Question about destinations in Mexico?

Amanda M asked:


Hello!
My family will go going on a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Mexican Riviera in April and I just wondered about some of the cities. We will be stopping in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. I know that there are shore excursions you can sign up for through the cruise line, but we are looking at doing some things on our own.
My biggest question is if there are any kind of ruins in these cities? I know that there are tons on the other coast of Mexico, but I just wondered if there were some on the West coast.

Thanks for the info!!

I’m confused as to whether this e-mail is genuine or not?

Jelly Snake. asked:


I recived an e-mail today from poetry.com telling me that my poem is to be presented at some convention. I’m really confused as to whether or not it’s real, or just a scam.
Here’s part of the e-mail:
We recently informed you that you and your poetic accomplishments could have been honored during the International Society of Poets Convention recently held at the legendary Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 24 –27, 2008, even though you were unable to attend.

Please note that because so many of our selected poets took advantage of this opportunity, we have extended the time for you to elect to receive your 2008 awards and benefits of ISP membership. All that is necessary is for you to allow us to present one of your poems at our next convention and for you to elect to receive all of the awards and benefits of ISP membership that we have scheduled for you.

It goes on and on, but that’s the jist of it. What should I do? I don’t know whether or not to believe it or not. Do you think it’s genuine? Honestly, I thought my poems were a bit sloppy so I hardly image that they are worth this. Help!?
So it is fake. Right, ok thanks! I wouldn’t have payed, but it made me so curious!

Mexican real estate?

avaheli asked:


I am interested in buying some real estate in Mexico and I have a couple questions:

1. Does anyone think that Hurricane Dean will affect real estate values on the Mayan Riviera?

2. Is the 99 year lease issued to foreigners who want land usage in Mexico fairly secure or are there issues about eminent domain, land use, etc.

Any other issues you think I should be aware of or advice you have for a first time buyer looking in Mexico would be appreicaited.

What is spring break season like while living in Daytona Beach?

SHERINA asked:


I am moving from a quaint, little Ohio town to Daytona/Ormond Beach, Florida for work. I am really excited for this move, however, I am a tad bit leery about spring break. I hear that the area becomes overrun with students, parties, fights, and loud music that will still be thumping at 3 AM. Is this true? Does anyone live in the Daytona area (or any popular spring break area) that has any suggestions?

Where should I go for Spring Break that is affordable?

pixie_vixen117 asked:


I am planning a trip for my boyfriend and I for spring break between the dates of March 25th to April 2nd. The trip is not for the whole time, but anywhere in between those dates. We are going to fly from either St. Louis or KC Missouri and we are looking to spend around $500 to no more then $1000 on everything including travel and activities there. We can drive if it is anywhere within a day away. Any ideas?

Where in florida should i go for Spring Break?

Andy asked:


I am currently planning a trip for Spring Break. I currently live in Tampa, FL, so I am not interested in going to Clearwater since I live 10mins from it. I’m interested in going partying, drinking, bars/clubs, and getting some sun on the beach. I am also not looking to spend a fortune. I’ve been to Daytona and it’s alright. I’m currently leaning towards Key West. Any opinions? I am kind of weiry about Key West because I heard it’s a big spot for gay people, which I have no problem with, but I don’t want to go if it’s exclusively gay.

Need Your Help On Traveling & Vacation Ideas~?

NikaLynn asked:


Me & my family are considering taking a vacation sometime in mid October or November. Last year we took a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. It was fun but way too long on a boat. This year we do not want to spend as much but want to get away for about 4 to 5 days max.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go or what to do? We want something fun, relaxing and also, a place that will keep teens entertained as I will have my girls with me.

One thing to add we have always dreamed of one day going to Hawaii but feel its probably way out of our league. Does anyone know of some bargains or discounts to where we can possibly take a vacation there sometime? Me & my two daughters have never fllown in an airplane either. So we are clueless when it comes to flying.

We spent about approxamatly $3000 or more for the cruise and this year funds are a bit tight so we don’t want to spend that much.
The Hawaii thing most likely will have to be in the far future
But~
I am all ears
