If you only use a shape adapter (but not energy transformer) your appliances won't break but will work much slowly. I tryed to charge the camera batteries and it took much longer than at home. But no harm done, ... just take into account that it make take more time or work slower than usual. Leave a Comment

I was advised to take my own, since they may be hard to find. The recommendations were - some analgesic (for headache and other pain), something for diahrrea, something to put at bugs' bites (namely mosquittoes) and some kind of stronger medicine for soure throat or cold.
Obviously if you regularly take some meddication you should take that into account and not forget to take them - allergies, for instance.
> Vacination
Not required.
> Repellent
Don't forget to take some spray or stick to keep the mosquittoes away. They can be pretty annoying and let you felling hitchy. :-)
> Sunscreen
The sun is very strong, so be sure to take a good sunscreen. Specially if you're going to the sea, you should use a high spf. I used "total protection" when travelling by boat. Leave a Comment

Beware to take natural fabrics (such as cotton or linen) clothes, since they can be fresher than fibres. Don't forget to take a hat if you're planning to travel around or sail.
If you are a "male" and you are staying at an all inclusive resort you will have to wear trousers or kackis (not jeans) at the "a la carte" restaurant. For the buffet restaurant i guess there is no "dressing code". Ladies, relax, virtually everything is allowed. :-)
You should take a light coat since some nights are fresher or you might get a bad weather. I travelled to Mexico in March and since there was a light breeze at night i felt confortable with a cotton sweater. There was one day where it was so sloudy and windy that we couldn't go to the beach or pool. Leave a Comment

I also recommend taking one (or more!) of those discardable cameras to shoot in water. I know that photos arenīt of great quality, but better these than none. :-) Leave a Comment

comfy sandals, forget the hells unless you really plan to be hanging out in the packed nightclubs. I never founf nice bikinis in Cancun, so find them before you go. Bring the sunscreen, they have theirs overpriced
Most good hotels have this stuff!
You will get tired of the burning sun, and wish you had a hat, so bring one or buy one from the vendors that walk the beach
forget the cell phone, if I can leave it for a long weekend, anyone can! Leave a Comment

 Salux skin cleaner cloth by vaticanus
DISADVANTAGE: Easy to leave and forget if you pack to hastily.
You can get these at Oriental grocery stores or off the 'net'. Search "salux". Prices run from 3 for $9 up to $8 each so shop around.
Click the photo for detailed view of package.
These also make great stocking stuffers for Christmas and come in a variety of colors: pink, yellow, lime, blue, and rose- maybe more Leave a Comment

During the rainy season, late July to September/October, it rains cats and dogs. In other words a lot, so do bring umbrellas and other gear for rain.
During the winter, October-February it can get rather cold in the mountains and higher altitudes (which includes Mexico City), so remember to bring a good sweater for the afternoons and winterclothes for the evenings.
Good shoes for climbing the pyramids, and a scarf to cocer shoulders when entering the churches.
They have really good and nice doctors in Mexico. Also good farmacies with every thing that you could need. I had a couple of vaccinations before I went there, but that was meant for travelling in general, and not only for Mexico.
Ha - good camera, and lots of films. I found films rather expensive in Mexico, but had no problems finding a new battery for my camera even in a small town south of Mexico City. Leave a Comment

Bring lots of bathing suits, sarongs, t-shirts. If you're going in July carry a small umbrella (for those unexpected sun showers). For evening, bring a mixture of casual and dressy. Don't forget your water socks and sandals.
SUNBLOCK! Aloe Vera! Tampons (hey you never know) Leave a Comment
