NY Biker, did you ever find any solutions for the food odor issue? I remember your posting about it here and many of us trying to help with possible solutions. Hope you found something to help.

Crankin, your new condo sounds like the DH and my ideal! We would love to live in a very quiet spot with unobtrusive neighbors. Sounds like pretty much the opposite of where we live now. If you want lots of people around (most way younger than yourself) and tons of social opportunities, just come to Playa del Carmen!
