Tori, we are having our [very belated] ceremony at the Akumal Beach Resort. Their wedding packages range from $900 USD to $4000 USD, with each...
I'll throw out some specific numbers, since when we arrived here, Laura was looking at and interviewing for some jobs. Laura has a bachelor's...
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me this past Tuesday when I spent half a day in Atlanta's airport. I asked around, but everyone was clueless....
I enjoyed Avatar as well. Fantastic movie? Maybe not. Fantastic fun? Absolutely! A recent addition to Mexican cinema which hasn't been...
With my Magic Jack dead, I decided to try out Skype as mentioned in this thread. To call landlines/mobiles in the US and Canada, the service is...
This thread was uncanny in timing. I waited a full 24 hours to post this, to make sure it was dead...and yes, my magic jack is now officially...
Doesn't surprise me - I think most peddlers are sexist. Anytime I'm out by myself (or even with my 58 year old padre), offers are made. If Laura...
Maybe sing Kumbaya? The part that made me laugh was the 'on top of binge drinking, now your kids will be binge drinking and getting...
Typical media dramatization - seems to happen every year before Spring Break, especially. For what it's worth: At least once in every trip I've...
I should have mentioned that the call quality for me is also [seemingly] dependent on what type/carrier of phone is being used on the other end....
I have had and continue to use a Magic Jack down here. For the most part, the quality is fine for us. Probably between 10 to 20% of the time there...
There's an awful lot of variables to give an even remotely good approximation. But I'll try :) Where? Playacar: Private residential/hotel...
I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that La Paz or Los Cabos is more expensive than Cancun. I was surprised by prices there.
Wow, that's a big change. I'm sure the buses are slower than a private car, but not near enough to make up that kind of difference. For us, in a...
For us, Playa was a choice over Cancun, so with respect to that: (1) We live closer to the beach for less. (2) It's much smaller so I was hoping...
Yep it's really, really cheap. From the airport though, it's 20 minutes less and cost 2.5 times as much! (Still cheap though.)
From the station at 5th in Playa to the downtown station in Cancun is around an hour and 15 minutes or so.
I'm not 100% sure on the collectivo's schedule; I've seen them leave as early as 6:00 am from Playa for Cancun and and as late as 9 p.m. The fares...
You'll find the night life in Playa much less intense when compared to Cancun (although still fun.) The action is focused on 12th Street between...
Maybe stray dogs and I don't frequent the same places (which I find hard to believe!) or Playa has a less severe problem than Cancun. Obviously,...
