Barceló is the resort that my family and I stayed at when we were in Mexico. It is about 30 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and is a hour south of Cancun. It is a huge resort with 4 different classes of hotel options. We stayed at the Maya Beach section that we got through Apple Vacations in Cleveland. It was the best section in my opinion. The beach was nicer, the bartenders were friendly, and the drinks were better. It was a little overcast early in the day This is the Palace Hotel section of the resort. It is huge and if your not careful you could get lost. lol

My friend and I parked at Puritas today and took the train around the city and she commented on how nice it was to not have to drive around the city, deal with traffic, unfamiliar roads, finding parking, etc. Overall, we had a great experience using the trains, no ticket problems. Also, the RTA employees were awesome. Just thought you all would like to know.

I love Current, especially their vanguard pods. Current does a better job at presenting global issues/views than anything else on cable. I highly recommend checking it out on tv or the internet.

Thanks, I am glad that you all liked it.

^My brother wanted me to take a picture of the Iguana (at least that's what I think it is). I didn't realize that I got those people into the picture until after I took it. :-D

Thanks, the rooms (that are open to the public) are really nice. I would have taken pictures, but they closed at five. If any of you are ever in/around Mansfield I suggest checking Kingwood out.

Wow, great job!! When I was younger I told my parents that I was going to buy and fix up that house on S. Main (the one pictured for Mansfield).

^^I think that it will just remain a vacant lot. ^I never got to see the school in person :cry:

For info on Tulum you can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulum An overview of the site

I wish I could have spent more time at Playa del Carmen, but we only went there for one night (we walked around and then went to Señor Frogs). Yes, I went to Tulum and loved it. I am about to post those pictures soon.

About two weeks ago I was in Mexico for vacation and we visited the city of Playa del Carmen in the Rivera Maya. Playa del Carmen was originally a fishing town, but with it's ferry service to Cozumel, the city has seen a lot of development from increased tourism (for more info go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playa_del_Carmen).

Yes, but I didn't think that anyone else did. Now I don't feel so alone in my immaturity. :-D Good job MayDay, looks like you had fun.

I want to go to Pittsburgh now. Great pics.

Charming downtown, great pics.

Lived in the Mansfield area my whole life, but moving up to Kent State in August.
