I am fortunate enough to be able to travel 5 or 6 times each year and do so for nothing more than pleasure. I don't make any money at all from planning trips such as this, for my friends or family. I just like to have fun and experience new places. I also enjoy meeting new people who are interested in Maya history. That said, if anyone wants to join a trip I have planned, please send me an email:  mayaruinsonly (at) yahoo.com    (Serious inquiries only)
