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. |
||
Sadly there are still homes that haven't found anyone to love them with sufficient means to do so. | ||
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. |
||
The coffee shop also serves in the adjoining courtyard and in the smoking area. |
||
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. | ||
The courtyard also has a beautiful pool. My suite adjoins the courtyard. | ||
The Living Area is spacious and comfortable with a desk in the corner.
