Hey y'all.
I've been lurking around these boards for about a month, and just now decided to create an account! Let me just say that both this forum and website are definitely the most informative place online concerning PDC. Wonderful work Anna and James!
My parents, two of their friends, and myself will be leaving for Playa this Tuesday, Nov. 25th for Thanksgiving. The other couple has been to Playa a few times before and recommended it to us, well actually just my parents. They told me over the summer that they were going to Mexico, and I threatened to have the party of year if I wasn't coming along (all in jest, I promise :wink: ) Well, I guess they thought I wasn't joking (okay, maybe I wasn't heh) and they bought me a ticket as well. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Needless to say, we're all very excited about our upcoming trip! I'm going to enjoy the break from school, I know this vacation is long overdue for my mom. The only thing I'm worried about is being an extra-crispy gringo upon my return, as I seem to burn more often than tan. <shrugs> That's nothing a massive bottle of SPF 400 couldn't fix. I guess I don't want to be whiter than the sand, or as red as the sunset.
Anyhow, I've talked my parents into exploring the Mayan Ruins (not sure which ones yet!) and I tried to explain the Playa Deal Card to them, but they didn't quite grasp it..lol. We'll be staying at the Playa Maya for a week, and from the reviews I've read here it is quite the place.
Just wanted to introduce myself (Nick) and say thank you for having such an informative site! I'm planning on taking a journal (now whether I write in it or not, we'll see) and my camera so be prepared for a trip report when we return. :P
