You just like riding a freezing cold bus all night, or is there a further plan once in Belize?

Does that have a keg?
Get outta here, MMM. You've been promoted. Go Mod Scuba Equipment and Marine Physiology where you belong!! *snicker*
I always thought you had to get promoted IN to the Coz forum?

Leave Cancun at 10:30, 11, or 12 and arrive at the border 5 hours later for a middle of the night crossing? I guess it's done all the time. I'd feel safer riding in daytime, and border crossing in daylight.
I was poking fun at his empty post.
But you did get promoted, working all over, and I don't even remember the other guy...?
Jim Baldwin had a promotion at work so was unable to devote the necessary time to the job and so resigned. Me, I'm retired and so have oodles of time on my hands. I am still moderating this forum (which I was initially recruited to do) and, true, after a few months at that, got "promoted" to moderate the whole site. I still post as a regular member in this forum but when I think a thread is likely to become controversial, I don't. That is because mods don't moderate threads that they are already in and I try to anticipate when I might need to step in . If I find myself in a thread that has become controversial, I ask that another moderator take over.
When it was recently decided to recruit more moderators, I did my level best (both working with other moderators who were "voting" and with the candidate to encourage her to agree to join the team). I was successful! As you have noted, Deb did sign on and I think she is a GREAT addition! Moderation is a job that gets little thanks and lots of complaints since no one likes to be told their post is off-topic, or uncivil (which is generally why we moderate). "Unfriendly" is another one and we frequently hear it about the Cozumel form (which has a reputation as clique-ish). But it is also an opportunity to learn a ton.

[h=1]NOAA: IF A HURRICANE DOESN'T FORM IN THE NEXT 10 DAYS, 2013 WILL GO DOWN AS SLOWEST START TO HURRICANE SEASON IN SATELLITE HISTORY [/h]Hurricane season has been a dud despite dire forecasts
I'm hoping this remains the case. My trip is less than 2 weeks away.
