Thank you. One of the most useful & informative posts I've read here lately. Shouldn't that be a sticky?

I stayed in an ocean view room at Vista del Mar the first time I visited Cozumel, and loved the rooms there. They're not very big but very charming, with little touches such as shell decorations, little stone mosaic in the shower, etc. Staff was really sweet and helpful, balcony great for...

Do you mean only 22-40% of the pop have the ability to recognize the smell of pee ??? Not sure that's what you mean, though, cause I I take the metro almost everyday, recognize the stench of p*ss, and that ability to smell pee doesn't make me feel so lucky... ------ Never mind, found the info...

Sorry for outing you, guys ;) I feel somewhat silly adding to this thread as I feel it's quite long already, but I have tons of housework to do and posting here suddenly feels like a much higher priority... So, short story long… ;) When I did my OW class, I used a rental suit and didn't pee...

Just realized how old this thread was. Can't delete my post, so just edited it out.

Mossman, while I agree with you regarding peeing in a wetsuit, I suspect you skipped basic anatomy classes in school. As a rule, urine does not go through the vagina (well, except maybe in the case of weird sexual practices, but that's beside the point). Urinary track infections take place...

First of all, congrats on the website. Clicked on your link out of sheer curiosity and ended up reading it all through (and daydreaming I won the lottery). It's both very informative and entertaining, and I love the layout and navigation. Great job. Many of the places you've listed are also the...

If I may : viajar is the infinitive form. It would be "No viajo…". "se" (from the verb "saber") means to know in an intellectual way. "To know someone" translates into "Conocer a alguien". For example : "No conozco a ddeborah pero me cae bien" ;-) Not a litteral translation, but how about ...

The famous tacos from El Camaron Dorado (transversal road) La Gitana, a cantina on Ave 65, serves great botanas. Here seafood soup and ceviche (followed by jugo de caracol and different tacos, not pictured) Cilantro soup for starter that day at Sabores (Ave 5)… … with chicken as a main...

As I'm sure you've noticed, many people proudly go by their nicknames rather than their first names, even if they may seem derogatory : Gordo (fatty), Flaco (skinny), Chaparrito (shorty)… So why not name a restaurant Chilango's? I always thought "you speak like a Chilango" meant "you use a...

Definitely share your view of travelling. Never been at Chilango's (yet), but have visited "Chilangolandia, DF" several times. Some of my yucatecan friends tell me I speak Spanish like a Chilanga… they don't mean it as a compliment, but that's what happens when you learn a language on the...

So sorry to read this Deb, hope you get better soon and keep your spirits high. Take care.

I fail to grasp your logic. What I'm reading is : because one person (me) interprets one of your posts as accusing Mexican DMs of sexual harassment, noone else can grasp the concept of your other posts not being racist. Why would you induce from a possible misinterpretation on my part of one of...

Mike, I have an issue with what you wrote because I feel this type of post just fuels undeserved prejudice. How would you feel if I wrote Americans are all ignorant, racist, war mongers ? I'm by no means trying to start a fight here or get political or (even worse IMO) politically correct...

Greg, if you plan on spending the first part of your trip on the mainland, you might want to fly into Cancun. Often cheaper, you can even try to fly into Cancun and leave from Cozumel and save some $$$.

Except of course for not diving the last day before flying home, there's no hard set rule. Some people like to dive every day for a week, others will plan a day off diving mid week so they can rest and visit the island, others still are happy diving every other day or less. It depends on your...

Would love to, Betsy. Planning/hoping to move to the island within a year… Fingers crossed, I miss Cozumel daily. If that happens, Greg can crash on my couch (I'll need a maid anyway ;) )

School ends on July 6th this year according to the SEP calendar, so better to book ahead for your dates in July. June 26-29 should be no problem, IMO. Of course there may always be a small local event filling up a place or 2 (I remember the Pepita being full once because of a kid's basketball...

+1 for Pepita. Their webpage is never updated, it's been quoting the same US price for a couple of years. Last March, I paid 400 pesos/room, including AC, fridge, bathroom. Quiet, clean, nice folks, 1 block from the Plaza, super easy walk to the ferry, Aldora and Aqua Safari piers. Just bring a...

Looks like "sweet memories"… Wish I had been there to share them… So Chief, did my plane ticket get lost in the mail ? ;) Guess it's time to suck up to the March group :D
