wow cool! thanks for the info.
our trip is looking something like this:
Arrive Cancun, leave ASAP and spend two days in Valladolid at a colonial
style place, there are supposed to be some nice markets and local stuff,
close to Chitzen Itza so we can hit it early and late. We may explore Coba
from there, or when we are staying on the beach in Tulum we may hit it from
there. We'll be at a cabana in Tulum for 4 days, to explore Coba, Sian Kaan
Bioshpere, maybe some sea kayaking, maybe a bit of diving and or cavern (
not cave) dives, guided or ???? Then to Cozumel for a week of scuba diving.
thansk for the heads up a book, we were just thinking we needed something
like that. Any other ideas are very much appreciated. We are trying to get
beyone baby talk in Spanish, and if things work out right, my brother in
law, who has lived in MX for 15 years will be joining us for a few days.
