Cancun question for those of you who've been there...
 

Sleazy says it rains there so be prepared, Toolguy says t-shirts and shorts is all you should pack. So who's right? I'm interested in input from anyone who's been there before... :helpme

It does rain but its not cold outside so you dont really need warm clothes.

No need for fancy clothes, unless you are a chick.

It is a tropical area, it may rain an hour here or there. But no need to be prepared, who carries an umbrella in Cancun?

He's right. It might rain for an hour in mid afternoon like it does in S. Florida, but its a nice steady rain and very short lived. No need to prepare. Ten minutes later you will be as dry as a bone.

Thanks for the advice fellas! :thumbsup

I was there for a week last year at the show and it rained one afternoon for about 90 minutes. Was a warm rain though. I would take a light jacket or your GFY hoodie for late nights at the beach or if you get chilly. But to me, it really was paradise. I loved it.

Don't worry about the rain, it's rained for maybe 6 hours for the entire 3 weeks I've been there. As for the clubs, decent clothes are needed although not necessary. I'd just wear a pair of jeans and a nice polo out at night (and well into the morning!)

Yeah...pack some warm clothes...As you can see....It get's pretty cold there.

During the day, you're never more than 15 minutes from being in the water.

So, let that guide your day-time wardrobe choices.

But, at night, the ladies will certainly want to have some slinky/sexy stuff and strappy sandals to throw on.

For the gents, I'd recommend the understated, always appropriate-in-warm-weather casual-neatness of linen.

FYI: It's supposed to rain from Thursday to Saturday.


j-

Day = Surftrunks, sandals, and tank (optional)

Night = Jeans, SSL button up or t-shirt, sandals/shoes

Nice and simple

Sounds good, thx! :thumbsup

buy what you need there - pack only your credit card and cash

They take plastic there?

mostly cash but they have atm everywhere

Do the ATM's spit out pesos or dollars?

who cares if it rains? just go jump in the ocean when its done

Don't know, but everywhere I went took pesos and dollars. Plus, they have currency exchange booths all over the place. I wouldn't really worry about it.

Either :) And it's only rained a few times in the past 3 months since we moved here. Just because the weather guy says it's supposed to rain, doesn't mean anything really...when it rains, it rains hard for a short time and then it's back to gorgeous weather :)

ATM's are hit and miss, I could never get mine to work there.

dood you got to go on the mini speed boat river tour it kicks ass!!(drive little two man speed boats down a river then you snorkel in the clear ass water)

with all these finely dressed gents, I just may have to hop a plane after all....

Really? Our regular bank card works as well as our ePassport and Paypal cards....in every ATM we've tried :)

So you're questioning me now huh? I see how ya are....lol (j/k)
Anyway the ATMs I hit spit out peso's and the cool thing was that your balance on your receipt was in peso's also so you look at it and go HELL YA...lol Would be a cool way to pick up chicks though, just put your phone number on the receipt that says you have a 500k balance or whatever it was and hope they dont see that it's peso's :)

All you need is money for hookers man...

yeah what poppy said, thats all im brining

board shorts, sandles and tanktops

and then jeans, a button up or polo and shoes

Sounds good to me! :thumbsup
