Hi there.

Great trip report. Seems folks are reading it year's later for trips planned or 2013! We are booked for June, meaning our flights, but still working on internal details. You gave really good advise and it's a fun read. Thank you.

Joy, if you scroll up to my post on Feb 28, 09 at 4:54pm you can see the village names and my impressions of them.

I'm happy that my report is still useful, I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since we were there!

Thanks, Bisbeee! I'll remove it from our list. Do you have any current recommendations? (And thanks bniemand for a great report.)

What type of food are you looking for? I will say the only thing I've never been able to find here that wasn't very good is Mexican food (and I wouldn't expect to either, but always have to try).
