My husband and I are planning a trip to Cancun. I heard its tough to import raw meat but you can try to get documents to allow it. Is cooked meat and chicken allowed? ANy idea how to do it? The chabad food might not be open during our stay Sad

Any nice hotel recommendations? Any information would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Go to Cozumel if you have the opportunity. Also go see the pyramids.

When I went to Mexico we took a lot of double-wrapped frozen meals from Chap-a-Nosh that were salmon and chicken. I didn't want to risk getting caught with meat (even cooked) but looking back I think that (a) cooked meals are probably okay, (b) no one opened our boxes either in Mexico City or at our remote destination area (not Cancun), and (c) we definitely got tired of fish and chicken after a few days. I would suggest also bringing some other/dairy meal ingredients, assuming that you will have a fridge. We found a local Walmart that had kosher cereal and some pareve rice milk, and we bought lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, and some Tropicana and beer. Good luck!

We also took a lot of double wrapped frozen meals when we went to cancun. but we did have some meat and the dogs sniffed us out at the airport and we had to give up the package of liver we had!!! (they left it at that, so the rest of the meat we had went thru!!) we numbered all our packages, kept a list of what they all were, and gave the whole box to the chef to freeze. Every time we wanted a meal, we called the kitchen, told them what number box we wanted heated up. It worked really well. Was a great vacation.

It's beautiful there! Just be careful of your possesions, my wallet was stolen there. You can bring labriute or mealmart boxed meals with you. I stayed at the oasis.
