I have seen posts talking about gas carts vs electric carts....do the rental places offer you a choice???

Most of them do.....I just got back & I Had a choice at Moncho's...I chose gas .....
My trip report will come soon.........

are they the same price???

Hey Johnboy!!! Hope the trip home was good for you, not too depressing. We are headed out tomorrow. It was so very nice to meet you guys. We had a great time at the cocktail hour and a din-din. Please tell Ms Linda we enjoyed meeting her as well. By the way, got Colorado Denise and Scott home OK Friday nite. Boy is that a BUMPY ride!!!

cajumnan: we rented a gas cart from Ambergris Carts, it ran perfectly for us and was the right price. You couldn't possibly use a whole tank of gas in a week. Ambergris carts appeared to have only gas carts as they did not offer electric. If you want to go exploring on the North side I would recommend a gas cart.

Don't forget: makeup and hairdryers are totally dead weight. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT forget the sunscreen.

thanks Malibu, have a safe trip....

Malibu, I'm not sure why you keep saying that makeup and hairdryers are dead weight. Myself, I always take my hairdryer . . .true, I don't use it every day, but I still like to have it. The hairdryer that I carry with me is just a little travel dryer with a folding handle; even so it pumps out 1200 watts.

As for makeup, I don't wear any during the day, but I do apply eye makeup for evening. If you are talking face makeup, then I totally agree. It will probably just slide right off anyway. I don't use it at home either, and so in that regard, it's a non-issue for me.

I totally agree with using a strong sun-screen and get the waterproof kind. I've even burned the backs of my hands. For sunburn, I use the green aloe jelly. Works well and if you forget to bring it with you, they sell it at the pink supermarket.
