Time Changing in Q. Roo on FEBRUARY 1st!!!

About a month ago, I posted about a permanent time change in the State of Quintana Roo that had been passed by the legislature. I had assumed that it would change in the spring with the daylight savings time.

But, instead, it will be changing on February 1st, 2015!!

So, on the evening of January 31st before heading to bed, set your clocks ahead 1 hour!
