Resolved Question: What's Mexico (the Yucatan) like during Easter?

We would like to go to the Yucatan area (we're thinking the beaches around Merida) around April 8 - 22 (we're somewhat flexible). We want a quiet relaxing vacation and don't want to do the all-inclusives - we'd rather experience the real Mexico! This is really the only time we can get away but we've recently heard that the week before and the week after Easter are nuts ie the beaches are crowded and the hotels/restaurants are way more expensive. We're budget travelers and like I said we're looking for a more relaxing time. Can we get this during the weeks surrounding Easter or are we out of luck?! Thanks! more

Resolved Question: What type of animal is this?

I just go back from a vacation in Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula. There were these little brown animals running around on our resort property. They were the size of possums. Ate by holding food in their front paws. Looked like rodent family, but resort staff said they were members of the pig family. They called them something that started with the letter "C". Any help?I'm pretty sure, based on pictures I have, that it is a capybera. It is just smaller and with a smoother coat than some of the pictures I have seen. more

Resolved Question: Breastfeeding in Mexico?

This may be a silly question, but here it goes: I know that in the US there are laws that protect my right to breastfeed in public, but next month I will be going on vacation to Mexico for 8 days.

I will be in Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and various other places in the Yucatan Peninsula.Just plain Mexico Noah's Mommy, not New Mexico ;) more

Resolved Question: Where Can I Find the Best All Inclusive Deals For Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula Area)?

Resolved Question: Calderon vows to restore Mexico's appeal but will it work ?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070306/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_curing_migration MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Felipe Calderon won't be fighting for migration reform when he meets with President Bush next week. Instead, he will be be spelling out what he intends to do to keep Mexicans at home. ADVERTISEMENT Calderon, who was inaugurated on Dec. 1, has pledged to take 100 actions in his first 100 days in office, many of which represent the first steps toward "curing" Mexico's long tradition of illegal migration to the U.S. If implemented, his proposals could help transform Mexico from a labor-exporting country with relatively low growth, productivity and wages into an investment-rich, job-producing economy with better living standards for its 107 million people, nearly half of whom still live in poverty. "We are laying the foundation for a more just, healthy society with better and more equal opportunities for all," he said. Even a modicum of success for Calderon would improve on the record of his predecessor Vicente Fox, who failed to persuade the United States to accept Mexican guest workers and also could not put in place proposed reforms. Like Fox, Calderon faces powerful Mexican monopolies and oligopolies, union leaders and old-school politicians who have resisted changes to a system that concentrates power and wealth in a small number of hands and blocks attempts to improve competition, lower consumer prices and open the job market to more people. Unlike Fox, Calderon has shown he can rally lawmakers and others behind his plans: Congress unanimously passed his 2007 federal budget and he has united state governments behind a nationwide crackdown on drug trafficking. Among other things, he has proposed labor, energy and judicial reforms to encourage investment, promote competition and create jobs; improved tax collection to generate more revenue to fight poverty and improve education; universal health care and support for small and medium-size businesses. "Curing" migration will take many more than his six years in office, Calderon says. With this in mind, he set the goal of boosting Mexico's per-capita income from the equivalent of about $8,000 today to around $30,000 by 2030. "It won't be easy. It won't be fast, but yes, it is possible," Calderon said. Calderon and Bush will meet in Merida, the capital of Yucatan state, on March 13 and 14. Officials have not disclosed in detail the talks' agenda, but in addition to migration, the two are expected to discuss drugs and unresolved trade disputes over trucking rights and agricultural products. U.S.-bound migrants include not only poor and poorly educated unskilled laborers, but also middle-class entrepreneurs, college graduates and professionals. Many actually have jobs in Mexico, but the salaries don't match their talents and experience, and workplace discrimination is widespread. "I think he's on the right track, but migration is a long-term problem," said Jorge Chabat, an international affairs expert at Mexico City's Center for Economic Research and Instruction. Jose Antonio Perez, a 27-year-old college graduate from the oil-rich Gulf coast state of Veracruz, has a degree in mechanical engineering, but no real career prospects in Mexico. His jobs have included a five-month, unpaid engineering internship at a boat-repair company; a two-year job with a telephone company that offered no benefits and no chance of advancement; and his current teaching job, which requires little of his engineering skills and offers no insurance benefits, vacation, or job security. Perez works 12 hours a day Monday through Friday teaching high school mathematics and computers — a post that pays $12,000 a year. He supplements his income with odd carpentry and bricklaying jobs, or selling clothing and even cars. "I sleep four hours a night," he said. "I can't even think of having a family until I get something more secure." More than a year ago, when several of Perez's friends were working illegally in the United States, they earned as much as $26,300 a year pumping gas or working in carpentry. The friends have since returned, but their stories have inspired Perez. If his situation doesn't improve in six months, he plans to cross the border as well. "I could be a carpenter or a locksmith," he said. Calderon — who often notes that he has relatives in the United States, although he has not revealed their legal status — says he is well aware of the difficulties Mexicans face trying to live and work in their own country. He recently told the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico: "The ideal situation for Mexico is not to have Mexicans migrate." ____ On the Net: http://www.presidencia.gob.mx/en more

Resolved Question: Mexican Spices?

While vacationing in Mexico we were given a dish of chicken, black beans, rice and a flour tortilla shell. The chicken recipe is what I am interested in. I am not too sure what the spice was called, but it is red in colour and comes from a tree in the area, we were in the Yucatan. I believe it was either Annatto, or Achiote....I do not recall. I am hoping someone can help me figure out the recipe, as I would like to try this at home. The chicken seemed to be a 'pulled' or 'shredded' chicken recipe mixed in a broth with the spices. Any information would be great, thanks! more

Resolved Question: Advice on a Mexican vacation?

I am planning a trip to Mexico, most likely to the Yucatan or Riviera Maya area. I have been researching the beaches between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Has anyone stayed in this area....what do you think is the best place to go for a relaxing vacation, that still has some nightlife and activities. Tulum looks wonderful, but may be a bit too quiet for our liking. We definately dont want as much noise and activity as Cancun offers....somewhere in between would be great! Also...my husband is a very picky eater....will he be able to get some Americanized food anywhere??? What is the best time of year to go when it isnt too crowded? ThanksAlso wondering if there are any Mercados (Mexican open air markets) in that area...especially in Playa Del Carmen??? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: What is the average cost of a trip to the Yucatan?

We are going on a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico starting in mid-December, and wondering what the average on the ground cost per week ranges from. We are trying to get away from the vacation hot-spots (Cancun, Cozumel, etc...) and plan on making our trip as bare-bones financially as possible. If anyone has vacationed there in the last few years could give us a good ballpark figure (and any amazing destinations ^_^ ), that information would be invaluable! more
