Warm Jacuzzi waters afterward complete the experience, especially when washed down with crisp cucumber water. A twist that enhances the experience, though, can matter, as I learned at the JW Marriott's spa in Cancun, Mexico.

Mar 13th, 2009 at 7:00PM: Happy Friday the 13th. My day has actually gone well. I hope yours has as well. Once again there is a hodge podge of happenings around the world that have captured our notice here at Gadling.
In case you missed this one, Scott pointed out that this is the Year of the Comic Book in Brussels.
Tom gave a heads up to Cancun's Mercado 28, one he has found to be particularly friendly.
As a ...Cancun's Mercado 28, a friendly outdoor market
Mar 10th, 2009 at 9:00AM: The local vendors manning the kiosks at Mercado 28 – Cancun's outdoor marketplace – do not disappoint. They are ready to cut you a deal and almost seem to be acting in character when you step onto the sidewalk. One instructs you, "It starts here," ushering you inot his store. All greet with "amigo" and promises of "nearly free" prices on jewelry, pottery and "genuine" Cuban cigars, ...Budget Travel: Mexico

Are there tourists? Oh yeah, in spades. Tell someone traveling around Mexico that you've just been to ...Give a Toy and Get a Smile: a charity organization in Cancun that helps tourists give
Nov 26th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Last March I went to Mexico on a do-good travel venture which involved building a house. Here is a simpler way to do good if you are heading to Cancun, Mexico on a vacation and want to share your good fortune at being able to afford such a vacation in the first place.
When I read about this program in Home and Away magazine, it caught my attention as one way to count blessings while on a holiday ...Cancun Takes a Breather
Mar 15th, 2006 at 8:57AM: We did a piece
for AOL about some of the hidden spots to check out during Spring Break in Mexico. Not on the list, for reasons that
should be obvious, was Cancun. Me, I'm no fan of Cancun, the sweltering, tourist-ridden Shangri-la for, it seems, every

Cozumel, but you can have ...
