No, just a normal moron. Occidental was not one of the Cozumel All
Inclusives at which I stayed. I drove by it and read the trip report
that started this thread, and that's about it.

No, you can only be a "normal deviate", a real oxymoron.

The recent reunion of Cream was classic.

Again, another one of the many reasons why I would never stay at an all
inclusive.

As one who has been there 10 times and was, until Hurricane Emily, supposed
to go back tomorrow, a couple of tongue and cheek observations:

USAir still allows 70 pounds and 62" of the L/W/D of the package.

I don't understand why you schlepped your gear to the street to save $23.
The vans are quick and efficient. The airport is a very long walk from
town. I am surprised you took the option of hoofing it.

Almost everyone that offers "travel assistance" or tourist information sells
timeshares or packages of things to do. When I meet them on the street, my
line is "vamos manana". I do it to the same person(s) every day until they
get the joke. After the 3rd or 4th day, they see me and tell me that I'm
vamoosing in the manana. They understand the humor.

There's just too many good places to eat and stay in CZM to stay at an all
inclusive. "Buffet", I am sure means in some language "take what we give
you". Ditto the all inclusive bars. It has to be paid for somehow. It
ain't free, but if it's all inclusive, you get what they give you.

A ground floor unit is never as quiet nor as dry as a an upper floor unit.
More people and the rules of being in the ground closer to the water
conspire to add to each problem.

The odd odor you were smelling was probably the wetlands area or what we all
use to call the swamp. It's occasionally full of brackish or stagnant
water, dead and live plants, fish, gators, and lizards. As it is the rainy
season, more of the water has no where to go.

More research before you went would have made your trip much more enjoyable.

Let's hope Cozumel makes it through Emily OK. Looks like they are due for a
near direct hit in a couple of hours.
