I went to Cancun with the wifey 2 years ago, it wasn't too bad. I'm sure it would've been better if we had a crew of people to live it up.

As far as fun things to do, my wife and I did the Xel-Ha http://www.xel-ha.com/ Tulum http://www.locogringo.com/past_spotlights/aug2002.html tour where you go to the park for a couple of hours, then go to the ruins for a few hours. It was a LOT of fun. The only thing is that we with we had more time at Xel-Ha because it was a lot of fun snorkeling and exploring. There is another place like that that we didn't get a chance to go to Xcaret http://www.xcaret.com/ which is along the same lines as Xel-Ha, so I'm sure that'd be fun to

Another thing that we enjoyed was the Booze Cruise. They put you on a boat, drive ya over to a private beach resort where they feed you, entertain you, and give you as much as you can drink. They were VERY hospitable when we were there, they waited on us hand and foot, bringing us as much booze and we could take, ha ha ha. We also joined up with a group of people and that made it more fun

As far as the bad things about Cancun, first of all, it's a pain in the ass trying to walk somewhere along the hotel strip because there's people every so often that'll hit you up to take one of their hotel tours for free tickets or meals. I guess you can't really avoid that if walking, but I just figured I'd let ya know, ha ha.

Next up, is the flea market area, you should avoid that area because it's fucking annoying as hell. When you first get up to it, you think "I'll check out this store", well, you walk in there and NOTHING is priced and the store people hover over you, anything you pick up and show interest in, the price they give you is waaaay overpriced. Heck, in one store, my wife picked up 2 very cheap looking bracelets and a hair clip and the guy pulled out his calculator and said "$165". We said "fuck that", so he came down to $130, then $100, then $80, then $60, then eventually as we were walking out the door, he sold them to us for $35 !!

As soon as you walk out of one store at the flea market, there's another person sitting outside the next shop persistantly coaxing you in. Then it seems that every store has the same stuff which makes it even more horrible. One other funny thing is that in 4 of the first 8 shops we stopped in, they offered to sell me some weed, I was like WTF ?!?! ha ha ha. If you want some cheap souvenieers (however you spell it), there is like an outlet store on the main drag, it's a huge store that has everything at low prices and best of all, it's all priced !! ha ha ha.
