Alwasy put shampoo and conditioner ( and any other liquid containers) in plastic bags in suitcase so they do not leak onto clothes during travel.

Make sure you have AT LEAST 2 hours for your stopover in Mexico City in case of delays and to get through customs with your luggage once collected at baggage claim.
» TIP
Using ATMs will ensure the best exchange rate and you don't have to carry lots of cash or travelers checks.
» TIP
Do not use a credit card to make a telephone call in Mexico. A one minute call can cost over $50.00 US. This has happened to me!
» TIP
Always hand carry medications to your destination ... some medications may not be available. Bring a small plastic bottle of bleach.
» TIP
Always hand-carry medications to your destination. Some medications may not be available.
» TIP
Take a bath pillow [the kind you blow up] to use on your lounge chair. Easy to pack and priceless for preventing a sore neck.
» TIP
Put all your valuables in the safe, when your room is being cleaned, sometimes the door is left open for as long as a half hour, and anyone can enter your room and help themselves to your possessions.
» TIP
Take a ten foot piece of light nylon rope (1/8") and a few clothespins to hang clothes to dry on your balcony.
» TIP
Don't buy anything on the return while waiting at the airport unless you have exact money or don't mind pesos for change. Pesos are worthless on the plane.
» TIP
Avoid hotel tours where they give you free certificates or gifts. They are time-share presentations. Why spend a whole morning of your vacation listening to a presentation for a $10 T-shirt?
» TIP
Bring instant hand sanitizer to Mexico. My wife keeps a small bottle in her bag to clean hands before meals and throughout the day. Most restrooms don't have soap and paper towels.
» TIP
If bringing nail polish on a plane always put it in a Ziploc baggie or it might explode on your belongings
» TIP
If you have an illness that may require treatment in hospital, make sure you find out where the nearest medical centre is and keep the phone number with you at al times.
» TIP
Traveler's checks are not easy to cash at the banks in Cozumel. Exchange monies before you make your journey. You will avoid hassles.
» TIP
On the shuttles from airport to hotels, sit on a right-side window to watch luggage being unloaded prior to your hotel. To ensure that your luggage isn't accidentally taken to another hotel.
» TIP
Carry extra baggies & take buns/meats/cheeses and fruit/nuts/cereal from the buffet. You've paid for this food - so why buy expensive food during your day trip?
