    Thank you for the info Marooned I will check out the Chaco's at the local REI. I'm really looking forward to covering as much of the beach as I can.

    I HATED walking thru the thick sand which u sink into - maybe this is a post-Wilma thing - in front of Royal Sands, etc so I gave up. It's WAY too diffficult. Especially after walking FOREVER on the hard packed beach at Puerto Morelos. But u should go in the sand *you* like. For me it's hard-packed.http://flyway.in/go.php?id=10 :)

    Davisod I'm sorry to hear the Sands has mushy sand but I'll try to make the most of it. BTW, did you know that the http address you included in your post has a virus attachment?

    For my fellow nerds:

    The url http://flyway.in/go.php?id=10 redirects to http://uwfierfenvviwerig.ngc1976.net/nova/index.php which tries to install MS's Remote Data Services and then attempts to plant the Bloodhound Exploit on the viewer's machine. Naughty-naughty. This is an attempt to take advantage of a known vulnerability in Apple's QuickTime Player 7.x.

    Symanyec's AV caught it as soon as I hit the page. Below is the message in the popup. The names have been removed to protect the innocent.

    DISTANCES

    CANCUN PALACE 14.4
    NH KRYSTAL 8.9
    DIFF = 5.5

    CLUB MED 20.6
    NH KRYSTAL 8.9
    DIFF = 11.7

    In the Peoples Choice Guide (.com if you care) the locations of hotels and restaurants are conveniently listed in .1km increments. This is a great help as most other reference guides list the closest km post, which could be nearly 1/2 one way or the other.

    The distance questions of ELLABEAR424 and Alice are shown above according to the PCG travel guide.

    I only noticed the virus was attached when I saw the message I sent after I sent it. I think I got rid of it tho with Ad-Aware. I think I got it when a Bulk mail item on Yahoo was infected. Sorry 4 any incovenience.

    Re: DISTANCES

    Lol, I was not quite as ambitious as I thought I was, so I'm probably going to have to go back and try again.
