Getting drunk at a beer festival on Sunday, remembering the friends I have lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm sure they'd want me to party.

If anyone has been to Cancun, do you have any recommendations? We plan on taking the Chichen Itza tour. If You're American, how did you manage your finances as in did you go with cash? Or did you use your credit/debit card?

Thanks
If you are doing Chizen itza, look into a private tour. don't do a tour bus! It is a 3+ hr drive there and it sucks! Then when you come back if you are dropped off last it is another 1-2 hrs for a total of 4-5 hrs! BUT the place is cool! Very much worth seeing. Try to get there early so you have time to walk around as we only saw maybe 1/2-3/4 of it!

Again, get someone to take you directly there, by car or van. I believe there might be tour guides for hire when you get there.

Re: money. Take what you think you need and then leave most in hotel safe and only take what you need for the day...all places will take your $ and exchange (at varying rates).
We saw these ads about Chichen Itza tour for $100 each.
That's the one we're thinking if doing.

Thanks for that heads up. We'll see if we can get a private tour at a decent price

For what it's worth, we were able to get a cabbie to take us to the downtown bazaar (or whatever you call it in Mexico) and drive us around town, waiting for us and then taking us back to the resort, for $20. But my wife is from Chihuahua . . .

20 bucks? That's very good.

I really want to see the ruins. Perhaps Friday

I was in Rome until yesterday and going to Tokyo on Tues or Wed, so I plan to RELAX at home.

Cancun: I enjoyed the XPlor resort/activities. It's one of the day trips offered.

Love the kids and all but would love the mrs and kids to vanish for a day, that being Sunday.

Would wake up and make a brekkie on the bbq, bacon and egg rolls with sweet bbq sauce. Add a serious coffee and bunker in to watch the Monaco GP.

Take a nap and refresh,maybe a shower, then fire up a fuck off steak and a salad. Clean up, open adult beverage and bunker in for the Indy 500.

Honestly, i need this sooooooooo bad. But it ain't gonna happen.

You could pay someone else to do all that stuff for you while you tend to the wife and kids.

Taking a short drive north to Dallas to hang out with the GF's parents (no, it's not like "oh crap, wasting this on the in-laws") and some friends we have up there. Just need to get out of town. Hopefully, I'll get some sleep in there, too. I need it. Should've done the spare hard-wire kit for the radar detecor to her car weeks ago when I thought of it, but instead stayed up WAY too damn late last night doing it. Not leaving till after 7:00 sometime, so it's gonna be a late night again. Whatever, I like driving...even her car.

TL&DR Translation: "oh crap, wasting this on the in-laws"


Haha... just kidding. Sounds fun. Enjoy.
