Mexico Trip

For those that are wondering, there really is a Mexico trip in the offing.  Currently, I am thinking of March 2nd to March 11th.  That is still a bit fluid depending on airline deals, hotels, in-country travel, and a myriad of other stuff I am trying to tie down.  I'm assuming 6 people for the sake of pricing more or less will change the amounts shown here. Tour/class fee is being developed along with the rest of the itinerary.


Here's a skeletal view of what is being planned (much more in planning).

Air flights ± $355 round trip/taxes and fees included

• One free checked bag and the normal carry on stuff
• Leaves 5:19 am from Cedar Rapids (CID)
• Arrives 1:35 pm in Cancun (CUN)
• Don't even think about this without a valid passport

Ground transportation to first hotel $35 for the whole group

First Hotel  Imperial Las Perlas Cancun $50 per night Double Occupancy

• 2, 3, 4,  5th or 6th check out and go to Isla Mujeres
• This first hotel is a mid-level hotel it has:
  

1.     on the beach
2.     all meals and snack included
3.     Large rooms with goofy Mexican TV and Fridge
   
4.     all the beverage you can deal with
5.     Cool palapa restaurant that is over the water
6.     Cool beach bar
7.     Non motorized water sports (sea kayaking sailing, etc.)
8.     Pool
9.    White sand beach
10.    Gift shop

• 5th or 6th ferry to Isla Mujeres $4:00
  
• check in at Na Balam Suites on the beach 3 nights $70 double occupancy (this one is not all inclusive)
  
• days on the beach priceless
• golf cart $15 bucks a day shared
• Downtown Isla at night $ 25-30 great food great street theater
• Breakfast $5
• Lunch whatever
• Snorkeling  emailing Capt'n Tony for current prices  I seem to recall it was about $30 and included an awesome lunch at the south end of the island.
