Previous to the liquids/gels restriction, you would have no problem carrying the lobsters on board, but with the heightened security measures, you may have a problem. If not the lobsters themselves, the ice or other substances you use to keep them cool may be prohibited.

If you purchase your lobsters directly from a wholesaler on the dock (there are locations in Nova Scotia which are educated in shipping fresh Lobsters) they will be well versed in the airline security procedures. Likely, the lobsters will be packaged and properly labeled so that you can add them to your checked luggage, or check the box on its own. I would also check directly with the airline you are using.

Rob I think you will have a huge problem with bringing lobsters into Mexico especially when arriving into Cancun. With lobster being the sole income of Punta Allen-not sure it would be allowed but also that excuse may be given so someone has a lobster dinner. Good luck! I am sure Allan can get that info for you.

They were scheduled to open 10th yesterday.
Once finished (to 8th) the contractor is being fired.
A new contractor will be hired to finish the project to 12th.
They are looking at the logistics from 12th to Constituyentes.
My guess is that work will begin in November and carry on through April of next year.
Ya really think they learned anything from this fiasco?

the contrator should have been fired after the first 2 months,,,,i think that will happen as well, they will wait till the town is full before they start the next section,,,if they start it at all...too bad they couldnt have all worked together with some equipment,,,that job should have taken a couple weeks,,,but when you start handing out shovels while backhoes set on the street,,,ya know there is major problems...

Hard to Keep up with the progress on 10th. It is like someone laid the law down. Construction is now 24/7 and the street is getting real close to being done. I see the street lights are going on the stands. But today street decorating. VERY LABOR INTENSIVE.
