Glad to see you back on board, Kevin. Enjoy the island !

I too am amazed and baffled by airline pricing and the constant changes, but you gotta compare apples to apples. Different departure flights (the less expensive being a red eye, as mentionned by mstevens). So not comparable. Different return flight seating category. While both departure...

Thank you Quero for the hard work. I don't have a copy of my translation, unfortunately, so it's lost. Going to work now, might redo some later this week, no promise though.

Well, the discussion had turned to newspaper stories found on the web and whether they were based on one or several different sources, so I did a bit of research and comparison. Spent time linking the same article posted on different sites and explaining why that kind of stuff happens. Then...

I like the warmth – of the climate, of the people, of the colors, of the language, of the food and spices. I love the cheerful and annoying sound of the Z gas truck, the polite greetings exchanged with passers-by, the fact that when I limped for a week after knocking my little toe, about...

Any chance my post could have been saved ? It said "invalid thread" when I clicked "send"… Nothing nasty about it, newstory translation, sure hate the idea of having wasted 2 hours for nothing.

I'll get the popcorn too next time and let others struggle with Google translations. Looks like I've missed quite a train wreck for the whole thread to have disappeared.

Where's the Scuba Mau boat accident thread ? I just spent almost 2 hours searching and translating newspaper stories from Spanish to English and lost it all when I hit send (invalid thread). I know the tone of this thread was getting nasty at times (and haven't read what has been posted for the...

I'll even smuggle pieces of the Eiffel tower to the island if you want ;) You might want to reconsider regarding the cheese : Christi claims the one I brought her last year got her sick :(

As a journalist with 20 years of experience, including the past 13ish as a copyeditor (which, where I work, includes A LOT of verification of information written by reporters), I can assure you that newspapers and other medias are filled with errors. Most of them due to honest, human mistakes...

I'll come to all 3 events if you buy me a plane ticket… The attendance of a French woman at February meets would totally impress the March group. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase ??? :blinking:

I know there are ops in Playa del Carmen that take divers to dive on the Cozumel reefs. Never used any of them, recall Tank Ha being recommanded several times on the board, I'm sure there are others, but don't remember which ones. With a small fast boat, the trip from Cozumel Centro to the...

I have heard the same thing from at least two different local sources (dive guides) on the island in the past. Of course that doesn't mean it is truly how it is done. Or even that it is legal. My experience working in Mexico in the past in a field that has nothing to do with diving is that...

Thank you for sharing. Wow ! What a story. Glad you are all alive.

I'm not going to comment on SCC as I've never stayed there and dislike AI resorts in general anyways. I also respect the fact that you didn't like the island and agree that it sometimes smells of sewage on Melgar (experienced that for a few days in a row last winter/spring near the McDonald's...

Thanks for sharing. The independance day parade looks impressive. Gotta ask : what's up with the fur-covered, yeti like creature standing next to the armed military on the small army truck ?

It does seem like a lot. But being shallow, beautiful and so close to town/Caleta/cruise ship piers, Paradise is very popular with snorkeling tours, beginning scuba divers, night dives, afternoon dives… My guess is those numbers emcompass all those activities as well as the different parts...

Proper translation : between 1500 and 1700 people a day.

Any issue with noise at Suites Bahia ? I rented an appartment last year on Rosado Salas, I could see the hotel 1 block South and wondered if the nuisance from the karaoke bars on Rosado Salas could be heard from the side-street rooms facing North… I've never stayed at the hotel but the...

This really sucks !!! Please post the name of the vendor if it does turn out to be a scam so that others avoid being in the same situation. +1 on Hotel Pepita. It is by no means luxurious, but I've stayed there several times and it's a good budget place. Rooms are a bit old but clean. They...
