Back in February my wife had to book a conference for work and it so happened that it was in our home town, where both of our families still live, but 1200 miles from where we currently live. The conference would be from June 5-10, and she thought it would be a perfect idea to take our 15 month old daughter to visit her grandparents, freeing us from the obligation of a Christmas visit. While she was making plans, she asked me what I would be doing during that time and the conversation went something like this:
J: What are you going to do while C and I are gone?
K: I don't know. Maybe clean out the garage or something.
J: You could go to Cozumel and -
K: YouSaidItCan'tTakeItBackNowAlreadyBoughtTheAirfare!!!
And just like that, I was planning a trip to Cozumel, my fifth time on the island, but my first time to go alone, after four pre-kids trips together. @Skittl1321 has always written trip reports, but I'll have to step up and do this one.
There were two goals for this trip: 1) Have fun, and 2) do it cheaply. One is a lot easier than the other. I was able to put the airfare on credit card points and most of my diving came out of my PayPal account, but I needed somewhere cheap to stay, which is how I ended up choosing Caribo Cozumel, the tiny $25/night owner occupied hotel on the edge of Centro that you've never heard of.
I'm going to break this up into multiple posts in the same thread, mostly because it's a lot to type all at once, but also because it's a lot to read all at once.
The short report: I was in Cozumel from June 5-10, stayed at Caribo Cozumel, and dove with Scuba with Alison on the 6-9 and Cozumel is, like, the best, you guys! I have pictures on Flickr.
