Arriving to the Cancun Airport – What to expect

November 30, 2012 by

When I arrived to Cancun Airport I took this video so you can see exactly what it looks like. I could only start filming after customs and immigration. The video starts right after customs. Please excuse the loud background noise.

This is at Terminal 2. Cancun International Airport (CUN) has 3 terminals. Terminal 1 is the FBO / charter terminal. Here are the airlines that use Terminal 2 and Terminal 3:

November 28 – weather

November 29, 2012 by

It rained again last night, but a light and gentle shower. By 7AM is was cool and clear, a lovely 75F. I walked my dogs with in a t-shirt and shorts and was very comfortable.

By noon it was 81F and a little cloudy. Still shorts and t-shirt weather. The ocean is warm, about 82F throughout the month of November. Check out MapChick’s excellent graphs for water temps.

At 8:30 PM it is 66F and you could use a little warmer clothing, like longer sleeves or capri pants. It is still very calm and nice. They are calling for a 30% chance of rain, but nothing yet.

Tonight is the full moon.

Animal Shelter in Cancun

November 28, 2012 by

There are several really great organizations in Cancun to help with the large population of stray cats and dogs. The problem is that all of these shelters are relying on outside donations to keep their doors open. Cancun, as far as I know, does not have a city, state, or federally funded program at all.

A very good friend of ours had a large yard and started taking in street dogs and cats. Before he knew it he had 20 dogs and his yard was full, not to mention his neighbors did not like it one bit. So he moved out of Cancun about 25 kilometers to a place with LOTS of land. Now his animal shelter Tierra de Animales is home to over 200 dogs and [Read more…]

Tejuino drink

November 26, 2012 by

We traveled north on Kabah Ave from Cancun centro to find a cart making fresh Tejuino. This drink is made with fermented corn and shaved ice with lime juice. Don’t be scared, it is surprisingly delicious!

Tejuino is originally from the state of Jalisco, Mexico. It is made from corn dough. This dough is mixed with water and brown sugar, then boiled. It is lightly fermented, then mixed with a little salt and lime sherbet or shaved ice with lime.

Golden Parnassus – Day Pass

November 24, 2012 by

We spent the day at our favorite Adult Only All Inclusive resort, the Golden Parnassus. Since we live in Cancun we try to do a ‘stay-cation’ as often as we can afford it. We have 3 doggies at home, so a day pass works well for us.

Breakfast is a treat. The Golden Parnassus has an omelette grill to get your eggs cooked anyway you like. Lots of fresh fruit and all the usual American breakfast foods are on the buffet.

Next we head out to the pool to soak up the warm Cancun sun. The hotel is perfect for us because they do play some music, but not loud and they do have some entertainment, but not crazy. Just very relaxing. We order a couple of drinks before we find the perfect one. Miami Vice, piña colada, sex on the beach…nah, too sweet. We switched to beer by afternoon.

Now it’s time for lunch. [Read more…]
