HI from mexico beeyyyaaatttccchhheeesss! on a trip to Isla Mujeres... been here since the 18th and leave on the 26th. all i needed was handlebars and a helmet... not sure why, but i like this pic my sisters(2 left ones) on my dads side, and one of their friends and me... plenty of this... and this... followed by plenty of this... which apparently you dont have to wait a couple hours for, you can just order it right off the menu... i went exploring as usual. and mostly looked at cars and tried to find something besides scooters on this island! saw a few, but no good pics. one vstrom 1000 and a bmw gs. i really would like to go cruising in this. even though its rough. or this dont think there was ever a crew cab chevy LUV in the u.s. this old girl had a long trip just to be left rotting away in the trees... look at the plate... cant see it real well in that pic, mut its from minnesota... damn close to home. ofcourse theres snorkeling(and hopefully scubadiving before we leave) and AS IF i did NOT know this already, sea urchins are poisonous... got one in the back of the leg when i was flipping around my position to point out some other stuff to my sisters... i knew he was there but was a good few feet away until an extra big wave came through and moved me a few feet at the same time my legs were below me. just light your calf on fire. you'll get the idea... lol oh well. im glad it was me instead of one of them. i sure there would have been screaming and tears involved.. well... guess its off to the beach again... or something. |

That old Landy has come a long way from Solihull too. It's a series III lightweight. Designed to be air-dropped, they're lively little things & will go places that Kubel wagen can only dream of. |

Nice pics... BTW, you suck... My GF just got back from the Dominican Republic about a week ago- she got to see family, had to do some work to get hers and her dad's documents in order (nightmare), not as much of a pleasure trip as she'd have liked... she was thrilled to get back home. Looks like you're in full vacation mode, you bastige... scenery's a LOT better than BTF. And, that sea urchin looks about as dangerous as anything going there, unlike our shenanigans at BTF! Safe travels to you- and... MORE PICS! |

Rode in a school bus in Honduras that had New York plates. I don't know how the heck they get from point A to point B. |

That ranger was rusted when it left MN. We grow a lot of that around here. That's why I drive nice stuff in the summer and junk in the winter. Matt |

its fine here but really slow paced which im not used to on my vacations... I'm the same way - when I'm home, it's easy for me to lay around and do nothing all day, but when I'm somewhere new I want to go go go and see everything, go everywhere. I was in Mexico with my girl and family over the summer. It was my second time and both times had (limited) off-resort time. Not sure where exactly you are, but if you're anywhere near Mayan ruins I highly suggest you see them. |

Rice any chance your sisters friend likes Buells and lives near Chicago? Have a good time. Oh and enjoy the slow pace. Life moves too quick most of the time. |

guess i start my scuba certification in just a bit. hopefully my ears hold up. they do not like the pressure change. i think i need to work on my technique a lil more. video and confined dives to start today, then 4 deep water dives over the next couple days. |

>>>>hopefully my ears hold up. they do not like the pressure change. That is why unfortunately I will never Scuba Dive again. I did when i was younger and loved it. Now my sinuses suck and i will be in pain... Oh well |

well passed the course! got a few hundred pics to sort through from diving. my internet sucks here so i have to wait to load more when im home. but swam for awhile in a cloud of probably 1000+ jelly fish. that was awesome! completely surrounded and resting on me. around a 4ft dia sea turtle sleeping on the bottom. moray eel. was an amazing experiance. have a good few hours at about 40+ ft now |
