Things you won't find in Cozumel

[Lorenzoid]

How about all the great stuff you can find in Mexico that you can't readily find in the US? I'd like my local Kroger to sell cochinita pibil by-the-kilo.

As for coffee, I don't have time on an early dive day to make anything more than Nescafe, with plain milk. But even the Nescafe somehow tastes better in Mexico.

Root Beer pretzel snacks

Or Root Beer itself. Never.

As for coffee, I don't have time on an early dive day to make anything more than Nescafe, with plain milk.

I set up my coffee maker in my room the night before, turn it on as soon as I wake up, and make time. My dive op supplies the maker every trip, then picks it up when I leave, usually. Last trip he brought me a different one, then when I left it at the front desk, they told me that they still had the one I left four months earlier, so now he has two loaners.

Blue Angel (where I stay) has coffee available for tips in the lobby starting around 6AM. It's much weaker than what I make at home but it's cheap and convenient. Add a dash of Bailey's and it's not too bad.

...., I've never seen asphalt or bridges at my local Home Depot or Walmart.

"What other items are we accustom to in the US that aren't typical in MX or specific to Cozumel?"

I can tell you're a man of distinguished tastes..... It's like crack....except it's pork.

When I'm on cozumel, I am up before the sound of the alarm knowing I am going diving. Ive had two cups of coffee, good home cooked breakfast and ready to roll with an hour to spare to hurry the wife along.

You can not find margarita mix, Corona Lite/Premier...

Good marijuana. I can't wait until they let me bring my own.

We have done that on some trips when the coffeemaker looked clean and filters were supplied and so on. (Who is your dive op that they supply you with a coffeemaker--that's cool!) But lately (okay, I admit lately I haven't been to Cozumel but rather the mainland) we have made do with Nescafe. Granted, if we were staying longer than a week we might up our game.

I'm recalling a thread in which people were debating the finer points of portable coffee grinders and exotic beans to take on liveaboards. Maybe they brought half-and-half, too. I'm a philistine.

Until I can bring my own grow, I stick with cartridges. I love smoking and relaxing in the plaza while the sun sets and the bells toll overhead. If I was smoking flower, I couldn't do that.
