There are many hot spots and favorites as far as spring-breakers and summer vacationers go and many thought after Hurricane Wilma in 2006 that Cancun would be out of the running for a while. Surprise! They are almost completely back and are ready for the massive influx of students that come every spring and tourists that visit every summer.
Yep, this little slice of Mexico that has always been full of mayhem and spring breakers usually found in March and April is primed for Margarita madness in all its glory. Everyone doing his or her own thing on beautiful beaches as well as in some very, very late night establishments or jump on a ferry going to Cozumel. Or, if you prefer a little more of a quaint or sedate setting (Ok, not many spring breakers will really want to know this, so this is for the rest of you) try going 90 miles south to Tulum. It has a great beach and is more of a quaint spot and with its generated power lights out is around 10:00pm, which cuts significantly into night-life, thus not many spring breakers go there, but it is a great place for either spring break or summer vacation. So, are you ready for spring break or your summer vacation? What's it going to be, Cancun or Cozumel? Whichever location you choose, or even an entirely different place you need to check on the travel requirements. Now, when traveling between the United States and Mexico (as well as several other locations) requires having a passport, make sure your passport meets the traveling new guidelines.

Are you familiar with Cinco de Mayo? It is on the 5th of May and commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla. But it is also recognized in other parts of Mexico or in US cities with a significant Mexican population.
Or perhaps you are familiar with Mexico's Independence Day celebrated on September 16th. The historic day when Father Hidalgo rang the church bells and shouted to the peasants "Mexicanos, Viva Mexico". Both of these dates are extremely important in the Mexican culture as you would expect. There are celebrations that range from the most elaborate to the smallest family gathering, all equally important. If you have been considering a vacation to Mexico either of these dates would result in a fascinating trip. On September 15th they decorate their homes, cars and anything else that can be seen with their flags. They gather outside to celebrate a military parade. If you join them for a taste of their culture and food, you will not be disappointed. Before traveling be sure to check the new laws that are in effect concerning travel between the US and Mexico. At one time you did not need a passport for this type of travel but so much has changed, to be sure you have the most current information you may want to get in touch with a company that specializes in obtaining travel documents, ensuring you will have everything you need to help Mexico celebrate.

Spring has sprung and many travelers are gearing up for those spring breaks and summer vacations. What about you, have you decided what or where it will be this year?
What about a cruise? There are some really great deals on cruises and they travel to so many different locations. A cruise gives you a chance to enjoy a wider range of experiences. Some cruise lines have cruises for singles only, or seniors only. Looking for a honeymoon cruise? They are abundant and offer some really great extras! There are also many cruise lines that offer family cruises so that everyone gets a chance to enjoy the cruise. For example, there is a cruise that departs from Galveston, Texas on a 13 night transatlantic cruise. You would cruise into Florida for a few days and then on to Ponta Delgado, Azores, Portugal. Spend a few more days cruising going through the Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia and then to Barcelona, Spain. Sounds great, doesn't it? And, a cruise is loaded with extra activities and adventures for the days at sea. The staterooms offered are everything from a suite to a smaller suite and the amenities are numerous. Some of these ocean liners have ice-skating rinks, Olympic size pools and all types of entertainment. Whether you are 5 or 50+ there is something for you. When you book your cruise be sure to ask about the type of travel documents you may need. Remember that even if the cruise-line itself does not require a passport for the trip, it is still a good idea to make sure you have one with you. For example, if you miss any of the departures you may need to catch a flight somewhere in order to get back on track with the cruise. Or, if you were to have some type of emergency where you had to depart unexpectedly by plane, you want to make sure you have all the documents required. You may want to check out their Health/Inoculation requirements before leaving also. This is a lot of information to take in and remember; perhaps one of the best things to do is contact a company that specializes in travel document procurement. That is your best bet on making sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your vacation and also in case of an emergency. Putting your mind at ease to enjoy the cruise experience.
