Yeah. She's a keeper.
Natasha, we will be staying at Fiesta Americana. I have been scouring the board for info on Cozumel and I read somewhere that Joewr is going to be down there around the time we are going. I contacted him via email and he said they were leaving two days before we arrive. They were planning on staying a little longer, but they just sold their house so they had to cut their vacation a little short to get back for the closing. Bummer. Oh well, maybe next time.
Dee, I have been checking up on dive ops and reading reviews and whatnot. I was kinda thinking maybe Papa Hoggs, Dive Palancar, or Aldora Divers. We haven't really decided yet, although, I guess we need to settle on one and go ahead and contact them to let them know we're coming. Who do you all use when you are down there? I got the Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkelling Guide to Cozumel for Christmas (Kathleen knows me all to well
) so I'm reading up on the different dive sites.
We plan on not eating any of our meals at the resort. Maybe breakfast or something, but that would be about it. From all I've read, it seems the food at most of those resorts is pretty mediocre. I've been doing a little research on that topic as well. We might check out the French Quarter(Joewr's favorite), El Capi Navegante, La Mission, Pancho's Backyard, and El More, but we are open to any and all suggestions.
Tom, I'll have to chew the fat with you about your trip to Coz, if you go to Clear Springs with Mike and I tomorrow (drysuit diving, that should be interesting.. that'll be a new one for me).
I would love to get any feedback from you all about dive outfits, restaurants, dive sites, and anything else that I should check out while we are in Cozumel.
