I took one of my Maxxum cameras to Mexico last year. Kodak film will give you great results. You may not be pleased with the performance of your "Silver Series" 28-80 Maxxum lens though, but it'll do for "snapshots". If you were taking all your photos in bright sunlight I'd recommend ISO-100 film, but since you're going to be taking dimly lit photos too, ISO-200 may suit you better. One of my favorite color negative films is Fujicolor NPS Professional 160, which would be a nice compromise on film speed. Shy away from the faster film such as ISO-400 or 800 unless your very limited on light or need more depth of field.. These faster speed films will result in more grain in your enlargements.
