Going to Mexico this Thanksgiving...

[Zach]

Hey all...

Going to Cancún (Isla de Mujeres to be more precise) this Thanksgiving for my cousin's wedding. Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good books/travel guides for the area, and give me some tips...

I'm a little bit worried about my Spanish, though I won't really need it much probably since it's mostly a tourist area...but I would really like to visit some of the more "authentic" Mexican shops and restaurants. I think I know enough to get around and have a fairly good conversation, but I really want to try to get better between now and then. I'm going to get a Spanish-only dictionary (thanks for the Amazon.com link David) for one thing, and see how I do without the "crutch" of a bilingual one, and I'll keep listening to my Pimsleur lessons I guess.

I've never been to Mexico before, so this will be exciting and a little scary...

Thanks very much!
