Ive never stayed at the resort the committee has chosen, but I have
stayed at 2 all inclusive resorts in Mexico and 1 in Barbados and none
offered a discounted pay as you go rate. They simply were not set up
to take cash at the bars or at the main restaurants.. (they usually
have additional restaurants that are not included in the all inclusive

We are going to research this and see what we can find.
Nothing is set in stone yet. Were going to see what better offers we
can get!

Taking off my committee hat here...
I dont think i've ever spent less than $1000 on a C* when I am there
for 4 days. Maybe someone could show me how? ;)
Flights might come down next year but right now it's really expensive
to fly! It costs almost 400 buck to fly from Chicago to California!!
OK, back on!

Okay...got a devil's advocate question for you, relating to finances.
Based on per night figures on the proposal's website, I'd be looking
at spending around $540 for four nights of lodging (at the least -- I
usually do Sunday-Tuesday). A quick search of July/August 2010
airfares on Kayak indicates that I can expect to spend around

Always a good thing.
Fortunately, if you read it, the travel alert specifies
Cozumel is over 1000 miles away from all of those states. The State
Department does not consider travel to Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan or
Quintana Roo [1] to warrant undue caution.
As for region specific information:

From my point of view, it's hard to do a werewolf story well. They turn out
silly, or are just gory. I mean, most are pretty predictable- moon gets
full, person turns into wolf and kills people. Turns back to human, doesn't
remember anything.

I don't think you need one to re-enter the US from it's colonies -
just if you actually leave the empire.
I endorse this comment. There's no getting in to Canada if you don't.

I took my family to Puerto Vallarta over Thanksgiving, and never
felt unsafe.
Usually the resort is in a compound outside of the city center, and
has security. You will be completely safe inside the resort grounds,
and you won't have to leave the grounds all weekend unless you want
to (thats part of the all inclusive thing)

Cozumel remains safe from the drug cartel. There are no quick get away
routes for them to escape!
The locals are friendly and helpful and want your business.
There is a naval base on the island. There is a strong military
presence don't be alarmed.
I have friends that spend the winters there, they just got back (I

As someone with Mexican family members who will NOT go to Mexico
because of the risks, let me step in here for a second.
1) Yes, Mexico is very dangerous right now. People are killed and
kidnapped daily, and they're not just targeting people involved with
the mafia and drug cartels anymore -- they kill civilians and

It's kind of heartbreaking, but I remember how much of a pain it was when
this group was getting 2000+ messages a day. :P It was crazy trying to keep
