I’m planning to go to Club Med in Cancun, Mexico this fall.  
I’ll appreciate any advice that you can give me. This is my first trip to Mexico. I’m interested in Myan sites. Is it advisable to venture in to Guatamala to se Takal? I’ll certainly go to Chichen Itza.  
Thanks,Carl

Carl, I’ve never been to Cancun, but I just wanted to say ¡Ola! Long time no see! Are you going by train?

Don’t forget to take your Speedos with you. The water is fine down in Mexico.

A friend of mine went there a couple years ago. She said that it was nice, but that it was too much like a little hunk of the US plopped down in Mexico. Kinda like going to a Chevy’s (a yuppy Mexican restaurant).  
I’d be interested in your opinion, if you do go.  
Enjoy your trip.  
Peace,

I’m supposed to go to Ixtapa at the end of Jan. I’m pretty excited.

I’ve heard Cancun is a big party.
