So some friends of mine are going to Mexico for 2 weeks in August and I've been invited along. I don't have enough vacation time for that, but I can go for about 5 or 6 days. Has anyone been to Mexico that time of year? Will I roast?

I'd land in Cancun, spend a few days there, then travel west towards Merida. Theres plans to visit Mayan ruins and Chichen-Itza and such which just seems so awesome.

Has anyone done this? I haven't decided if I'm going yet, want a bit more information. Apparently my friend has scouted out a hotel thats $3 American a night. Sounds scary!

Also, I hate Mexican food. Will I find anything to eat? Can you bring food into the country? Does the old saying "Don't drink the water" still apply?

Lookin for advice!
