Headin to Playa, looking for new Peeps!

Hi all!

Ive been checking out this board for a few days now and thought i would join in!

I am heading to playa sept 1 to sept 5. Going solo and would love to meet up with some new peeps. I do alot of solo traveling (europe, canada, costa), my friends are always lame and cant commit. Any tips on what is hapenning would be great.

I will be staying at the hotel quinto sol, its off 5th street. Ive never stayed there before but it looks nice online (everything is true on the internet!). Any info on the place?

Ive been to playa once before (2001) but stayed in an all inclusive with my gfriend at the time, never do that again. I have friends that own a house on and i try go to every year.

How has the weather been? looks like allot of rain on weather.com but you can never really trust that.

anyway cant wait to get down there, i am in serious need of a hammok and a few cold beers.

Later!

Tony

if you walk by the Beer Bucket on the 3rd or 4th and see some Texans w/ empty shot glasses piled in front of them, that will be us

Have a great time. I think there's always someone from this board in Playa at all times. Like the man said, go by Beer Bucket or Tequila Barrell and there's a Peep there somewhere. Check out the General Off-Topic forum for Peep Fest and other assorted "fests"

I'll be heading down there arriving 2 Sep and leaving on the 6th. I'll be staying at the Playa Maya and will be doing some diving in Cozumel during the day. Quinto Sol is very nice adn reasonably priced. It's not on the beach, but it's not too far of a walk. I like staying right smack on the beach...Anyway, let me know if you want to meet up for a beer. I like La Ranita on 10th near 5th Ave. It's a pretty good local hangout and the moderator of this board actually owns/runs the place. At least they did last time I checked.

I don't believe any of the moderators owns or has ever owned La Ranita.....Although they do hang out there.

He was being sarcastic, fun guy. If it does rain, it won't be for long. NEVER pay attention to weather.com, they are rarely accurate. You will have plently of fun in the sun, beach time and your atv tour will be great. No worries!
