Thanks for the info, all this talk about "paradise" makes me want to be there. I found a flight to Cancun on Feb 16th then i think I can bus it to the border and catch a quick flight to the island.Is this right. If all goes well i'll be there the night of the 16th for a week. I needed time off work anyways! I think I'll just stay at the backpackers unless anyone has any other economical suggestions
