Cruz Roja Cozumel this years charity


Count down is at 10 days. There is excitement in the air.

When we go down we try to be more then just tourist. Since Wilma the small community of San Miguel has been taking care of its community member lots more. Let’s hope that this year’s high season will be a big one so families can bring more money to the table.

Got the OK from Canjet and Air Canada to take down the Cruz Roja supplies and they gave me an entitlement for 10kg.

My work colleagues and friend have supplied us with all kinds of items, latex gloves, zinc oxide for pediatric use, all kinds of wound care items, antibacterial gel, antibiotic ointment, children vitamins and of course money, $180.00 in total. I have to say a big Thanks You to everyone that contributed to this.

This is a great cause they take care of everyone that needs medical attention, including tourist. Our contact Deb told us that they would not turned down any one who comes in with supplies. They have the only ambulance service on the island. From our experience of the past 4 trips we have seen them taking care of lots of tourist with road rash. Tourist come into Cozumel thinking it could be cool to drive around town or the Island on a B-Wizz (small moped you see teenagers on) The down town core is mad of mostly one way streets and avenue and you have very few lights at intersections and mosly stops in one direction. So if you are planning a trip to Cozumel rent a Car it's so much safer.

Deb sent me all of the paper work that we need to take down our supplies. Christian made a special tag for our suite case so it’s clearly identified.

Got all of the Ironing done and waiting to be folded at the last minute. This trip is just for 7 days so will take only the basic and will wash things as needed. Laundry services are well organized in Cozumel and not expensive at all.

Our travel agent called us back and we will have to pickup our ticket at the Pearson Airport. Because we purchased the Premier Package Sunquest doesn't issue the ticket via email.

We will be back very soon
