Hey Rob! yes, the wife and her sister will be with me the whole time. So it looks like bachelor time will be limited. The wife didn't enjoy being home in the freezing cold while me and you and her sister occupied beach chairs in Playa for a month without her. The rest of the group hasn't concluded anything so there status is on hold. The weather here has been cool for the season. What happened to Global Warming? We now have a little rain but could use some more and some heat.
Today 1cdn = 12.175 pesos . At that exchange we should be able to buy beer at less than $.75 per beer cdn. Life is good.

Is that not totally GREAT??? Hope it stays that way for another month at least!


I still remember our first trip to Mexico, I think the exchange was something like 1 CDN = 7 or 8 pesos!

We booked flights a month ago and arrive Dec 30. We will be in Playa to March 1 then we are headed out on a one month road trip into Belize.
I see today the CDN dollar will buy 12 pesos. Maybe we should be buying pesos?
Murray...... Belize, right on that should be a really neet road trip. I've read Michele's Belize reports......should be fun

Hola Marj,
I expect Belize will be an adventure. Very rough plans right now but Placentia and Punta Gorda will be on the to do list. The girls want to plan everything down to the day but I'm wanting to leave the agenda open and wing it. While in Playa we will be fine tuning the plan with input from anyone who has been there. I did have a few questions for Michele last year but mostly about access to ATM's and the ease of finding one. Finding the ATM is the most important part.
I see you have your countdown ticking. I need to get mine started but with close to 170 days to go it is too soon.

What day off? When in Playa I work every day on the tan and keeping track of the waves. There is no time for wandering. But I am certain you can convince the better half to go on a day trip to Isla. I might even take a day off if the weather is nice.
We need to plan a rainy day trip to the Casino. I have started to acquire a horse race gambling addiction.
