Is Tom Ridge Changing Air Rules Because I Am Flying To Mexico Soon?

[matcom]

should be a GREAT flight :eyes:

[amazona]

1. he's changing the rules because Fox doesn't kiss his ***

Vincente Fox does not see eye to eye with the Whistleass on such issues as the evils of Cuba etc.

Where in Mexico are you going? Perhaps you can drive.

[matcom]

3. Yucatan

Playa

19 days but whose counting :D

[underpants]

6. You cheap out-of-season vacationer

This is not the first I have heard of this here on DU either.

[matcom]

7. nope. you hear it EVERY year!

nanny nanny booo booo :D

:bounce:

10. Maybe I'll see you in Tulum

Playa is getting too big; as Yogi said, "nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded."

[matcom]

11. technically we are outside of Playa

and only about 30 minutes from Tulum. quiet resort

[patcox2]

12. I love it down there.

You know the Corona beer commercial where the guy is sitting in an adirondack chair overlooking the most perfect beach you could imagine, skipping stones out into the water, then his cell phone rings, so he skips the cell phone into the water? That was filmed on a little beach just a few miles north of Tulum. There is a little bar there and nothing else, I plan to hunt it down, you have to find the right dirt road.

The poverty, though is difficult to take. I feel like I am rubbing their noses in it, parading through their world flaunting my wealth (and compared to the maya, we are all wealthy if we can afford to visit them). Makes me appreciate how enormously blessed we are.

13. that is why i tip handsomely

and ours is an all inclusive. tip everybody you come in contact with often. my motto

this will be our fourth year in a row

[radwriter0555]

14. Poverty? that's not poverty. that's a normal way of life down there

that has nothing to do with the USA.

It's quiet, simple, easy to get by, great weather. Everyone has enough to eat, a home.... you won't see any homeless or starving people. What you're seeing is a far simpler way of life unburdened by capitalist trappings. It's not poverty.

Playa del carmen is my retirement destination within the next 7 years.

Opening up a coffee and ice cream shop on the promenade.

2. my advice

DON'T take your inflatable GOPisEvil doll! You'll get the full cavity search for that alone! :o

[matcom]

4. ooooooooo mmmmmmmmm "cavity searching"

:D

[Zomby Woof]

9. it is a cool doll though!

Comes with a stained hat and a putter!

[HEyHEY]

5. Worried about a "No dweebs" law?

just kiddin ;-)

[Dr. Wu]

8. Are you carrying an almanac?

[DS1]

15. Remember that different cultures have different false idols

SO you might want to cover up that tattoo of GOPisEvil's Yak lined up in your crosshairs..
