Welcome Back Doug!

[Gale in KY]

:wave::wave:Can't wait to see your trip report..hope you are getting right on creating that this early morning!

Si - welcome back to reality TX neighbor.

It's sort of like going to heaven, getting a good taste, and then getting re-incarnated back down to earth. Drag!

IMHO - you've got 4 weeks to get a trip report out. It takes a couple of weeks to readjust to civilization, and a couple of weeks to write, edit, and post. Be nice people.

But you can always offer teases before the full report.

PS - Speedo? :eek: That's a good one. Someone got their pictures crossed.

Welcome home!! Sometimes I think we are so anxious for people to be home cause we didn't get to go!! :o I know your trip was wonderful, it did seem like you were gone forever!! :)

Thanks guys. I can give some initial thoughts. 8 days was perfect for me. I didn't enjoy my time in Isla Mujeres. It's an overcrowded, dirty, little place, complete with 4 or 5 story construction projects. In the daytime you are a sitting duck for hundreds of people hocking their wares. At nighttime it's marginally better. It's basically Cancun Jr.

Tulum is steadily growing. Even since September of '07 I see new places like Pez.

Margo and I had a great time at Mayan Grill and Hechizo. It was great to meet TnTWalter and Beachwolverine.

I can not speak higly enough about Suenos Tulum. I got the master suite for one night. Everything everyone said was true and then some. Leaving Jorge and Elizabeth was like leaving a dear family member. I can't wait to get back just to say hello to them again. Hi Giovanna. :wave:

Finally, Tulum is still #1 but Akumal is #1b. I had a blast there.

By the way...I found something I don't think anyone has ever mentioned...at kilometer 242 about half way between Akumal and Tulum there is a little market in a yellow building. You have to go there and get the homemade almond tequila served in expended (and hopefully sanitized) water bottle for $15. It's amazing!

Oh and don't be a cheapo. Buy the donkey out back a Coca Cola. He loves it.

Oh I'm glad you saw the Suenos we all know and love! Now be quiet about it, will ya????? :D We gotta keep some secrets around here!!!!

Welcome home!

[Lynnette]

Glad to have you back...can't wait to hear all about your trip!!! That's so sad to hear about Isla...it used to be paradise!! Isla is another victim of over development and advertisement.

Oh I'm glad you saw the Suenos we all know and love! Now be quiet about it, will ya????? :D We gotta keep some secrets around here!!!!

Welcome home!

I sort of want it to be a secret but since Jorge and Elizabeth are such sweet people I wish them nothing but full rooms forever.

Hi Doug! Glad you liked your trip! We miss you! Can't wait to read your report and see all the pictures!

Take care and the best regards from

This young lady, Giovanna, was really sweet. She can't be more than 20 years old, speaks 3 languages, is a beautiful young lady, a very nice host and has really taken to the family business. That is what I loved about Suenos Tulum. The owners are there and you are part of their scene. I love that Texas (ok ok Mexican) vibe. Everyone is my friend/family unless proven otherwise. Thanks G.
