Thanks Lisa. I am very much in need of some "stress-relief" so I am looking forward to the escape.

Never been to the western side of Mexico, so no suggestions from me other than "Have a great and well deserved vacation."

im assuming this is the ixtapa right next to puerto vallarta? ive been twice... gorgeous little town, really nice waterfront. diving isnt great though so be wary if you plan on going.

Was there on the day of the dead which was rad... hope its as much fun without the festivities.

Carmen,

I don't think that you need to do anything to fit in a swimsuit, girl

That is sooooo exciting! You will love it.

That's just what the Westjet commercial says.

Never been but I've been to PV 3 times and Cancun once.

You'll enjoy yourself.

Lot's of the people that I know that go there find hotels when they arrive.

Have a great time and take lot's of pic's & yes I am jealous as well.

We have booked a condo - a tiny little place with a beautiful pool just off of the beacjh abit. Should be nice and private and price was good too!
We will take a bunch of pics! Always come back with a camera full!

Small and friendly with a nice beach. As for Ixtapa, I know nothing about it as we didn't go into it.

OH!! Awesome Lance!! I will have to do some research ino that and make sure I check it out! Even bring the snorkel gear maybe! Really looking forward to the sun and humidity...therapeutic!

We have been to Mazatlan twice and loved the beach there so I assume this will be similar...
Thanks!
