I have a ton of frequent flier miles and want to go to Cuba (I'm an
american citizen but I do have a license).  The problem is that I can't
use my FF miles to go directly from the USA to Havana.  Thus I was
thinking of going from here to Mexico, Toronto, Jamaica, or whatever

In September I am going to Ecuador. Here I want to learn Spanish,
preferably in a small mountain town rather than in Quito. All I can
find on the web are the big international language schools in Quito or
other 'big' town in Ecuador.

There are some cabanas just outside of the ruins, perhaps in Calcehtok.
Does anybody know of these and have contact info?
Best,

I was just wonderin' how the women scene in cancun is in October. I
know it's not gonna be anywhere close to spring break, so just wanna
know if it's really that bad or semi-descent with the females n
all...ne help is much appreciated.

OK, in January my wife and I start an adventure in S America, starting
in Lima. As we travel on, we will find our own accommodation en route,
but it would be good to know that we have a good friendly hotel in
Lima to start us off for a few days. We are budget travelling so it

I have it narrowed down to the Golden Tulip Ipanema Plaza or the Praia
Ipanema, can anyone suggest one over the other?  Price is not a factor
as they are both the same.  I am going for 5 nights over x-mas with my
brother(both in our late 20's) unfortunately unable to stay for New

I haven't really done a lot of searches on this - didn't know where to
start. We just can't afford a "tour" of S. America that goes where we
want to go. So I'm wondering if we can "do it ourselves" as we have in
Europe, Canada, and Mexico.

I just launched my personal website which includes a few galleries
from my travels in Mexico (Mexico City, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Jalisco)
and Buenos Aires, Argentina if anyone has an interest in seeing them.
I'm a photojournalist by profession, but the trips were for pleasure,

I have to be in Sao Paulo for about a week in late September but I'm low in
cash and I'm wondering where I might be able to find the best price for a
roundtrip ticket. Your suggestions on where I might find a good deal is
greatly appreciated. Best,  Marc

Speak English mostly and was going on a trip this fall to Argentina and was
wondering if there would be a language problem?
Thanks so much...and some reasonable hotel sites for me to surf.  Thanks

I've been doing some searching, but I haven't been able to come up
with any decent information that is current on bus service between C.
Juarez and Hermosillo. Does someone have the websites of any of the
bus companies that operate out of C. Juarez? We're looking for 1st

My wife and I are going back to Costa Rica for the 2nd time in August.
However, we are flying into Liberia this time instead of San Juan but are
leaving from San Juan.  I did get a car rental from National Car Rental
which is at the Best Western in Liberia.
