This is our first trip outside of the US. We were recommended by Wendy’s friend to visit Cancun. They told us they came to Moon Palace Resort - an all inclusive resort. It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth the money once I saw the place with my own eyes. The resort is huge and the room is the best I have visited so far. Since it’s an all inclusive resort, we don’t need to spend any money if we stay inside the resort. There’s even free wireless Internet. Food and drinks (alcohol beverages too) are all included. When I saw wine and soda in the room I thought they are extra, but when I checked the booklet, they are free. They will be refilled when the maid clean the room.

I purchased a MIO C710 about a year ago. The device is decent, but support is horrible. Luckily, this device is one of the mostly hacked gps out there. Specially when during black Friday they lower end model C310x was about $200. The C710 has 2G of ROM and built in bluetooth. Here’s a screen shot of of my custom shell after the device is hacked and the original shell is replaced.

I have 3 Maps on it (iGO, Destinator 7 and TomTom). It has tcpmp video player.
