This would be our second day without a port. Tomorrow would be our last full day of the cruise so we knew the end was in sight. But, it wasn’t here yet, so we still had sun to soak up and things to do. After we slept in, of course. We missed our normal breakfast, but nobody complained. Finding fo…

Bienviendo to the home of sombreros, tequila, and bull fighting...or is it?  Mexico is full of stereotypes and I saw none of them first hand.  The only sombreros I saw were on the heads of frat boys and a group of Marines who just got back from Iraq.  I saw no matadors stroll…

I was surfing the web one day and saw a $158 return fare on Continental from Indianapolis to Cancun. Come again?   $158??   My "free" ticket to Cancun would be $60 because of taxes.   You mean to tell me that for $98 more I can fly to Cancun confirmed and not deal wit…

Going out at night in Cozumel is low key.  Don't get me wrong - low key is not boring.  It's just not not the same energy that New York brings to your "night out on the town".  And isn't everything fun when you're on a vacation?  Yes.  And then double that when you have som…

Cozumel is where I became a certified diver.  Although it took away from the vacation a little, since I was in a classrom setting for all of one day.  I did not get to see the sites everyone else in my group got to enjoy that day.  However it was not a total loss, and when it came to…

The first thing I see when I get off the cruise ship at Cozumel is not exotic flora nor charming landscape. It is a construction site for a concrete strip mall that blocks the view of the island. I guess this is so that people in the future can hop off the ship, grab a flame-broiled Whopper from Bu…

El Cedral is on Cozumel, 8 miles south of San Miguel. Turn at Km 17.5 off the main island road, then drive 3 km (2 mi) inland to the site. COST: Free. Dawn-dusk. El Cedral is believed to be an important ceremonial site. It is the most accessible of Cozumel's ruins. The ancient structure is the size…

     Today was a day that we were so excited about; the day we got to swim with the dolphins. Of course in true K&S fashion that excitement was also tempered with apprehension for 2 reasons. First, Kerry can't swim and I have not been a fan of my feet dangling in the water s…

Cozumel is one of my favorite places.  Why - I just do not know.  On our very first cruise, Bill and I enjoyed our day in Coz, and had hoped to repeat memories.  What we didn't think about was the after effects of the hurricane in 2005.  Our Mariner of the Seas Thanksgiving crui…

I decided that the best way to finish off 2007 was to take a great holiday just before Christmas. So my housemate and I headed over to the States. We had a couple of days in snowy and cold New York, followed by Miami, Tampa and then a cruise around the Caribbean. And here are the pictures...

We arrived at Cozumel at 0800, we had made arrangements for an off shore excursion of clear bottom kayaking and unlimited snorkeling.  We really had our hearts set on some scubadiving though, but we could not set 2 excursions thru the boat at once.  We left hoping that once there if time …
