Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

This seems to be one of the few places in Mexico where it is still safe to travel.

As I write this, I hear on American news channels of the storm sweeping across the country and there must be havoc in the airline travel industry, as well. I guess I got a lucky day to fly. I flew on the 10th and had a 1 hour delay in Gulfport (GPT - my starting point) due to weather in Atlanta (ATL). After that everything was just fine.

My really 1st day of this trip was spent traveling - with a lot of layover time. The Mexico City airport almost killed me... I ended up back-and-forth and end-to-end a couple times. Just too much for this old dude! So, my 1st real vacation day was mostly spent recuperation from my "Jet Lag". But I did get a few neighborhood pictures and some of my hotel.

Beautiful Historic Neighborhood

The Wyndham Merida is located in a neighborhood of grand historic mansions. Happily many are restored to great condition.

Wyndham Merida

This lovely hotel is where I'm staying. It's difficult to tell what is 'old' and what is new - but its beginnings were with one of the grand old mansions on this street. It is certainly completely modern now.

I got a 'Junior Suite'

The front desk and reception area is somewhat small, but beautiful.

 

The restaurant is lovely and also offers a glassed in 'outdoor' dining room.

Above is a garden area that sits by the designated smoking area - as seen from my bedroom. The center picture (different vantage point) shows the doors to my living area; the bedroom also has doors looking into the garden.
