Air-ahead-

Traffic last month at Quintana Roo's airports was up substantially over last year, as one might expect. Last November we were suffering with the after effects of Wilma. This November, flights were up almost 300% in Cancun and 450% at Cozumel over 2005. Overall air traffic in Mexico was up 109%, which shows how important Cancun is to Mexico. A better air comparison is November of 2004 to November of 2006. November Cancun air traffic is up just over 5% over the same month two years ago.

Hungry?

I have just completed a list of all the restaurants in Puerto Morelos...and I came up with 27 places. Not bad for a sleepy little fishing village eh? Please note that the 27 does not include at least two more that are under construction right now near the square, they don't include any of the chicken places, any of the many restaurants in the Colonia...and they don't include whichever places I inevitably forgot. See the list here.

The World for Puerto Morelos-

Response to the formation of El Mundo Para Puerto Morelos has been great. Donations are coming in through the town and through the mail to their address in Texas. A couple of fundraisers have already been held in Mexico and in the US. Earlier this month the "1st Annual Give Something Back to Puerto Morelos" party was held in Minneapolis where more than $2500 was raised. PM favourite Cooker John performed at the party hosted by Kathy Kosnoff.

Another fundraiser is a Domino Tournament to be held in Puerto Morelos at Baraka restaurant, December 15-20. A minimum 100 peso donation gets you in. You can win a trophy and a prize and drinks are dos por uno! For more info, you can call 998-202-3657.

If you don't play dominos or you won't be here in Puerto Morelos, you can still help out. See the Foundation's wish list and find out how you can get an IRS tax receipt for your donation at their webpage here.
