As an employee of NWA WorldVacations, I recently had the privledge of attending the opening ceremony for the new Secrets Maroma Beach Resort in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico. What a great place for those seeking Mexico vacations! The resort was beautiful in the evening, lit by candles and torches. Though it was pouring rain outside, we still managed to enjoy the event. We were entertained by local performers and acrobats as fabulous appetizers were served on silver platters by a wait staff dressed in black tie uniforms. No detail was forgotten. There were even umbrellas available to keep guests dry during the unexpected tropical storm!

A travel story by - Rose D.
My husband and I have traveled to Mexico several times and decided that we wanted to experience the Yucatan Peninsula as free spirits.
We flew out of Minneapolis on a blustery January day. A direct flight to Cancun, we arrived 4 hours later to the warmth of the Mexican sun. We rented a car and headed south. Who would have thought that just hours before we were in below zero weather? We peeled off our winter clothes and we were feeling first hand the Kenny Chesney song “No shoes, No Shirt, No Problems!”

Whether you are taking a family vacation on a warm, sunny beach or traveling to Washington, D.C. for a first-hand lesson in American history, you will have more fun and relax easier if you plan ahead using these travel tips:
Book early - When you book early, you can take advantage of early booking discounts, special hotel offers - not to mention the dates you need to fit into your children’s school schedule.
Choose a family friendly destination - You may not want a destination that features discos and nightclubs if your children go to bed at 8 pm. Instead you will want plenty of entertaining daytime activities or historical/cultural learning opportunities.

Heading to Mexico?
If so, you are not alone. Mexico is the top spring break destination this year, which is no surprise due to the beautiful beaches, awesome resorts, and fun activities.
We’ve compiled a few travel tips to help you prepare for your trip:
- Bring $1 bills for tipping maids, bellman, and bartenders as getting change in U.S. dollars for larger bills may be difficult. The tips are included at most all-inclusive resorts but you tend to get outstanding service for the duration of your vacation when you give the wait staff and bartenders extra tips early on and throughout your stay.

My husband and I, along with another couple visited Manzanillo, Mexico recently (Feb. 22-Mar 1 ‘08). We had never traveled there so it was a new experience for us. Our flights were all on time and pleasant so we enjoyed a full week at the all-inclusive Karmina Palace.

One of my favorite trips of all time was a week-long vacation to the Riviera Nayarit, Mexico with my best friend. One of the highlights of our trip was a day excursion to a small surfing village north of Puerto Vallarta called Sayulita. We caught a city bus near our hotel, which took us to the town of Bucerias. There’s a little market there for shopping while you wait for another bus to Sayulita. The ride there was probably around 20 minutes, but totally worth it. The town is this sleepy little village with a few shops and restaurants (we had ribs, tacos, nachos and beer for 2 and it cost us $10 with tip).

It happens every year around this time. It is cold – so cold. I am extremely busy at work. I am on my third winter cold, and I simply need a change in pace. The only remedy in sight is a vacation to somewhere warm. Similar to the past few years, I have a vacation in Mexico on my mind. My husband and I like that it is not a long plane trip, we get the ocean, some relaxation, and let’s be honest — we love all-inclusive resorts. You really can’t beat sitting by the beach or pool, having a cocktail (at any time!), eating all you want (at any time!), and not even leaving the resort if you don’t want to.
