for mexico…check out
go to the riveria maya section… several hot deals on now
“ocean coral and turquesa” in Puerto Morelas is about $170/night per couple all inclusive.

dominican republic. Punta Cana. Barcelo beach resort. $150 per couple per night all inclusive.

been to both places. both are great.

either case airfare will probably be really expensive. unless you drive to Minneapolis St Paul. In which case travelocity has a flight for $549 each to punta cana and $403 to cancun for that time frame… better hurry…

and fyi, if I remember correctly the is about a $40 landing tax that you have to pay in cash when you land in PUJ if you decide to go there…the Cancun landing fee of $96 is included in the ticket price..

First of all it is important to know where you live.

Did you post this question multiple times for a reason???

Very good question.

There are 2 categories..

1. Book well ahead. That way you get precisely the resort and departure dates that you need to have or want.

2. Last minute, which you guys are. The way the thing works is that the agent/carrier/hotel have those airplane seats and hotel rooms empty until someone buys them. When that plane takes off with an empty seat, they have made zero.
They would rather make something than nothing. So later is better in this game, but your choices of resorts and departure dates will be very limited. If you have that flexibility, then go ahead and do the absolute last minute thing.
It would help if you have done all your research, so that you will recognize a bargain if you see it.

Good luck, go find that deal.

Yeah your brilliant their improving our country not theirs. Are you out there working on the road, or digging ditches for cable for us to have the necessities to get us through our daily lives. Besides have you ever been to those beaches there are alot of Americans that live and visit there. All the Mexicans I know are taken advantage of by people like you.

Then we would be no better than the illegals.

I go to Cancun very often I have never seen bad guys or had spicy foods.
My favorite food is Mexican. I do not eat “chile” and I always have wonderful meals. Not all the Mexican food is spicy.
There are hundreds of wonderful restaurants where you will enjoy local meals.
Don´t forget to swim with dolphins and go snorkeling near Isla Mujeres (Women Island, next to Cancun). Also take your mom for her birthday to snorkel to the underground caves called Cenotes and visit the Xcaret Ecological Park.
So much fun, lots of things to do….
Have a wonderful trip and hope your mom will have a wonderful time there.

So you would go to war with our neighbour and probably the rest of the world, just because you are too lazy to do the crappy jobs that most illegals do?

I guess the answer to this question depends on mainly your finances. What are you able to afford? Then again, if your even suggesting cruises then you have a bit of money to work with. Here is a cheaper suggestion:

Bell Witch cave: located off of Highway 41 North in Adams, Tennessee.

430 Keysburg Road

The cave can be found by turning right after the Bell School and taking Keysburg Rd. until you see the sign for the cave.

Or by turning left just after the store, if you are coming from the North side of town.

About weather, check before you leave. You can just google “cancun weather”. Right now, it has highs of 90 with lows of 75.

If you’re planning on staying at the resort most of the time, I’d imagine that you won’t get many chances to sample a lot of different types of food. At these resorts, choices are usually on the safer (blander) side. If you want to try something a little more interesting, go to Labna or La Habichuela in downtown Cancun. It is an easy cab ride away. Cancun is a ‘free port’, which means that there’s a lot of duty free shops. La Isla and Plaza Caracol are the nicest shopping centers.

Cancun is generally a safe place, just general precautions should be enough. Have fun!

There’s really not much to do to prepare, just be ready for an excellent vacaton in a warm tropical place. You do not need to be concerened about any bad people, just use your common sense and you’ll be fine. As far as the food, at most AI resorts, they prepare the food to be mostly neutral in spice and flavor. Therefore, the only thing you really need to know is that even though the water is purified, there are still microrganisms that as northerners, we are not used to. Therefore, you should try to eat yogurt every day to help your digestive system stay regular. If you are concerened about your reaction to the rich foods and the water, there’s something more you can do. I recommend you investigate a natural product that does the same thing for your body that yogurt does, it’s called Acidophilus. You can find it at most health food stores, it comes in pill form, and really does the trick for traveler’s stomach. The final thing to look out for is when you book a tour, make sure that they offer a cancelation and rescheduling policy. Most of the travel agents at the resorts do not offer this option. Therefore, if you do a little homework and book your tours online before you travel, you can not only find these features but lower prices as well. I recommend you find Entertainment Plus or Cancun Valet and see what they offer, read the fine print and either get the tours now or later, whichever is more convenient for you.

Have fun planning your vacation in paradise,

Wow you have a laundry list of questions don’t you?

Did you not do any research on Cancun before you booked this vacation?

The weather in Cancun this time of year is highs around 86 and lows around 72, mainly sunny, but with building clouds. As to the food, it’s Mexican what more do you need to know, but you can also get typical American fare if you are in a resort, but why go to Mexico and not try the local food, it really is very good and not everything is spicey. I don’t know where you live in the US, but trust me the “Bad Guys” are no worse in Cancun than anywhere in the US so just use some common sense and you will be fine.

Enjoy the vacation.

wow you are a lucky mother of few who get alone time from the kids. I would go to a spa and treat myself if i had a free week.

you can go to cancun.
El Gala, my cousins loved it and me tooo

Hello,
How are you? I recommend Montego Bay, Jamaica. I can further assist you if you were to contact me, as I am a travel agent.

What ever the age of your child if you go on a Royal Carribean cruise they and therefore you will have a wonderful time. Enjoy

that has to be the stupidest idea ever!

you know i cant believe i didn’t think of this……..this is a very good idea, it would be a good idea, but we would charge american tourists way more money to visit there than mexacins do, so visitors would be less

LUCKY!!!!! I am so jealous of you, but also happy that you have some time for yourself for a change.
I caution you though: Don’t have too good of a time or you might not want to come back!!!LOL
Go where ever you want, do whatever you want as long as you want!
Congrats on having a week off!
Have a little bit of fun or tip your drink to the other moms out here who wish we could get some time off!!!!!!!
