In these final minutes of 2010, I've written up a few resolutions:
1) Be excellent in everything I do.
That is all.

Just Chillin' Like Villians / Like a Villian
A friend of mine relayed this to me and I love it. Please, casually insert it into your conversations whenever you can!
Also, Greetings from Mexico!

Daniel Tovbis leaves the country
In approx. 19 hours I'm going to get on a plane and get the hell out of here. It's about time.
I'm going to Riviera Maya, Mexico - A jungly area of Mexico, just south of Cancun, in the giggle-inducing province "Quintana Roo".
It's a really nice place, albeit a bit rocky. They recommend bringing those special diving shoes, which my parents were nice enough to buy for the whole family. Thanks, guys!
The resort we're going to be chillin' at is called "Gran Bahia Principe Coba". As I always do before I go to any hotel, I read some of the worst possible reviews before reading anything else:
"The bugs, poor service, and body rash aside. The final straw that forced us to leave bahia was a small bag of my clothing was either taken or thrown away. I don't want to think it was stolen, and I'm hoping it was just accidentally tossed in the garbage by our housekeeper, but either way that kind of negligence just cannot be tolerated. We reported it and were basically not believed!
This hotel would be great for a drunk teenager who doesn't care anything else but beers and shots, because the bartenders couldn't mix a drink to save their lives.
All in all I would never recommend this resort to anyone. It was just inconvenient all around. We love the riviera maya and visit often, but will never come back to Bahia. We left the resort after a week and changed to a better hotel to enjoy the rest of our vacation. Avoid the hassle and stay away from bahia."

"Many people we spoke to had bad stomachs and had been in hospital with food poisoning on drips for several days but the hotel would not admit they had a problem
What will it take this hotel to realise they have a major problem .
If you have booked here i would seriously think about changing unless you want to risk your life and get seriously ill.
I would welcome hearing from anyone that was there between 4 -19 th May.I will do all i can to expose this hotel for bad food hygiene."

"So, if you trip is to just bake in the sun at the pool and not go into the Caribbean and you don't bring your own snorkeling and scuba gear, and your favorite activity is to drink yourself into a stupor, then this may be an okay choice. But really you can do that almost anywhere in the world and for a lot less money."

SOUNDS LIKE FUN TIMES.
In all honesty though, The 5 star reviews outnumber all the other reviews combined, so it's probably not going to be that bad. I've been to a resort owned by the same company before (I've got pictures on facebook!) and it was great, so hopefully good times will be had by all.
I'm going to be bringing my little netbook with me to the airport. Message me up from 3:00-5:00 to say a heartfelt goodbye, or request a trinket with little sentimental value!
