Made it to Tulum

Well we made it safe and sound to Tulum. Only the usual rental car fiasco. For those not familiar with the usual rental car scenario, it goes something like this. You rent a specific car, you get there and that specific car is not available, but they have other cars and try to "upgrade you". Unfortunately we are picky because we need a specific size and height of car to carry our stuff with enough clearance to go over the bad roads. Anyway, we are returning to Cancun on Saturday to get a bigger one...and cross our fingers it is there.

That aside, Posada Luna del Sur (the hotel) was great. And we had our celebratory arrival dinner at a restaurant in Tulum.

Now the real work starts of cleaning up our room at Fernando's for the duration of our stay. And the adventure today is to buy a mattress in Playa del Carmen and other stuff we need....so no diving today.

Karen - Too bad about the car issues. I'm not too worried about them running out of Atos's...I don't think that many other people want them. My big concern is that they are no longer available with AC. Oh well, I'll just roll down the windows and go real fast.

Glad to hear you liked the hotel. Can you give me directions? I asked the owners a couple times, but they never got back to me on that one.

I'm guessing that by now John has thrown everyone's junk (including mine) out in Fernando's yard. If you can, please drag my scooter parts out of the weather. Everything else will be fine.

We picked your sweatshirt up at the Q the other night. I've had to hide it so Shirley doesn't grow too fond of it.

Three weeks from now I'll be in the air on my way down. My gear has been packed for several weeks. In fact, I would have had my clothes packed if Shirley hadn't stopped me.

That's it for now. Let me know how the diving is - Kim
