LOL – Is the rainy season really rainy? Wouldn’t it be called something else if it weren’t?

Some even think all the fresh rain water helps the municipal water be safer to drink (ie. the folks over at CostaRicaHQ.org).

Without the water, the flora and fauna would not be the same.

Thanks Gary and if you want to use my house, I’ll throw in all the answers you want for that princely rental sum of $275 a week. I’ll even leave an extra Modela in the fridge. Mr. Generous I am.

I saw that article and it was good fun. Here’s the link if anyone is interested: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/travel/09Frugal.html

I’m as much a travel snob as anyone, but there’s a time and a place for that kind of silliness, especially when there’s a kid or two in the equation. I’ve made my contribution to the tourist factories now and then.

Hi Tim,

Nice job on answering your chat’s participants questions. My wife and I are considering vacationing in the Yucatan this fall, and if so, will contact you regarding your beach house. We promise not to ask a gazillion questions regarding renting, other than ‘where are the keys?’

By the way, there was actually a decent article in the NYT Travel section from the Frugal Traveler on Cancun. If anything, the author shed more than a little light on the absurdity of the ‘Zona Hotelera.’
