Yes, actually I kind of hated this about CR lol. I can carry my own luggage and don't need/want to tip someone to walk my luggage to my car, but they just sort of took it and I didn't have a chance. |
Just came back from Mexico City. Yes you can shower and wash your hair with tap water. I wear contacts as well and washed my hands in sink as usual. No problem. I brushed my teeth as well and had no problem. But I used bottled water to rinse my mouth out. |
This is helpful. I have always wondered, and thought I might get a CC that provided access. I guess I will tough it out with all the other non-VIPs (like me). |
Ours too. I regretted going with my kids when they were 8 and 4. I spent the whole time worrying they were going to trip and fall and fly over the edge (somewhat irrational, I know). Also, they were too young to do any real hiking. Would have been more enjoyable now that they're teens/tweens. |
I've spent so much time in the Caribbean and in the Yucatan (second biggest reef in the world) and I've never heard of this. I'm not doubting you at all, but I'd like to hear more. What fish are "reef fish"? I'd love to avoid this problem! |
I've spent many years going to Mexico as my family has a house there. I use the water to wash my hands, boil it to cook my food in, but I will use bottled water for brushing my teeth, I keep my mouth closed in the shower, and I avoid ice in more small-scale restaurants. I've never had an issue. |
Which countries have water that will most likely make someone sick? for me, it was Peru. I knew to not drink the water or brush my teeth with it where I was (Cusco). But I ate the grapes in the breakfast bar. Took me so long to come back from that bout of food poisoning. |

I went to the Cayman Islands and turned the lights on in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found dozens of huge roaches all over my floor. I had shared my hotel room with friends the previous nights and walked in the dark then so didn't know! |
Also, there are no washcloths in Europe in general. |
How complicated transportation is Tokyo is! Both Japan railway and the subway can be used to cross the city, different payment systems. |

This is similar to my experience in Thailand. The Thai locals and visitor people at the train station are actually being kind and trying to help you. Very different from the train station people in paris, France. Lol |
Kind of true. The food isn’t great, but who doesn’t like a free beer, cocktail or coffee? I do like theUnited Club in Denver. Only been there once, but got a roomy layout and is nicely designed. |
Nothing is free. |
