As expected this trip has a more raw feel than our luxurious stay in Cancun – the hotel has some sort of water main problem so their sinks and shower run dry.  The front desk handed us a large bottled water when we checked in.  We saved our one toilet flush until this morning.

The flight and ride over were uneventful (to me anyway, since I arrived at the same time of night and took the same taxi ride as a year ago).  I was instantly familiar once we got into downtown, passing landmarks I recognized – this hotel is about 8 blocks from the one I stayed at last time.   That one was rated four stars in the guidebook I found on the nightstand, this one is unrated.  We don’t mind.  Plus, this one has free wireless.

We missed the trip kickoff meeting yesterday waiting in the armpit of Florida, so we’re supposed to meet with the guide right now to give him our info.  The group is 11 I think – 2 dudes (including me) and 9 ladies.  Awwwwwwww yeah.
