1 I'm Bill
2 Live in Western Massachusetts. Rural college town great place to live about 8 months of the year.
3 I've been to Mexico a lot but not much recently. I did a couple of trips in the mid 80s to Yucatan including Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Akumal, Coba, Tulum, Progresso and Merida . Closest I've been since is Cosamel a couple of years ago. February 19 we have a week in Akumal and 4 days in Merida with my wife and 15 year old daughter. I'm wondering how much the place has changed in the last 20 years.
4 The reason I think the area is great is because you get the combination of great snorkeling, beaches, jungle and ruins and if you get to Merida a great Mexican City. I'm also very interested in Fishing on my own or with locals in their pangas.
5 I love a real Margaritas not the frozen ice stuff but a strong one made with real limes, contreau, good tequila and served up like a martini.

Hi. I'm Jim from La Crosse, WI. Before the new list serve was set up, I communicated under the name Jim from Wisc. When I came back on after the change, I decided it sounded to derivative of Craig from Wisc., so I came up with something different.
My wife and I have traveled to Mexico 5 times. I'm 52, she is not. Once to Puerto Vallarta (which we enjoyed) and 4 times to the Roo. We never returned to PV or anywhere else on the Pacific Coast of Mexico because the beaches in the Roo are so white and stay cool (because made of ground coral) unlike the sand beaches on the Pacific, and because water cleanliness and visibility is so much better for snorkeling.
On our trips to the Roo, we stayed in Playa twice and in Akumal twice, although we spent time in Akumal when we stayed in Playa too. Our favorite activities are snorkeling, being out of the cold and snow doing whatever else we do, and exploring new places - restaurants, beaches, etc. We return in 11 days, 18 hours (using the countdown timer I got from reading on this list serve.

jimbo = Jim
Small town in south-central Wisconsin
Been to Cozumel twice, Playa del Carmen twice, and second stay at Akumal commences in 17 days and approximately 21 hours.
Snorkeling
It's a tie between a real margarita made with good tequila and fresh lime juice, a mojito, an anejo rum neat, an anejo tequila neat, El Presidente in a snifter, and on and on. It all tastes better on vacation.

I used to live on Park Ave in Ra cha cha. I worked for an ad agency that worked on... you guessed it Kodak and bausch and lomb business. I loved living here but this was in the early 80's.
