Yesterday I was read on the internet a post that someone had written about how they couldn’t possibly come to Cozumel because we don’t flush the toilet paper, and that they thought that was really icky and prolly smelled kinda gross, eww!
I had to laugh out loud. First of all Cozumel is an island and we don’t have any water pressure at all to speak of. Second of all, have you ever been anywhere, restaurant, hotel, public place, that didn’t clean their restrooms at least once a day? that remained in business?
Seriously, what exactly is this person envisioning?? Calcutta? I’m thinking they might have missed the whole Caribbean island kinda vibe. That’s ok, more boat drinks for the rest of us!!

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weeklyCozumel 4 You news,social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean.

I could do without the ignorance of some people! But I’d love one of those boat drinks!!!
The ignorance out there is truly amazing sometimes, isn’t it?
I just posted a picture of the “Do not put your paper in the toilet” signs found in Cozumel. I have no problem with it. And one of my readers pointed out that the same is true in Crete.
So there you go.
Love your island. Don’t put your paper in the toilet.
I just don’t get the whole,”this isn’t the same as back home” kinda mentality.
I would totally crap on the ground in a hole outside in front of everyone if it meant I could go to cozumel; seriously. : )
I’ll be there briefly in mid-October and will be one of those horrible cruise people. I’ve never been on a cruise and wanted to try it, but if I go back to Cozumel, I’ll just go without the ship. I’d also like some suggestions about where to eat and what to do while there. Unfortunately, I won’t have much time but am excited about going. After reading Ms Moon’s blog about her love for the island, I want to go.
Joy, send me your email addy and I’ll add you to my weekly Cozumel 4 you webletter, my email is laura@czm4you.com
maybe you can come to happy hour and have blue drinks with the surf king!!
My FIL used to scuba dive in Cozumel, and I was always slightly amused/irritated at his additude that the rest of the planet should conform to what he was comfortable with. In other words, it should all be just like America. I’m sure the no flushing rule freaked him out, as he hasn’t darkened your island for a good 10 years now.
Wait….what?!
I’d be glad that person doesn’t want to come visit. Sounds like a party pooper to me!
