Dream of having the beach to yourself?  Head to Mexico now! 

Canadian Foreign Affairs has lifted it’s travel warning for Mexico, and most Canadian tour operators are adding it back into their programs throughout the month of June.  It will take a while for the tourist traffic to reach the pre-H1N1 levels, so for the time being you will find incredible pricing and lots of elbow room!  The virus has barely affected the tourist regions and many areas have reported zero cases. 

This is a GREAT opportunity to take that trip you thought you couldn’t afford, or to try out a higher level of accommodation that you are used to.  Contact me for recommendations and to book your getaway.  I spent a week on the Mayan Riviera recently, and my pricing is the same or better than on-line.  Travelonly also has it’s own booking engine, featuring the best pricing available.

A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in South America, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is.

“This temple is 1503 years old”, replies the guide.

Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.

“Easy”, replies the guide, “the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago”

Costs of weddings are continually soaring, but there are exquisite and affordable options available to you! The typical destination wedding package, even with an added week for a honeymoon, often costs less than a seated dinner at the local country club. Besides being cost effective, destination weddings are very simple, as the on-site wedding coordinator takes care of all the details. Travelling to the Caribbean to say ‘I do’ also means your one special day turns into seven extraordinary days of celebration with family and friends. It is the chance to glide into married life stress-free and with a tan!

In July I spent a week in Mexico on the Mayan Riviera, touring hotels and experiencing the region.  Checking out potential vacation destinations is one of the ‘tough’ parts of my job!   The Mayan Riviera is truly a breathtaking slice of heaven, and there is a hotel that is perfectly suited for everyone.
