In the spirit of the Mayans am going to sacrifice my up-coming 2 week time in late March in Jam to go somewhere i've never been that presented a good opportunity (ie good deals)..
I've never been to the Yucantan Penisula(and have zero interest in cancun) but Tulum is 2 hrs south and seems like a great place to discover-same Caribbean sea-lots of cool little hotels that go towards being "green" with solar and lim.electrical use at night (like 7-10pm) after that is all about candles and flashlights,lanterns..Seems to be lots of ex-pats there as well. and of course the multitude of Mayan ruins and Cenotes to explore..
Whats really cool is am going to take an excursion to Chichen Itza for the spring equinox(mar 21)..It was a huge deal to the Mayans and still a huge deal for us modern people(ie people come to witness the serpent down the stairs at equinox,from allover the world)
I;m sure it will be a zoo there-but according to the Mayan calendar its the last time I may witness it (LOL-so hoping their wrong)..I plan on visiting the many other ruins also ...
So here's a couple questions I'd like to throw out there:
1. Does anyone else have this quagmire: Their love and want to keep going back to Jam.VS. their wanderlust to see other parts of this world(I only have lim. time and funds (ie usually shoestring) but also "aint getting any younger" and want to see and exp. other cultures before my health fails and/or have not the funds...???
2. Has anyone else been to this area and what were your experiences???
Hope you all have a very Blessed 2012....
