Non-Event Dean

As of the time of this post, Dean has just about cleared the Yucatan Peninsula and is down to a category 1 hurricane. It made landfall well south of the resort areas and the reports that are streaming in are all good.

In the southernmost resorts there is about a day's worth of cleanup to do. Up in Cancun, it was little more than a bad Texas Spring thunderstorm.

I have kept myself amused watching the Weather Channel. The reporter was actually standing on the beach while reporting no the storm. He was using multiple superlatives to describe the power of the storm. Come on! If it was really that powerful, could he actually stand on the beach? He even spent a few minutes showing the viewing public an iguana that was on the beach with him. Certainly if the reporter didn't have the good sense to get in out of the rain, if the storm was that deadly...wouldn't the wildlife take cover?

Anyway, it's all good in Cancun, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya.

Travel at will.
