Coz trip report from February

[ggunn]

Guidos, Prima, Especias, La Choza and Mesa 17 and the French Quarter were my favorites. Get a hold of Blue XT Sea's, Chirsti's, restaraunt list. The food in Cozumel is only second to the diving. Have fun. We arrived at the airport about an hour and half before our flight and had plenty of time.

Add El Capi Navigante, La Perlita, Sonora, Santiago, Casa Denis, Pancho's Backyard, Palmeras, El Moro, Los Moros de los Morritos, the upstairs place near Sonora with the eagle on the sign, La Cabana del Pescador (The Lobster House), La Morena, and (recommended by Christi for their new chef) Acuario. So many Cozumel restaurants, so short the vacation...

Hey, do you think you can give up the settings for the "My Mode" that you referred to? I'd like to try them. Thanks.

I used the settings from Splashdown Divers web site. It has settings for use with and without a strobe. I'll type in the link (because I don't know how to add it). The address is: www.splashdowndivers.com/photo_gall...aphy/up_settings.htm#Details - C-5050 Camera%

Thanks, that might give me something to compare to in case I have any problems with my settings. Thanks again.

I'm pretty sure that's because nobody but the airline cares who is traveling with whom; it's a question of liability, not citizenship. If there is (for example) an international kidnapping going on and they don't exercise due diligence to keep themselves from participating in it, they could have a legal problem.

Airlines are responsible for the return flight of people rejected at immigration. That's why airlines routinely check passports and visas. Even if the Mexican authorities never ask to see the letter, the airline would be covering themselves by requiring a notarized letter with raised seal.

IIRC, a single parent bringing a child into Mexico also needs similar paperwork.

Exactamundo. This is why there is no hard and fast standard answer; the legal dept's of different airlines decide independently what it takes to sufficiently cover their butt, and they may not come up with exactly the same policies. It really doesn't make a diff what Mexican Immigration's rules are; it's the airline's hoops you need to jump through to get on the plane.

That's why my advice was to call the specific airline on which you will be traveling, get an official policy statement in writing to cover your situation, and take that statement to the airport to show to the counter attendant if there's a hitch. It also wouldn't hurt to get to the airport a bit earlier if you have "special circumstances".
