how many snorkels do you have tully? |
I'd be thrilled to host a TFP gathering. In fact anyone interested in popping in is welcome anytime, just give me a heads up. I do travel some.
I have room for about eight (give or take depending on couples needing privacy.) I have a good sized completely private pool, pretty much a private beach, volley ball net can be set-up, BBQ grill etc... If more then eight are interested or people just prefer not staying here the guy that owns my house also owns a hotel. We could make a good deal with him. All his rooms are suites with kitchens, some are two bedrooms. I think he gets about $35 a night, we could do better.
Snorkeling isn't a really a big thing here as it's all sand and no reef. Not a lot to see. For the record I own one snorkel that hasn't been used, other then in class, in about 12yrs. There are many things in this area worth seeing though. Merida is an awesome city. It's very old and colonial, Very laid back. There's probably 30-40 ruin sites within an hour drive. Cenotes are really cool. Several caves. The list is long. I've been here two years this month and I could see something new everyday for the next two years and still not see everything.
But this is real Mexico, if people were interested in Cancun I know a couple condos that sleep 6-8 easily and if split up cost wise would be much cheaper then hotel rooms. they have kitchens and laundry which is always nice. Plus they overlook the Caribbean which is also a plus. In Cancun you'll want that snorkel. Plus for anyone who dives I know where to go for near empty boats and much cheaper dives.
So I'm in on the cruise, no doubt. Just tell me when and where. But I'm also totally into having people visit here.
