You will not believe how short the lines at customs are. this was my seventh trip to cancun and every other time has been like disney world filing through the shoot. they were so dead that we walked into customs and walked right up to the agent my WIFE and I could not believe it. Mexico is definetly still slow. when you go through customs there is a "doctor" (a guy in a white lab coat anyway) that makes you fill out a sheet saying that you have not had a cold any time recently, immediately past him there is someone with a thermal camera taking your temperature, which I thought was pretty cool. after that on to the button and two green lights. everyone that we encountered, taxi drivers, bell men, etc was thanking us for coming to mexico. I really think they were hurting without our tourist dollars, they were very appreciative that we were there. Go to Mexico and have a good time. there was also a stronger than normal Mexican army presence all around I found this also very reassuring.
Funny you found it reassuring, it scared the shit out of me and my friends. We were heading back to hotel at 4 am from clubs and saw those soilders passing by the steet with AK-47. Don't know why they were scaring innocent tourists like us like that, haha.
2 reasons: 1. I am a former marine so a soldier with a gun does not really get me too excited. 2. give me a soldier with a SKS over a crooked cancun cop looking to extort 100 bucks from me. just my take, remember that soldier is there to protect you from the real bad people. those people scare me to death
