Thoughts on the $1000-1500 question

One of the problems with request like this is the globally nature of blogging. I’d craft my response around the location of the requester. So I know it’s bad to assume but I’m going to assume that you’re local.
My 1st thoughts are of the west coast of Mexico, Ixtapa-Zihuatenjo in particular.
Go to www.visitimexico.com and click on the destination tab then select Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo. These sister cities offer splendid beaches, modern resorts, a sleepy lost in time fishing village, unique shopping, a lush plush tropical jungle setting plus much, much more. Off the tourist t rail these venues are not teeming with tourists like Cancun, Cozumel or Acapulco.
Continental Airlines flies here so visit www.covacations.com or better yet stop by or call a local travel agent.
FYI: A passport will be required for this destination. I’ll talk more on passports later.
This was my 1st thought and I have a few more but again I need some more information. Task a look at my posting that talks about the 4 Wise men & Howie.
