I am not like David — I sleep on vacation. I do, however, have lots of opinions.
Most Unexpected Hazard: Speed Bumps. Holy Jeebus, Mexico, what is this about? Speed bumps in town I get. But in the middle of a highway with a 110 km/hr speed limit? Tope is the Spanish word printed on the signs, but often, all you see are the upsidedown boobs. And then… screetching, skidding, badonkadonk, you-know-you-damaged-the-rental, heart all aflutter. Crap. I have no idea how we escaped with no (ok, very little) damage. The trusty Nissan Tilda was our friend.
Most Unexpected Fail: Internet Connectivity. Huh? The “Riviera Maya” is practically a giant beach mall, yet the internet runs at 2400 baud. Not a big deal unless you’re Creekmore World and have visions of posting kid reporter videos from the jungle. That’s not as crazy as it may sound. David was able to get a mobile facebook connection in the Sahara Desert. In some ways, the Yucatan felt more remote than we’ve ever been with the kids.
