I want to go to mexico but don’t want to spend alot of money. What is a good website to find cheap flights. We want to leave in January. So please help me
Go to "SellOffVacations" You can check out the dates and the prices. It will also show you pictures of the hotel and tell you how many "stars" they are rated. I wouldn’t take less than a 4* or it might be a bit of a dump.

Author: admin
Slasher Film DVD - The vengeful curse of a 19th Century Mexican land baron reaches through time to place the grip of death on a contemporary college student in director Rich Ragsdale’s tale of a love most gruesome. It was a long time ago that wealthy land baron El Charro lusted after the most beautiful woman in the land, but his motives were impure and the woman’s firm rejection is simply more than his fragile psyche can take. Driven to psychosis by his unrequited love, the unhinged baron embarks on a brutal killing spree before placing a curse on the unattainable beauty’s entire bloodline. Flash forward to modern times, and a young college girl begins to experience terrifying dreams of death. When she and her hard partying group of friends hit the road for a wild trip down to Mexico for a much-needed vacation, the discovery of El Charro’s reanimated corpse leads the nightmare-plagued college student to realize that she is a direct descendent of the beauty who once spurned the determined land baron. Now the baron is back to claim the one love who refused to take his hand in life, and he isn’t above dispatching a few of her closest friends in order to accomplish his nefarious goal. - The Curse of El Charro (DVD)

Author: admin
MOVIE DVD - A couple’s marriage is nearly destroyed by their attempts to save it in this farcical comedy. Dan and Valerie Edwards (Frank Sinatra and Deborah Kerr) are a couple who have been married for close to 20 years. Dan, a busy but successful advertising executive, believes they have a happy relationship, but Valerie feels stifled and thinks her once fun-loving husband has become a bore. Valerie consults a lawyer, Shad Nathan (John McGiver), about a divorce, but Nathan suggests she give things one more try, and recommends a romantic second honeymoon to put the spark back in their relationship. Following his advice, Valerie books a vacation in Mexico; Dan agrees to join her, but once they arrive south of the border, they encounter Miguel Santos (Cesar Romero), an overzealous shyster lawyer who grants them a divorce before they’re entirely aware of what’s happening. Dan and Valerie take the matter in stride and decide to use it as an opportunity to renew their vows, but just prior to their ceremony, Dan is called away on business. Dan asks his best friend, Ernie Brewer (Dean Martin), a devil-may-care ladies’ man, to keep Valerie company until he gets back; however, as Ernie tries to explain to Valerie and Miguel that the wedding is off, he finds he’s just become Valerie’s new husband. Valerie, angry at Dan’s sudden disappearance, decides not to divorce Ernie right away, while Ernie, who has long been infatuated with Valerie, is torn between his feelings for her and his loyalty to Dan. Marriage on the Rocks also features guest appearances by Nancy Sinatra and Trini Lopez; keep an eye peeled for DeForest Kelley in a bit part. - Frank Sinatra: the Golden Years (DVD)

Mail this postHow do I convince my friend to come to Mexico?
Author: admin
My family and I are going to Mexico for Spring Break in March next year. We are staying in a condo in Mazatlan. I asked a girl friend of mine to come with me and she was all excited about it. Today, on the other hand, she was telling me how people are telling her it is really dangerous down there right now. I am trying to tell her that, yes there are area’s in Mexico that are dangerous, but we are going to be no where near those areas and that where we are staying is actually a protected tourist area. Despite all this she is still nervous about it. I’ve also told her how my parents have been there before and there is no way we would be going if it wasn’t safe. I know she wants to go, she just needs to hear some good info to convince her that its okay. She’s a worry-wart, lol. What can I tell her to make her calm down?
Tell her the truth, media lives of blood and scandals, they love those stories and many times people that talk about the so called by Americans "war" against drugs, which is not a war thank God but a constant effort to get rid of bad guys, well those journalists have never even been to Mexico.
News do not make de distinction between a town or even part of a town, against the vast territory that our country has.
All is relative, look at the table in this page:
http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm
it says 16,929 murders happened in the US in 2007, and look at this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/latin_america/newsid_7763000/7763945.stm
2,700 murders happened in Mexico during the same period of time.
Is that a reason for me not to go shopping or enjoying what your country has to offer? Is that a reason to say the US are extremely violent and dangerous? I don’t think so, it would encourage me to use my common sense, be wise, not get lost, stay in touristic or nice areas. You should do the same in any country you are visiting.
Hope that helps and enjoy your trip.

For the 1998 edition of its guide to the best golf facilities, Golf Digest asked its readers to rank every course they played in the previous year according to “overall golf experience, the value for the money, and the standard of service at the facility.” The results, comprehensive enough to sate even the most information-hungry player, are collected in this thorough guide that is sure to be valued by duffers and pros alike. A quick peek at the opening section reveals rankings for “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses 1997-98″ (Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey and Augusta National, home of the Masters tournament, come out on top), “The Five Star Courses,” great-value and good-value facilities, and facilities offering great and good service. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find listings for 5,000 courses in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the islands–Abaco and Aruba to Tobago and the Turks and Caicos. Each listing includes the rating, from one to five stars, as well as such information as the course phone number and approximate directions, instructions for booking a tee time, number of holes on the course, whether golf carts are available and what the walking policy is, the length of the season, green fees, and whether metal spikes are allowed. Trivia buffs will enjoy learning when each course opened and who the architect was, in addition to the par, yardage, U.S. Golf Association course rating, and slope. All of this is complemented by comments from Golf Digest readers. The King’s North Course at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club in South Carolina, for example, is described as one of the “top of the line public courses…. Most memorable hole: par 5 with island fairway…. Arnie [Palmer] did a fantastic job…. Course much tougher after redesign, some tricked up holes.” With facts, figures, and the inside lowdown from players around the world, Golf Digest’s Places to Play surely is “as essential to golf as your favorite putter.”
