Leaving NOW
Apr 22nd, 2009 at 7:55 am

We’re waiting in the lobby of the hotel because our bus to Cancún will be here in just a few minutes. There also happens to be a WiFi connection here.

It’s been a great trip, but I can’t wait to get home.

Last Day in Mexico!
Apr 21st, 2009 at 9:30 am

Today is our last full day here, so we basically have a free day here in Playa Del Carmen to relax, shop, relax, swim, and relax.

As for tomorrow, we’ll be heading off for Cancún, where we’ll fly out and return to the United States, specifically Houston, before returning to Maine late at night. It should be easier for us to return now that Jeremy’s stolen passport showed up at the embassy.

Playa Del Carmen is Amazing
Apr 19th, 2009 at 9:39 pm

We found a great place to spend the three-day finale of our trip. The beach looks like a giant post card, the food isn’t bad, and there is semi-working WiFi in the lobby of the hotel.

Unfortunately, Jeremy Daigle’s bag got stolen on the beach, containing his passport. He is with Mrs. Towns and our tour guide at the police station now, so hopefully we won’t have to sneak him across the border.

Tomorrow, we’ll be traveling more to go snorkeling, after which we’ll go clubbing here in Playa. After that, we’ll have a free day to relax after that late night.

Nice Hotel in Valladolid
Apr 18th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

Sitting here in our third hotel (now in Valladolid), and it’s our first hotel to have legitimate wireless internet. Hopefully our hotel in Playa Del Carmen has it as well. We’ll see.

Anyway, we just finished our trip from Mérida, during which we took a detour to see a huge pyramid at Chichen Itza and to swim in an underground cave river. Pictures will be posted as soon as I get home.

I’m just happy I have reliable internet again. Off to check email!

I Got Sacrificed!
Apr 17th, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Our hotel here also has WiFi, so I have another update. After we climbed to the top of a Mayan pyramid, where I promtly updated my Facebook status with my cheap cell phone, I got sacrificed by Mrs. Towns and another person on the trip. I’ll post pictures as soon as I get home.

I also got bit by a few black flies. We’ll see how that turns out.

I Found WiFi!
Apr 17th, 2009 at 10:25 am

As I was eating pineapple ice cream at a little shop here in Mérida, I found out that this place has free wireless Internet! It was nice to check my email and everything.

In a couple minutes, we’ll be heading off to climb some pyramids, so it should be fun.

Where’s the paella?
Apr 12th, 2009 at 3:38 pm

In just a couple days, I’ll be heading off to Mexico for a week of relaxation and exploration. Of course, I can smell an internet connection from a mile away, and I’ve been told that there will be internet access at all of our hotels during out stay. I’m going to try to post updates using my tiny iPod touch throughout the trip.

Also, you can see my general schedule for the week on the sidebar to the left. This is just so that you can be even more jealous!
