Have you?

Cenotes are a Mexican term that originate from the Mayan word "dzonot", whose meaning is "abyss" and are a pool of water, and luckily, in Mexico, along the Yucatan Peninsula there are at least 10,000 cenotes. Have you ever visited a cenote? Yucatán Turismo

This would be funny if it weren't true! Happy Friday, everyone!! :)

BUYING PAINT FROM A HARDWARE STORE
Customer: Hi. How much is your paint?
Clerk: We have regular quality for $12 a gallon and premium for $18. How many gallons would you like?
Customer: Five gallons of regular quality, please.
Clerk: Great. That will be $60 plus tax.

BUYING PAINT FROM AN AIRLINE
Customer: Hi, how much is your paint?
Clerk: Well, sir, that all depends.
Customer: Depends on what?
Clerk: Actually, a lot of things.
Customer: How about giving me an average price?
Clerk: Wow, that's too hard a question. The lowest price is $9 a gallon, and we have 150 different prices up to $200 a gallon.
Customer: What's the difference in the paint?
Clerk: Oh, there isn't any difference; it's all the same paint.
Customer: Well, then, I'd like some of that $9 paint.
Clerk: Well, first I need to ask you a few questions. When do you intend to use it?
Customer: I want to paint tomorrow, on my day off.
Clerk: Sir, the paint for tomorrow is the $200 paint.
Customer: What? When would I have to paint in order to get the $9 version?
Clerk: That would be in three weeks, but you will also have to agree to start painting before Friday of that week and continue painting until at least Sunday.
Customer: You've got to be kidding!
Clerk: Sir, we don't kid around here. Of course, I'll have to check to see if we have any of that paint available before I can sell it to you.
Clerk: That would be in three weeks, but you will also have to agree to start painting before Friday of to week and continue painting until at least Sunday.
Clerk: Just because you can see it doesn't mean that we have it. It may be the same paint, but we sell only a certain number of gallons on any given weekend. Oh, and by the way, the price just went to $12.
Customer: You mean the price went up while we were talking!
Clerk: Yes, sir. You see, we change prices and rules thousands of times a day, and since you haven't actually walked out of the store with your paint yet, we just decided to change. Unless you want the same thing to happen again, I would suggest that you get on with your purchase. How many gallons do you want?
Customer: I don't know exactly. Maybe five gallons. Maybe I should buy six gallons just to make sure I have enough.
Clerk: Oh, no, sir, you can't do that. If you buy the paint and then don't use it, you will be liable for penalties and possible confiscation of the paint you already have.
Customer: What?
Clerk: That's right. We can sell you enough paint to do your kitchen, bathroom, hall and north bedroom, but if you stop painting before you do the bedroom, you will be in violation of our tariffs.
Customer: But what does it matter to you whether I use all the paint? I already paid you for it!
Clerk: Sir, there's no point in getting upset; that's just the way it is. We make plans based on the idea that you will use all the paint, and when you don't, it just causes us all sorts of problems.
Customer: This is crazy! I suppose something terrible will happen if I don't keep painting until after Saturday night!
Clerk: Yes, sir, it will.
Customer: Well, that does it! I'm going somewhere else to buy my paint.
Clerk: That won't do you any good, sir. We all have the same rules. Thanks for flying--I mean painting--with our airline.

The age-old question.....

https://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/airplane-armrest-etiquette?cid=378982&did=378982-20190514&mid=21003731282&utm_campaign=%23ExtraSocialContent&utm_content=93747566&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&hss_channel=fbp-206707532704232

In the era of the dwindling airplane seat size, when armrests are—like everything else on a plane—smaller, it’s certainly tempting to claim as much turf as possible, “Hunger Games”-style, once you board your flight. But who really deserves the armrests, particularly in a three-across seati...

Thankfully the travel ban has been lifted..... but I think that this article should help put everyone's mind at ease over the fear of traveling to Mexico....

I felt the need to write this today after a vlog post I released last weekend. Mexico has gotten some really bad press recently and as someone who comes here 4-5 months a year and sends my children to school here I am hoping to help shed some[…]

Just to put things in perspective about the latest travel warning to Mexico.

The U.S. State Department has released a travel warning adding Cancún and Los Cabos — the crown jewels of Mexico’s tourism industry — to its list of dangerous places around the world. But when you compare the murder figures of both cities with those of some major U.S. cities, you get a different pic...

How many of these classic travel blunders have you made?

07/10/2017

I always hear folks say "why should I use a travel agent when I can book it myself online?"...... remember that online booking engines are exactly that. Booking engines. And in the event of a situation like this, good luck getting a representative from the online booking engine to help you.

Did you know Expedia is not obligated to return your prepaid $874 if you are bumped by the hotel? ABC News picks up a cautionary tale of why a travel agent really is better than an OTA.

Not all "good deals" are actually "good deals" once you break it all down....

On a tight travel budget, I was on the hunt for the most affordable ticket with the shortest travel time.
