Cancun & the New School Year

We had a GREAT time in Cancun, as memorable a vacation as I’ve ever had, and took a ton of pictures, the best of which are up on Flickr at the link. There’s some more from the Underground River in Xcaret — my new favorite vacation destination — that I need to get developed the old-fashioned way, and will upload those over the weekend along with a more detailed post.

Now, even though I’m still on “vacation”, I have a bunch of running around to do for India as she starts at her new school next week but was assigned to a standard school bus with 20+ kids, no bus matron, and no guarantees on the age range of the other kids on the bus! Much as I like a lot of what Bloomberg’s done with the school system, his cost-cutting reform of the transportation system is a disaster on many levels and there’s no way a [not yet] 5-year old with a “speech delay” belongs on an unsupervised school bus. Craziness!
