I spent some time this holiday season putting together a traveler’s guide to Cozumel. The guide provides both maps to photo locations and additional lodging/dining resources. Ok, maybe there are other guides but this one covers all our favorite spots and activities while we visit the island. You can find it here:

The picture’s story: This local fishing spot is shared by a crocodile measuring 5 meters in length. Nobody seems to know where it came from or where it lives. Several locals have told me that its name is Poncho. He usually visits the marina when the fishing boats return. He is rumored to spend his days sleeping on the fairways of the neighboring golf course. I see why they fish from the safety of the wall, and never look for their balls in the rough.

Tip: When you are traveling, make sure to do some forward-recon on the internet. You can research local festivals, map locations of interest, and even print out free margarita coupons for your favorite restaurants.
