Thanks TB - I'll look into them. It looks like we won't be going during
those weeks. I didn't realize that it includes Easter and the Holy week.
Those nice little places that are $600/wk before and after are more than
double during that period. Combine that with spring break and I think we'll
put Mexico off until fall.
These all sound like nice ideas, and I'm keeping a list.
