It's Vacation Time - Mexico, Here I Come!

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.mayanpalace.com/nuevo/' target='_blank'>http://www.mayanpalace.com/nuevo/</a><br /><br /></div>This post is going live at 4 AM on Saturday morning, which is the time I'm going to be falling out of bed and heading off to the Calgary airport. Once there, I'll be heading down to Nuevo Vallarta for a seven-day Christmas vacation with my family. I don't take vacations very often, and this is my first "Christmas Vacation", so I hope it turns out better <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097958/">than this movie I watched on Thursday night</a>. ;-)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/sombrero.gif" /><br /><br />I'll be mostly offline - I'll be bringing my Smartphone, my iPAQ 4150, and my Fujitsu P5010D. I'm not planning on doing any "real" work, and even if I manage to get a GPRS signal with my Smartphone (does <a href="http://www.fido.ca">Fido</a> have GPRS roaming agreements in Mexico I wonder?), I think I'll stay disconnected. So if you don't hear back on an email message, that's why. I'm going to enjoy myself, so don't destroy the place while I'm gone. ;-)

Quick! Someone go get a keg, it's party time. Dad's away :lol:

That's a great plan. Enjoy the nice warm sun. Our family has been talking about a Christmas vacation in Cuba. One of these years, I hope we actually do it.

Have a jolly good time! :D :)

Living here in the good ole USofA, a vacation in Cuba is out of the question but right now with the temperature and wind chill dropping everyday here in Michigan, I wouldn't mind stowing away in Jason's suitcase. I swear the sun never shines during the winter months here. Jason have a great vacation. Hope you snag some sun filled pics to share with us stuck here in the snow.

Ya, Canadians can travel to Cuba. It was one of the best vacations I've been on.

Never been to Mexico, but I've heard lots of good things about it.

Our summers are like that :)

Jason,

A well-deserved vacation. My wife and I spent a week in Puerto Vallarta a few years ago and spent one of those days in Nuevo. It is a fantastic place to spend some time. If memory serves, Puerto is only a small cab ride away from Nuevo, and it's likely the closest place to do some shopping. If you find yourselves in Puerto Vallarta, I highly recommend a restaurant called Pi Pi's. Great mexican cuisine (and lots of it), with magarita's that will knock your socks off. And BTW, the service was FANTASTIC.

Enjoy your holiday with your family. You've earned it.

Nice to have you here Jason, hope you have excellent vacations!!!, If you need any advice please ask for anything you want. Saludos!!!! Jacobo. (Don´t drink too much Coronas!!! :beer: :D :wink:

[Candygogo]

I know you're on the plane now, and won't get this message (read it when you get back!) :wink: but I'll have a great vacation!

[RKosin]

Lucky guy...what happen to shop til you drop :)

[foldedspace]

Just remember one thing:

100% agave

accept nothing less...

[Jon Westfall]

Enjoy your vacation, just don't drink the water.

[toxostoma]

Have fun Jason.

I too am going to Mexico, for three weeks! I leave the day after Christmas. My companions and I will be spending most of our time in Guerrero and Oaxaca... It's a biology trip. The main focus is on birds, but we'll also spend some time photographing butterflies. Anything else that moves and reproduces is fair game too.

I've been to Mexico several times and love the country. We're driving though 8O. Its gonna take me a full day of driving just to get to the border. (I'm in Texas but I've got to pick up friends at the airport in Dallas and then Houston). And then another three days straight driving to get to southern Mexico. It's the price to pay for visiting such a great place.

DONT DRINK THE WATER !!!
I know from experience :pukeface:
The emoticon above is missing the other way out of the body :D

We went to a really neat local resturant that had great food, but we ate something that had a lot of the local tap water in it and boy let me tell ya, I've NEVER been through anything like that before. I've had the stomach flu and the runs before, but not like this. We did not eat or drink for the rest of the trip !!!
