Sunblock SPF 30 and above depending on how fair your skin is
Thanks Brian that was really greta info!! Tell me.... what exactly are surf shoes and where can one buy some? Also....if i bought my own snorkel gear and take it with me....could I possibly resale it down at the resort before I leave? You see.......I don't snorkel at all.....so wont need it after coming home. Also...... is it wise to bring my cell phone with me? Or just leave it at home? Will a cell phone even work where Im going? |

While the A. I. may tell you that tipping is not required. It is still
appreciated. What amt should I tip to people who carry luggage and such? And.... on the cleaning staff and bar tenders and waiters and such.....shoud I tip them for each time they service or just wait until we leave and tip all at once? |

Apply it before you go outdoors, the sun is hot in the Caribbean. Take plenty of small bills with you. They take American money, but they may give you change in pesos. I tip at the end of the week. You may decide you love snorkeling after trying it. Becca Sleazy3 http://www.cruisemaster.com/sleazy3.htm MOAGC http://www.motherofallgroupcruises.com/ |

And.... on the cleaning staff and bar tenders and waiters and such.....shoud I tip them for each time they service or just wait until we leave and tip all at once Usually an envelope will be provided in your room for tipping the housekeeping staff. You do this on the last day. Also, either the head waiter or the front desk will have an envelope for the waitstaff. You put your tip in the envelope and hand it to the headwaiter on the night of your last dinner. Luggage, I usually tip $1.00 per bag. I don't tip on small carry on bags that I carry myself only the larger bags. Cell phones, ask your cell phone service provider if it will work in Mexico. Most don't because US Cell phones run on a different frequency then the rest of the world. Any convenience is lost in the high roaming and long distance costs. You can purchase LadaTel calling cards to call folks back in the US. Mexico has many very inexpensive internet cafes. If you don't need voice communication, you can send and receive web mail emails from an internet cafe. Some hotels even have an internet cafe on the property for use by guests. As for water shoes/ surf mocs, I usually pick mine up at the local K-Mart or Wal-mart during summer season. In a pinch an old pair of canvas slip-on boat shoes or sneakers will do. As for snorkel gear, I don't think that the hotel will permit you to sell it on premises. Just hang on to it. You may find that you really like snorkeling. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
