We’re polishing up the details in preparation to announce the Free 3-day “On-the-Ground” events in Campeche and Panama City, and we’re learning a lot about what people want from the same 3-Day totally free event we’re holding in Puerto Vallarta in October. That one is filling up fast… and you can click here for more details. It all really comes down to where you want to go.
We’re working on a similar event to be held, for free in Costa Rica, probably in November, and another for Mazatlan and probably in Ixtapa, soon after.
A lot of people have written, mostly in reply to the most recent newsletter, to ask how these can possibly be totally free events. The simple answer is, plenty of people are interested in having you take a look at Puerto Vallarta and at the other locations we’re featuring. Most of these will be 3 day events, some will be 4. We’re talking right now to people who are interested enough to get you 3 nights for free in a nice hotel in Puerto Vallarta so you can relax, get to know the area and then make an intelligent decision that you can’t make just by staring at pictures on the internet.

WestJet, one of Canada’s most affordable airlines, announced a few days ago that they’ve been approved by the Canadian Government to begin regularly scheduled service to San Jose del Cabo, Mazatlan, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and Manzanillo from Edmonton and Calgary, and to San Jose del Cabo and Manzanillo from Vancouver.
Travelers to Dominican Republic will also be getting some new service. Sol Dominicana is a new Brazilian airline that is set to start service in July of this year. Phase one calls for weekly flights (and some more frequent) between La Romana and Toronto, Berlin, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, as well as to cities in Brazil. Phase two will see flights from New York early next year.
A personal secret from your blogger… weird perhaps, but I love Airline Photos, for which there is simply no greater source anywhere than Airliners.Net! The WestJet Photo at top is from them, with thanks.

Just because you retire to Mexico, already a great travel and tourism destination, doesn’t mean you end up traveling any less. Seems every blog I turned to this weekend had more travel stories.
Mamahop records the family adventures Hopalog Travels around Veracruz from Xico to Xalapa and places in between. Similar meanderings were recorded at Viva Veracruz.
Flor y Canto provided great advice on getting to Atla and San Pablito in the Sierra de Puebla from Mexico City. It’s a bit of a trek and Flor y Canto’s new blog looks terrific.
Gwyn from Guadalajara took off for Tulum so you’ll want to keep an eye on his Flickr page. We’re expecting more great photos to show up there.
And who knew there are Two Tequisquipans? John’s excellent Mexico Woods blog explores them both, with terrific photography and I agree on choosing the second in Querétaro state, though he followed up today with still more to consider as far as hotels, water and food.

This is when starting an email news group pays off. Special thanks to one of our new members, sfviking_98, for posting these terrific photos in the photos section. The photos section is there for everyone to use, so sign up and post some. And since all of our users are new, thanks to everyone who has signed up in the past couple of days, too.
I haven’t been to Ixtapa for almost a year, but just a glance at this photo sends me right back. There is a lot to be said for a place that is still only partially developed that I think is evident in the top of that mountain. Maybe they built one too many condos here, but this is nothing like the problems you see in beachfronts that are truly over-developed. You know the ones I mean… Anyway, Ixtapa is not really partially wild or anything like that, but I think this photo gives you an idea of its being a little bit untamed, a little better than merely developed. I’ll be writing in the next few weeks about some of the efforts Mexico has made, since Cancun, to develop with more ecological sensitivity. There really are a lot success stories.
