Hi Buddies,
We definitely have enough interest in Cancun. Here is some more info.
We need to set a date.
Travel to Cancun requires identification. If you do not have a passport, you can find your nearest application site here Passport locator (http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/default.asp)
If you do not want to get a passport, you can travel to Mexico with two forms of identification. One must be a certified copy of your birth certificate. This means it must have the raised emblem. (You cannot use a photocopy)
To get a copy of your birth certificate, contact the department of vital statistics in the county of birth. The fee for this is usually less than $10. You will need this if you apply for a passport.
You will also need a photo I.D. if you don't have a passport. A drivers license will work.
It can take as long as 8-10 weeks to get this info, so don't wait till the last minute. It is a must, they will not let you into Mexico without it.
All airlines are starting to put restrictions on luggage. You will be allowed 2 checked bags per person and one carry-on in addition to a purse or laptop. Checked bags have a weight limit of 70 lbs. for domestic travel and 100 lbs. for international travel. The penalties for overweight graduate by the number of pounds. I had to pay $25.00 for 15 lbs. overweight when I went to Chicago.
Here are a few things to bring:
1. shorts
2. tops
3. swimsuit
4. 1 pair of slacks or a dress
5. walking shoes and socks
6. sandals
7. suncreen (I go to a tanning bed 2 months before we go and still use sunscreen) the sun in Mexico is not like the U.S. because it is closer to the equator.
The resort furnishes beach towels.
The trip package will include air,hotel, all food and drinks (including alcohol), transfers to and from the airport, and taxes.
The only thing you will need money for is souveniors, and excursions.
The trip will cost between $500-$800 depending on if we go for 3 night or 4 night. We will need to pay a deposit when it is booked and the balance will have to be paid 6 weeks before we leave.
If you are taking a spouse and children, I will need to know this for pricing. Children under 12 stay and eat at reduced rates.
I hope we can get a good turn-out for this trip. I'm really excited about it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
