And the search continues...

I'm still looking for a good price on a flight to Merida.  So far the best I have found was on Kayak.com.  Its $387 for a one-way ticket and then I can worry about the return flight later.  The more I search for flights, the worse it seems to get.  It makes me wonder how the economic changes here have affected those in Merida.  I've been scanning El Diario del Yucatan - the local newspaper - but I haven't found a lot of information yet.  Today exchange rate was 12.8 pesos to a dollar, which is only about a peso more than the rate a year ago.  I'll be interested to see how that changes between now and January!
