Back from Cancun
Hola! I just got back from Cancun and it was so nice to beat the winter
blues with a little sunshine, a little relaxing, and a few shots of tequila. I am so glad I made it down there before spring break season kicks into full gear, because I imagine the debauchery and partying increases by 10. Before I left I read some Cancun traveling tips; some were dead on and I found some to be downright wrong. Here are a few things that I experienced and some traveling tips: - The water was JUST FINE to drink from my hotel room. I was even a little worried, so I brought some powdered gatorade to mix in. Turns out I didn't need it for the taste, but I did use to get my electrolytes back in after they somehow went missing after too many tequila shots. - People seemed to understand English way better than I anticipated. They did appreciate my feeble attempts at speaking spanish, but I felt like the locals helped me out and didn't take advantage of me. - There are much better rates than the TELMEX phone card. I loaded up a Onesuite account and had the access number, and the calls were closer to $.18/min instead of half a dollar. WHile I didn't spend too much time talking on the phone, it was nice to easily let my mom and my girlfriend know that we made it okay. - THey were right, riding on the bus is crazy. You totally have to lower your head and push through people. Shane |
