Default ¡Hola! From Connecticut

Hi guys - I am new to "in the roo" but have been around a little while on PI. Met John (as in the infamous "in the roo" John) at Luna Blue's bar last week while hubby, friend, and I were vacationing in our favorite spot!

I recognize many of you from PI and look forward to seeing what insight In The Roo will bring. Hubby and I are talking about moving to PDC (not in the near future...just starting the investigation process..picking people's brains) and I see there is a ton of info on here about doing just that! We've had our rosy colored glasses ripped off our face by many ex-pats living & working in PDC so we know that 1) it's not a vacation to live there 2) it's a lot of work for very little money and 3) the frustration of dealing with a third world economy and government send most idealists running for the border. This is why we've decided to approach it as logically as possible...and even doing that we understand that there is no way to fully prepare for such a move.

Anyway, we'll be back in November (hopefully the 6th through the 12th) and will attempt to continue our trips every 6 months. Next trip will include 2 nights in Akumal and 2 nights in Tulum and our days in Playa spent diving wih Geofish Divers.

Looking forward to "meeting" some of you guys!
Rebecca

Welcome to In The Roo, Rebecca! Sorry I missed you at the Luna Blue! I was there a little earlier in the night. Looking forward to meeting you in November though. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions.

Rebecca, glad you joined us. It was nice meeting you and the guys the other night. We tried to hunt you down later at PGs and Beer Bucket and La Rana... Unfortunately, it was a quiet Friday night and guess you were on a hunt for something a little more lively. Hope you found it eventually!

Feel free to ask us any questions you have about living and working here. Although it can be difficult at times, it is a great experience. Do your homework first and it'll make the whole transition a heck of a lot easier.

Hasta luego!

Bummer that we missed you guys. On Saturday (the 31st) we went to the Mojo Zone. We were at Beer Bucket for about 10 seconds when Jez grabbed us and we went to see Brad and his band play. I only met Brad for a brief second that night but he is an awesome singer and musician. Cool little place he has there.

I hope to dive Cozumel with him next time. We dove with him this last trip and we dove Playa. We went to Chuzumbul, Jardines, Mama Vina, and Tortuga. Awesome dives!

it is open now and from what Paulo said the damage to Sablados was not as significant as the originally thought it would be. Tortuga has a ripping current! I swear we were going about 10 miles an hour without moving our fins at all!
