I am thinking of going to Cancun, Mexico for 5 day vacation as I am seeing some deals in August. Is August too early in general to plan travel ? Any thoughts on Mexico ?

Went to Cancun on my honeymoon. Wife and I were underwhelmed. It's overly touristy.

Ya idk. Also Cancun isn’t worth it, at this point you can go to Pensacola and get a similar experience. Ixtapa, Manzanillo, and even PV are way better culturally. The food is still local and not completely overtaken by foreign chains.

I would wait. Mexico isn't disappearing anytime soon, and honestly it ranks close to US in how badly they're handling coronavirus

August is hot and humid for Cancun - averages around 90F. When I went I made sure I either stayed in the pool/near the ocean (boating, snorkeling, scuba, etc). Also ended up in a mild hurricane where everything was shut down for 1-2 days due to flooding/wind.

I went to playa mujeres the first week of June which is 10 miles north of Cancun. It was totally fine just wear a mask, stay on the resort, and stay at a nice resort. They have precautions in place. Continue to quarantine when you get home.

Mexico is the next hotspot, so no, I wouldnt go

I would recommend against Cancun for the same reasons the others said.

I'll be a contrarian to the others and say that as long as you follow basic precautions, the covid risk level should be relatively low.

There is the risk of a potential flare-up between now and then, as well as hurricane risks, so I'd definitely get trip insurance if you can.

Trip insurance is not covering COVID at this point. It’s totally buyer beware.

Aside from Quintana Roo being a current hot spot, google Cancun Sargasso. Bit of a sea weed explosion at the moment.

I quarantined for a month in Tulum. It was perfect, got to enjoy the weather and beaches over the weekends without the typical crowds.

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
