a trip to Cancun the week before Christmas for 7 days and be back by Christmas Eve. We are thinking about staying either at the Grand Caribe Resort & Spa (Blvd 11.5KM), or Barcelo Tucancun Beach in Cancun. Maybe even Gran Porto Real at PDC. Any advise from all your experience travellers? Is there any special activities going on during that time of the year?

Mexico Dolphins in Cancun
Posted: Sat July 4, 2009 01:42 PM UTC
Can't decide between Dolphin Discover $199 for dolphins, manatees and sea lions, or $125 at the Aquarium for just dolphins. The fact you can take your own camera to aquarium appeals.

Anyone been to either?

I'm only in Cancun for 2 days in July. ONe day to see the beach and dolphins, the other to do Chitchen Itza. Quite like to see the Blue Cenote too. Is it possible to get there form Chitzen. You seem to get a long time at Chitzhen so I'd like to nip to the Cenote and back.

Querétaro SLP to Querétaro
Posted: Fri July 3, 2009 05:57 AM UTC
Have been in SLP for the past few weeks, now driving down to Querétaro. Would love to hear some tips of what to see and do while I'm there and/or anything thing between the two cities.

There is almost nothing posted on Virtual Tourist, and not much to be found on the search engines.

Would also like to know about the traffic. When is rush hour and how bad is it?
Thanks!

Ruinas Uxmal Like to visit Uxmal in July.. Traveling from Cancun...
Posted: Tue June 30, 2009 04:38 AM UTC
I need to know how to get a bus in Merida that Goes to Uxmal. I will be traveling from Cancun, in July 09. I feel safe taking the bus from Cancun, however my girlfriend thinks that this trip is going to be complicated. I'm bilingual and this might be some help. The more that we talk about this trip the less safe we both feel.. Please replay with detail info on how to get around once we get off from the bus terminal in Merida..

Thank you,

Distrito Federal Condesa Hotels
Posted: Tue June 23, 2009 08:49 PM UTC
I have been to Df many many times and usually stay in Centro Historico, but, my next trip is with my fiance and would like to stay in Condesa if it is possible. OK, here is the rub.. I usually stay on Cinco de Mayo or at the Isabel for us30 a night.. is there anything in that range in Condesa? We are going to be travelling for a month so the budget is a little tight.. I would consider Roma also.. I don't know the Napoles area.. Coyoacan would be fine as well though a lot less convenient.

Tijuana passports
Posted: Tue June 9, 2009 09:05 PM UTC
Well my cousins and I are planning to drive to Tijuana June 26th, just for a weekend. But I do not have a passport! Of course I have my birth certificate and a valid US ID, but I heard that its the law now that you need to have a passport to come back to the US. But Its pretty much impossible for me to get one by the 26th of this month! It takes forever to get it mailed to you. What would be the consequences if I go without a passport?

Mexico Mayan Riviera
Posted: Sun June 7, 2009 02:19 AM UTC
Hi, I just booked a 7 day all inclusive package in Tulum for the first week in July. I know that this is considered the "rainy" season. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how rainy it is at this time of the year. Are we talking torrential rain daily or just short bouts of rain during the day? Anyone visited at this time of the year before?
Thanks in advance! Al

Tulum Contacting Los Arrecifes
Posted: Wed June 3, 2009 08:28 AM UTC
Hello,
Does anyone know the best way to contact Cabanas Los Arrecifes?
I've tried the website and it doesn't seem like the reservation request went through. And neither of the telephone numbers seem to ever lead to a real live person. Is there an email address anyone knows about? Or should my boyfriend and I just simply keep calling?

Thanks!

Puerto Vallarta Tours / excursions - Favorites and NOT so favorites
Posted: Mon June 1, 2009 11:54 PM UTC
Almost eveything I read everyone loves the excursions they take and the companies.

We will be two adults and 2 teenage boys.

I was curious on what people FAVORITES are and / or which ONES they would NOT do or recommend. I figure both of these should narrow it down.

So far I have looked at three companies:
Vallarta Adventures
Ecotours Vallarata
puerto Vallarta tours

We will probably take 3 or 4 days of tours during our 7 days there.

Also would be interested in Nighttime outtings - fiesta nights, sunste sailing, pirates outing etc that were good and/or bad.

Mérida Transport from Cancun to Chelem
Posted: Mon May 25, 2009 05:44 PM UTC
Hi everyone,
We are taking a trip to Chelem in August. We will be arriving at Cancun. If we hire a car just to get to Chelem, is there a drop off point? If we take the bus from Cancun, can we get a bus all the way to Chelem, or will we have to change to a taxi at some point?
Thank you !!
