Getting from Isla Mujeres to Cancun Airport
We were scammed by a transportation company at Cancun airport, overcharged for a ride to Isla Mujeres, and now fear encountering them again when we pick up our rental car. What's the cheapest and saf… more
Ferry to Cancun's downtown, then the ADO bus to the airport. It's a bit more time-consuming, but significantly cheaper and safer than any airport taxi or pre-booked transfer. You'll avoid the sharks that way.
That's great advice! I hadn't considered the ADO bus – I was leaning towards a pre-booked transfer, mainly for convenience. The "shark" comment made me chuckle, though – I'll definitely weigh the cost/time vs. potential for overcharging/unnecessary risks. Thanks!
Secundaria Memories?
I'm heading to @Cancun soon and my Tia Elena told me she went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera – she says it’s still around. She described amazing school dances, but also mentioned some inte… more
Secundaria Juan de la Barrera, huh? My Abuela went there, ages ago. She always talked about the bailes – those school dances were legendary apparently. Total mayhem, from what I gathered. The big rivalry was always with Colegio Mexicano. Think Sharks vs. Jets, but with way more glitter and less violence. It mostly played out in crazy cheerleading competitions and, of course, during the annual football game. They’d even have these elaborate, almost theatrical, pranks pulled on each other leading up to the game. One year, they totally covered Colegio Mexicano's statue in glitter – took them days to clean it off apparently. As for traditions...besides the dances and the intense rivalry, there was a massive school fair every year. Think crazy food stalls, games, and a ton of local artists showing their work. It was a HUGE deal for the whole city. Honestly, sounds like your Tia Elena had some awesome times. You should ask her for more stories!
