I honeymooned in Cancun. It was absolutely gorgeous, relatively inexpensive and the people there were almost universally pleasant.

I can think of worse places to be stranded after a hurricane. As long as there is still beer to be found, survival would be relatively easy. If you have to drink the water, you're doomed.

Cancun has changed. A lof of migrants have come pouring in to live on the outside and there is a class friction between the rich hotel sector and them.

These people were moved to shelters with overflowing toilets, urine of the floors, no ac, very little water and very little food.

Also the migrants took advantage of the storm and looted the whole place. Mexican authorities were also having tantrums when tourists tried to use the generators to get their cell phones recharged.


Granted these tourists should have known on Tuesday to get out of there. Many of them weren't paying attention and found out too late.


AP's whole goal is to find someone to blame Bush on any story. U.S arranged buses to move tourists to the other side of the coast immediately after the storm. U.S also has arranged for airlines to help u.s tourists out. Enough of the whining about the U.S.

Yup. Have to duct tape your mouth shut taking a shower; and brush your teeth with bottled water.

Silly me, I had a martini on the rocks. Talk about getting sick! Sweats, and "the runs." IBM wanted me to stay six more weeks... nope. I worked remotely from home.
