I agree with what everyone else has said: Mitch is HOT, and knowledgable, and very personable. The Mayan Encounter guys were as well...What a dilemma!!!

Thanks for the tour info. As we have never been to Playa before, it sounds like Chichen Itza is a must see. I'd love to say we can do that next year, but who knows? We're taking this 10 day trip sans our 5 yr. and 8 yr. old children. My in-laws will be caring for them and while they are great, I don't want to ask too often. So maybe we'll have to plan a family trip next time.
I'd love to see both Chichen Itza and Ek Balam w/Villadolid, but maybe that's just too long. I think we are leaning towards both the Mayan Encounter and Chichen Itza/Villadolid. We were at a holiday party, and some acquaintances there had just returned from Playa and loved the Mayan Encounter tour.
So, maybe we won't have to chose between the hot guys!
