Mexico

I can hear you saying it now -- “You use a mobility scooter, you can’t visit Mayan ruins!” Well, I’m here to say you can. And I’ll tell you how I did it. Now, I’m not saying that you can do this at every Mayan ruin, but you never know until you try. Admission to the ruins is relatively inexpensive (111 Pesos, about $6 US for Uxmal, Chichén Itzá is about $13 US), so give it a try! We used a local tour company out of Merida, Kuxtal Tours and they were great.

Before our recent trip to Merida, Mexico, my wife spent a lot of time on the Trip Advisor forums asking questions. Once of the questions she asked concerned the use of my mobility scooter. While none of the response to that question were mean per se, they all pretty much boiled down to "It's going to be too difficult, why don't you take a cruise instead?"
