Getting ready to experience Playa

superjustin · 08-18-2012

My wife, infant daughter (she'll be about 8 months old when we arrive) and I are going be in Playa for at least a month starting Jan 2. We just booked an apartment through a local agency there and I've got my fingers crossed that everything's on the up and up.

Our trip will be at least a month, and we'll stay as long as we love it. Can't wait, it should be amazing. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself as I look forward to spending more time on this site as we get things arranged.

Hi wow a trip for one month to Playa Del Carmen!!!! We're looking forward to another to Playa Del Carmen in February ( out travels to PDC , all begun in 2003 -- our daughter's wedding-- kid's were married at XCARET) Dawn & Brad are renewing their vows, shall family & friends attending . There loads of web-site to find required interests. Have done so many things on different trips, favor is XCARET, did a full day trip & attended the dinner show ( great learning experience about the Mayan culture) Take care & have a great day.

Welcome! You have come to right place for research and to make friends.

We'll be there the middle week of January. We'll keep an eye open for you! Watch the peep meet threads for activities during the month to meet people.

Awesome, sounds great! My wife actually has a long time friend who lives there in Playa most of the year, and we FINALLY got ahold of him and it turns out that when he first went there, he stayed in the exact same apartment building that we found to stay in for our first month. Crazy!

We're super excited and can't wait to go.

Also, it seems like the people on this forum are pretty much 50:50 Canadian:Texan. We're going there from Austin and my dad is Canadian, so I'm sure we'll fit right in!

You so right - about the Texan/Canadian thing - I didn't even look at your location first to see that. We rent our condo out when we aren't there, and it seems to go about half of the time to Canadians - we love them! But you will hear accents and languages from all over the world while you are there - lots of Italians, too. Just one of the many things we love about our second home town.

Crazy about your friend's coincidence - maybe you will end up just like him and live there, too! Have fun planning!

Awesome! My wife is Russian, and so we plan on going to Russia for the summer, but I could very much see us doing a few rotation between Austin, Playa, and Russia... Should be a blast!

Well the passport for our daughter got delayed so we weren't able to make our flight yesterday but we'll be in Playa tomorrow! Right now I'm working on trying to find a good shuttle service to get us from CUN. We have a lot of luggage as we're bringing a big stroller for my daughter and a electric mobility scooter thing for my MiL, so that will necessitate some heavy hauling...

Have you looked into the service offered here?
Click in the tab at the top of this page called "Trip Planning", then top left there is a link for private transfers.
