Not having escaped the Canadian winter the previous year, I decided in December, 2002 that I had to have some palm trees to see me through another winter! Our 'last minute' trip was arranged using our airline travel points, so there was no point in trying to go the all-inclusive route. I got on the internet and managed to book a Condominium on the hotel strip at Cancun for our required dates. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable vacations that we have ever had - Cancun is great! Photo taken along the coast at the Xpu-Ha Palace Resort on the Mayan Riviera, south of Cozumel.
- Pros:Lots of activities, very 'civilized'
- Cons:A bit pricey but not out of this world
- In a nutshell:A great place to vacation - safe and a wide choice of attractions.

What a great time you had here! Enjoyed reading about your adventure's.
What a great winter escape. You did well against the pressure to "buy"; the rewards were many, and you took full advantage and had such great experiences. Nice Condo! I agree about the sand beaches at Cancun. Excellent work.
which hotel offered the trip?
Always enjoy reading your wonderful travels. Appreciate your information. The water looks so blue and the ruins look stunning. Thank you for the wonderful tour!
Great page of Cancun. Enjoyed reading your tips of the many attractions of ruins and the beach there. Cheers, SL:)
This seems like a fun place to be - and a lot for free Nice page
Great tips on Cancun and the Yucatan, Glenn! Cancun seemed a bit subdued at the time of my visit....it was still very much in the process of recovering. Oh yes, I'm watching the World Cup games religiously......I've got USA vs Czech Rep on right now! :-))
Well this looks the in place to go, and that sea looks so blue as well, the perfect combo for a superb holiday
Mexico and especially the pyramids there are still a dream destination of me. Thanks for your pages here, good as ever :-) LOL at your parked car!
