Almost stumped ya there Gordon! It's Chanukah :) (6th night tonight) and the Jewfish is the name of Jeremy's boat.

Jay - When the weather was rough we didn't make it to a beach club for the SI, but went to that no-name dock that's used pretty extensively by dive ops. No amenities, but it's a nice little beach. Jeremy provides water, fresh fruit, pastries and sandwiches on the boat. He also has dry towels...

Well , another vacation in Coz is in the books. Not our best trip, but there were a few highlights. Unfortunately, we had bad weather all but one day and the port was closed for 3 days, but I still managed to dive 3 days. That was definitely the highlight of the trip! We headed to the east...

The Isla is as sad for me to leave as I am to leave her. She's crying her eyes out and drenching the island, poor thing. Haven't seen a boat, so I'm assuming port is closed again. Should be, as vis above water is horrible. Well, we got ONE good weather day this week. I hope we have better...

At least YOU were in Coz.... I was at home crying in my beer. In the cold. It STILL hurts! LOL I'm thinking positive for you. The weather goddess is bound to get tired by the 21st :)

Came in on Friday to beautiful weather and the storm hit that night. Port was closed Sat thru Mon. :( That's the normal 3 day norte, but was hardly a 'mild' front Flyboy. Sorry. I was here. It was windy as HELL. Tuesday was still rough and honestly, I was glad I didn't dive. Wednesday was...

Four days of norte and counting.... We went to the other side yesterday and the temps were warmer, but it was too rough to swim. I guess the wind must have changed a bit. Saw the Aldora boats tied at Chen Rio, so I hope someone had a dive day! Highlight of the day was the absolute BEST...

I hate to complain... but this wind and cold has got me grumpy. 3 days and counting..... I have to get to Playa and back tomorrow, I've never been sea sick, but watching the ferry this morning has me worried.:vomit:

^^ says the one who called the worst norte I've ever seen a "mild front"^^

Looking at windguru.... am I crazy or is it only calming down a bit on Wed/Thur before another front comes in?!

I leave in 36 hours!!! :yeahbaby: I guess I should start packing.... No judging.

I just checked TSA and it looks like they lifted the ban! Happy dance! I got caught in the Middle East in May unaware, and it was SUCH a hassle to check my laptop and Kindle at the gate and then retrieve when we landed.... When the ban expanded to Europe I just gave up and left the laptop...

The new TSA regulations don't allow any electronics larger than a regular sized cell phone on the plane with you when traveling internationally. Some nations haven't yet implemented, but I read that Mexico started this month. That means you can't take them in carry-on either way :(

Last time we put a laptop in our checked luggage it didn't make it... No great surprise if you've seen how they throw around luggage. Yes, it was in a padded case in hard-sided luggage. I'm not sure what else to do. How are you all packing your laptops and Kindles for the journey?

To answer the OP's question. Yep. It's coming....

Thanks Christi! I was only thinking norte and didn't understand how the other side of the channel would be calm. I wasn't too far off LOL

Probably a dumb question, but if weather closes the port in Cozumel, is it that much different in Playa? I know there's the option of cenotes, but if the weather is bad I don't relish the idea of taking the ferry across. Not really an issue for me as my trips aren't 'Dive' trips anymore. I...

Looks like I'm going to miss most of you, but you've got a good sized group on the island you should plan a dinner!

My US airlines don't ask for my passport info...? I haven't flown Aeromex in years, but as long as the connecting flight times look good, and the total cost (including taxes/fees and luggage) looks good, I'd go for it!
