    Trip Report June 23rd thru June 29th.

    The first 2 nights of our trip we spent on Isla Mujeres. We had never been and were wanting to check it out for some time now. I.M. is so laid back that it barely exists. And it seems significantly hotter than Cozumel but then so does Cancun. I guess that is what happens when you build on top of...

We got our first shock at the Airport when we discovered that because there is no gasoline on the island, we would have to ride burros to our hotel. As...
