Most Airbnbs we've stayed in have been okay but there are always things that are not quite right. Sometimes it's such a big price difference to stay in an Airbnbs compared to hotels for long stays so we end up staying in them.

Funny how I’m watching this just coming back from this hotel. View is everything we were in the 14rh floor oceanfront. But cockroaches 🪳 everywhere. The breakfast sucks for $300 a night stay. The ceilings are super low and narrow hallways and narrow parking garage. Elevators aren’t marked North or South. Will definitely stay closer towards boardwalk if ever we visit again.

Very typical review from a very gringo perspective, ESPECIALLY of the Deliverance variety. I suppose compared to a podunk town like Memphis, Merida might not be as cheap (or they just took advantage of clueless gringos, but trust me when I tell you Merida is cheaper, cleaner and safer than New York...

Thank you for your excellent video. I'm a tad confused though. The title of your video says "Carry On Only Packing Video" Surely you will be overweight for carry on only? Won't the big bag need to be checked in? What am I missing? 🧐
@SlowTravelChronicles
@SlowTravelChronicles Ай бұрын
It is not overweight. I think it weighs 23lbs. It is the largest carry-on that meets US standards. Twice in Europe the made us check, that was Ryanair and Lufthansa. Other US and European carriers have had no problem with it. We are trying to call smaller before we head to Asia next year. It will be too big there. Thanks for watching.

cannot see your 'costs' because you have a suggested video plastered right over the video. Doesn't really help since you were using points instead of paying cash.

Thanks for telling me. I will see if I can fix the view. We normally don’t use points except for 1 off hotel rooms. Normal price is $550/night per couple. That’s why I need the points. Thanks for watching.

People think the South in the US is not cold, but Jan Feb is usually cold because of the humidity. Even here in SWFL it gets pretty cool in Jan Feb although not as cold as it gets in NWFL where I was born and raised. I spent 10 days in Panama in 2021 and I loved it because of the peaceful feeling. No fast pace, no politics, no loud people racing around. Boredom is a thing that keeps me from doing it long term. I am a homebody and like to mostly stay home, putter around in the yard, the pool, cook or watch YT. So you say the pool was too cold? Wow I was under the impression that it was HOT there... Thanks for that comment. Over 4k for 28 days? wow. Sounds like a big no. I want to go where my total budget for a month is less than 2k.

We spent 7 months housesitting in Merida back in 2015, and I agree with what you said - it isn't necessarily a great tourist town for more than a few days (most of the great things to do are several hours away), but it is a terrific place to live. We stayed in the north east of the Centro and I would love to go back. And if you want to use the pool, go in the summertime, it gets VERY HOT and the pool will be much more useful then! lol
