Xcaret and Weather Questions

[redhairgirl1]

After reading about travel insurance from you guys, it got me wondering? I only paid $20.00 for my insurance. Is there a difference in what kind you get? I didn't see any option for it when booking, so i was wondering what the difference was?

I think so. My travel insurance "cancel anytime" thingy cost $100 a person. There are actual online insurances you can buy that will protect your trip to. Who/what did you book through?

We went, but didn't eat while we were there. We stayed at the resort and had free admission. So we just went back and forth for the day. I haven't heard many reviews on any of the places.

Seems we may have some rain coming.

...Alma weakening but still a tropical storm as its center nears
Honduras...significant heavy rainfall threat continues...
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for the Pacific coast of
Central America from Jaco Costa Rica northwestward including
Nicaragua...Honduras and El Salvador.
For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.
At 500 PM PDT...0000z...the center of Alma was located inland over
extreme western Nicaragua...close to the Honduras border...near
latitude 12.9 north...longitude 87.1 west or about 80 miles...130
km...northwest of managua Nicaragua and about 80 miles...130
km...south of tegucigalpa Honduras.
Alma is moving toward the north near 9 mph...15 km/hr. On this
track the center of Alma will be moving over western Honduras
tonight and Friday. A gradual turn to the northwest is anticipated
on Friday...and the center of Alma or its remnant circulation could
reach Guatemala or Belize late Friday or early Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased and are now estimated to be
near 50 mph...85 km/hr...with higher gusts. Continued gradual
weakening is expected tonight and Friday as the cyclone moves
farther inland...and the tropical cyclone is expected to dissipate
by Saturday over northern Central America.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 85 miles...140 km
mainly over water to south and west of the center.
Estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb...29.47 inches.

Alma is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 10 to 15
inches over portions of Central America from Costa Rica
northwestward through portions of Nicaragua...Honduras...El
Salvador...Guatemala and Belize. Isolated maximum storm total
amounts of 20 inches are possible in areas of higher terrain.
These rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud
slides.

It may or may not but I will be watching as I do with the season. You just never know these days.

Hi am not sure if you are talking to me, but i booked right through Northwest airlines online. 20$! i will have to look into it more.

We get tropical storms and hurricanes on here on the East Coast of Canada too. Don't remember getting hit straight on but getting the tail end of a hurricane and it's incredible the devastation even they can do. There is nothing adventurous about them but scarry and horrifying!
