Mar. 17th. / 07, Cempoala: My gal Maria and I set off this past Sat. A.M. to revisit some parts of Veracruz that we haven't been to for awhile.. First we packed a couple small overnight bags, then hailed a taxi (30 pesos) to travel from our home in Boca del Rio to the second class side of the bus terminal in central Veracruz...

NEW DELHI: The world's fight against malaria, which infects 300 million people and kills 2.5 million annually, may be boosted by a controversial new weapon — a genetically-modified mosquito that can't spread malaria.

Scientists from the Malaria Research Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, US, have successfully developed the world's first genetically engineered, malaria-resistant mosquito that is more dominant than its naturally-born wild counterparts.

Hi,

I got my replacement passport today. I'm flying out the morning after next at 7AM.

Can I (or should I) get a replacement card at the airport?

How much of a hassle is this and will I be able to get a replacement card at such an early hour?

Thanks for your advice.

Hello,

As the title implies we are are in need for some advice on where to go next. We are going to be on the road for three months and our last stop is Costa Rica (flight home). We (couple 23yr old) want to "do" a bit more of Mexico, and then head down to Belize. Are there any recommended places on the road from Isla Mujeres down to Belize? Looking for beaches, good food, nice hotels but not a party scene.

Advice would be appriciated.

Other suggestions for the rest of our trip is also welcoem…

Hi. During semana santa I'm thinking of driving from Huatulco to San Cristobal. I've only driven as far as Juchitan, so I don't know what the road conditions are like further to the east.

Can anyone tell me what that section of road is like, or point me at a web-site that does?

Thanks....

We took the night bus from Cd. Acuna, Coah. to Monterrey, but ended up switching tickets in Monclova for a bus that goes directly to the airport. Went to all the airline counters looking for the next flight to Veracruz and Mexicana had Mont--Mexico--Veracruz for 84 dollars!!

In Veracruz we had the best pescado relleno we had ever had, followed by serious bed rage with all the noise in and around Hotel Amparo so we just up and left for San Andres Tuxtla which is 10x more quiet and 100x more…

I need some help!

My flight from Cancun Airport is at 7:30 am (with Amercian Airlines) on April 21 and I will be in Tulum until then. I know I can take a bus to Playa del Carmen and then a direct shuttle to the aiport (instead of another bus to the cancun bus station and then a taxi to the airport) but can anyone tell me where I can get info on the shuttle times? I know I can find bus times at www.ticketbus.com.mx but what about the shuttle?
I'd rather stay my last night in tulum than Cancun!!
…

thanks for your ideas,

Hi Guys,

My brother and I plan on going to Playa del Carmen in November. We plan on doing some golfing as well as some site seeing. It will be my second time there...what a great destination! The beach, the choice of restaurants and the international crowd. Are there any ladies out there that would like to meet up with us(you don't have to be golfers) and see what transpires? We are both unemcumbered and love to laugh and are very easy going. We will get a couple of rooms at one of the hotels…

hello,

My brother and I will be in Playa del Carmen in Novemeber for 4 nights. We would like to golf at three or four courses in the area. Can anyone recommend as to where we should play. I do know though, we would like to take the ferry boat across and play at the Cozumel course. Thanks, Jimmy
