Well hey there, old folks! What's been happening? I heard there was a swim-with-the-dolphins thing right there in the middle of Akumal Bay now. Apparently they bring these huge buses down from Cancun. All the local guides fight over who gets to unload the dolphins and carry them in large groups into the bay. I'll bet the orange vests look great! Someone should make sure they swim in a counter-clockwise fashion outside the black lines so as to not disturb the turtles.

It sounds like just about everybody in Akumal is doing just about everything they can think of to alienate regular vacationers.

CallMeFrank I think the snow guy was Fulleraoo Really Frank?? LOL I think that IS what I said!! BUT, he was not only the snow snorkeler! He also took people on fishing trips in Mexico, mostly around Puerto Vallarta, I think. I need to go back and check my PMs that I saved to my computer, because I was actually in contact with him when a friend of mine was looking for a fishing guide in that area.

I remember fullerzoo as the snow snorkeler......didn't he also have posts as the bath tub snorkeler? Who had the "beer snorkel"? Billiam's tales were put together in a binder and was sent around to different LG'ers. I read that and passed it on. That was a few years ago. Wonder who has that now?

Yes Fullerzoo did both the snow and bathtub snorkeling series. There was no beer snorkel that I know of, but perhaps you're thinking of Whale's "Snorquilla"!! That was a hoot!! No wonder the chicks always dug Whale!! lol

Yes Beachey, that was the photo I was thinking of. I didn't remember that it was Whale. I noticed that they have been on a three month tour of Mexico on another post today. Perhaps he wore that while driving down there.

Holy moly, I can't believe I've been away from here for so long . Hope everyone has been doing well. After a bad run of medical troubles and more craziness in life than I could even begin to list, we're looking to FINALLY dust off the locogringo cooler and get in a real vacation this fall. Time to get drinks in hand, toes in sand and the Yucatan sure has been calling. My wife is having some reservations about going with some of the more recent 'incidents' in the news, but we've always taken these things with a grain of salt, proceed with caution and situational awareness. Heck, I live in St.Louis, the rest of the world thinks it's a warzone here. :-o Going to stick with the all inclusive thing, and would prefer to be in/near Akumal. we've always done Gran Bahia in the past, but after almost 8 years and with most of the staff we loved so much having left, seeing so many changes in the way they book now, I'm curious if anyone here has been there recently and your thoughts/experience, and definitely exploring other options. Any suggestions would be great. Glad to be back, I'll try not to be such a stranger. Thanks, Bob
 This is no longer a vacation.....it's a quest, a quest for FUN!!!
