jose says thrifty has really good rates. we are renting from thrifty in cabo because they happen to have a rental office at the westin where we're staying. in general, he told me the other day that renting a car in MX can be very expensive. and yeah, you should get the insurance just in case.

for your cell phone, at&t has international calling plans. i have tmobile, and its an unlocked gsm phone (blackberry pearl). when im down in mx city, i'm able to pick up a signal from telcel and one other carrier usually. if you call your cell carrier before you go down there, ask about turning on your international calling plan (which is often free) so that you dont get roaming charges.

mandy i think you have my personal email already but always feel free to email me if you have a question if i dont respond quickly on the forum! work is getting crazy lately and i get behind on posts and dont always see stuff until a few days later.

Sorry, girls! I am back, and have been scrambling at work ever since. You know how that happens after a vacation. Apparently my doctor has decided that since we didn't work for that week, we have lost money and need to make it up now.

 

Anyway, we had a great time! Because of Semana Santa (Holy week), everything closed for 2 weeks. Don't ask me, I guess Mexicans don't like to work in the springtime. I didn't find a job, and Isaac didn't get to talk to the school, but we did look at a few houses. Most important, Isaac realized that it may be a better idea to rent a house rather than buy one. I guess he had to figure it out for himself! We also rented a car and found our way around the city. By the way, it's a huge city, if you weren't aware.

 

I'll try to re-locate my camera tonight and figure out how to post pics. We'll see how this goes. Thanks girls!

Well, I lived in Nicaragua, so I knew about Semana Santa. The problem came when we went the week after Semana Santa, and everything was still closed and anyone who might have been working was still at the beach. Should have known.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
