Park West reminder, Mexico vacation deals
First, a reminder that I have someone at Park West who will answer our questions. I've only got one so far so please add a few if there's anything you ever wanted to know about buying art (especially on a cruise). I'm sending the question(s) in a few days so post them now please.
Next, we have Mexico vacation deals in the news. USA Today has 6 deals - the first one sounds really good - Isla Holbox or Holbox Island where you have undeveloped beach, kayaking, and nature viewing. The hotel they suggest is only $65/night.
And a press release on a website that offers Mexican vacations:

It is very dangerous in Mexico at the moment due to drug wars. I would advise any one thinking about going there, no matter how good the deal , not to go. Colleges are advising their students not to travel there for Spring Break.
Posted by: sherry speece at February 28, 2009 3:14 AMMexico has much to offer, but the drug trade is replacing tourism as a more profitable venture. It is unfortunate that drug cartels are able to legally purchase weapons in the U.S. to be carried across the border. Although it is illegal to carry them into Mexico, it is being done - money is a strong persuader. We must continue to help Mexico in their fight against crime and corruption; they cannot do it alone. We need to support NAFTA, secure the borders, and the coastlines. Cooperation between the two countries is essential, not only for tourism, but also for the oil, agricultural products, and the many other natural resources we need and that Mexico can provide. This would be money well spent.
