If you missed the chat I did for Budget Travel online, here’s the transcript. The questions I got about traveling in the Yucatan cover a lot of common issues: when to rent a car vs. when to take a bus, whether it’s possible to see all the Maya ruins in X amount of time, and whether safety and hygiene are big issues.

Special points to anyone who can spot the ringer questions sent in by an especially creative member of the Moskos family. And it’s not Peter–I didn’t answer his question, which went something like, “I’m going to Playa del Carmen to meet the love of my life and future wife, and I need a place to rendezvous. I hear the taco place La Floresta is good. What do you think?” I figured that one didn’t really have much application for a larger audience. But they are fantastic tacos.
