Tanken om at kunne svmme alene med delfinerne efter lukketid var nsten for god til at vre sand men vi havde alt at vinde og intet at miste s vi lod os forfre af et klassisk mexicansk turistscoretrick og udve http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-427641.html After hours more in the car we made it north to Acapulco. We walked the beach front near the resort hotels at sunset as the crowds left to see what the hype was all about. It seemed to be more of a party resort but not as bad as Cancun. The scenery was pretty but everyone clearing out left piles of trash all over the sand.Pablo called family friends who had a vacation home here and voila http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-423181.html Acapulco hvor mndene kommer op at sls bare for at st ved siden af osTil alle jer der tror at Tsunami er forbeholdt Thailand kan vi fortlle at fnomenet ogs forekommer i Acapulco bugten Vi fik os noget af en overraskelse da vi en dag l i trance efter at have hengivet os til vores efterhnden faste massagedames blide kokosolieduftende hnder. Pludselig fik vi je p en stor blge de http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-418882.html We departed the Fairmont Acapulco Princess after a 3 day stay and took a taxi up the Costera Alleman to Las Brisas. It was unbelieveable to see all of the new construction that has taken place on this road since our last trip here in 2000.We turned right at the familiar white and pink wall entrance to Las Brisas and drove up the hill to reception. We were welcomed with their signature pink marga http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-386317.html We flew in on Aeromexico. I am still impressed by the seat comfort and service they provide on board. The cockpit staff and flight attendants are always friendly and cheerful. We breezed through immigration at the brand new terminal in Mexico City a big improvement over the old one. There were plenty of shopping eating and drinking diversions to keep us occupied for our 3hr. layover.We made http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-386174.html OK this was also a bunch of old photos from a year and a half ago right after Cuernavaca CHECK IT ALOTAFUN http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-383158.html This place is an amazing place to spring break I'm 21 years old and my and 8 of my girlfriends went to Acapulco for only 75 a night to stay here. And the year before my parents went there for a week no matter how old you are this place suits you. I wouldn't be blogging for no reason everyone This is a cheap afforadable place that realistically makes you feel like a millionaire. Look at the http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-367860.html Day 2 was rather uneventful the plane arrived on time we left on time and landed in a typical day in Acapulco. 30 Degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We excaped the gouging taxis fares just to discover no taxis would pick us up on the road outside the Airport. We decided to take a local chicken bus complete with holes in the floors and no glass in the windows. The Woman in front of us skillf http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-359483.html Having flown AA twice in the past 5 years and both times having issues with mechanical problems with the plane we werent surprised to find that when we arrived at the air port at 430 am that our flight had been cancelled due to mechanical problems. The first attendent placed us on stand by for another flight to Chicago but apon arriving at our gate we were informed we were dreaming if we thoug http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-358785.html Acapulco was fun. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-350459.html And so we are off on another worldly adventure. On May 16 we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge signaling the end of our 2008 world cruising. Six months later on November 16 we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge on our way to Los Angeles to begin our next round of cruising. We certainly enjoyed our time on terra firma and made several trips in the United States. We visited family and friends i http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-349182.html visit http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-337472.html Toni and I decided to get off the ship early in the morning because we had docked rather early. When we got off the ship it was raining but I didnrsquot really care. It was refreshing to be off the ship so early. We didnrsquot start back until about 2pm which was awesome. We went to have some food before getting off the ship. As soon as we got through the terminal we were confronted by a huge http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-326795.html Thursday March 27 2008Acapulco Adventure Category Travel and Places This is a few months back when I wrote this along with some of my entries please keep in mind the location and date. Typing this back in San Diego after my trip to Acapulco Mexico.Anyway so I completely thought we were leaving Thursday mornin http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-321111.html www.ourholidaytravel.comacapulcoacapulco.htmAcapulco It is best to fly to Acapulco because it is easier and quicker. The fares are quite reasonable especially if you buy your flight tickets while you are in Mexico. You can always find great discount prices on fares as well Acapulco is an old city with picturesque bays on Mexico's Pacific coast. When we got on the taxi from the airport the rid http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-303380.html If Cuernevaca is the city of the Eternal Spring and as many down here claim the most beautiful and most forgotten city in all of Mexico they must never have been to Acapulco. After a week of intense and I say that with no exaggeration whatsoever spanish classes we all could use a break. Although the appeal of the sand and the sun would later turn out not as relaxing as expected our itinera http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-285596.html Along with a couple of people from Angela's Hostel we took the bus to Acapulco which was a 5 hour ride. We proved that we are hardcore backpackers by walking to the bus station in the heat of the midday sun. On hindsight this was probably not the best idea as it was really hot and by the end of it Kiki's face was red like a tomato for about an hour. Luckily it was not a sunburn but a case of over http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-269814.html Acapulco...town of chickens on the beach I have to admit its not my favorite place. By a long shot Its extremely humid for one But more importantly its dirty its ugly its polluted and there is FAR too much traffic Even the old town doesnt have that much charm...the zocalo is reasonable but the markets are horrible its bad enough being harssed to buy something at every step but having it do http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-266395.html We were wellsituated to watch the eclipse on the 20th. It was wonderful to see it from AcapulcoWe spent our last full day in Acapulco exploring the new part of the city and some of the oldest. We walked part of the main Acapulco beach where the high rise hotels are and Spring Break happens. The beaches were crowded in spots and open in others. There were parasailing outfits all along th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-249053.html Well we corrected our mistake and took a bus back to Acapulco yesterday. We are staying at a beach resort in the faded grandeur of old Acapulco...we are right on a little beach in a hotel that has seen better days but is clean and has a pool beach chairs although the Italian Canadians who are here en masse snag most of them at sunrise and a beautiful view.We are among the youngest people http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Mexico/Guerrero/Acapulco/blog-248416.html
