ROCKY POINT!

We had a meeten and made some decisions. Hope everyone can work this out but we had to pick the best time for the most people. We are planning to go to Rocky Point (San Carlos was thoroughly researched and nothing large enough for all of us to fit in one villa was found-maybe next year). We pared the week down to four nights and five days the last of May. It will be Tues. May 27th to check in and head for home Sat. May 31. We are considering two different homes. One is Villa De Ensueno which we can rent up to ten bedrooms and the price depends on how many rooms we rent. It is the largest home and we will rent it if everyone comes and costs &7027 for all ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms. You can see it at www.seasidemexico.com. This is a beautiful location but has a rocky beach when the tide is out. The other house is called Nirvanna and has seven bedrooms, six baths. It costs $4800 for four nights. It is four miles into Los Conchos subdivision, therefor we might run out of water if we are not careful in the afternoon. It looks like beautiful home and has a perfect beach. You can see it at www.oceano-rentals.com. If everyone goes there will be 50 people and we will need as much room as possible but there will be more people to share the cost. If not very many people go we could fit in a smaller, cheaper home but just as nice. We think we should charge per person if we divide the bedrooms up evenly, but if you want to save money maybe you could double up with another family. And we would rent less room. For example If 33 people come and we stay at Nirvanna then it will cost $145 per person(seven families) and each family will have its own room. We want everyone to be comfortable financially and physically. Any where we rent requires 50 percent down and we need to make a reservation soon, right now both places are available. Therefore we would like to know what your plans are by Nov. 1st. so we can collect the needed deposit money. Right now everyone needs a passport to go to Mexico (which costs $100 per person) but we were told by Senator John Kyle's office this will probably change and children under 14 won't need one. If everyone has to have a passport we probably won't afford the trip. Therefore we are asking for guanantee of deposit refund if the law doesn't change. We need an alternative vacation spot for those four days if we have to cancel Mexico. Your input would be lovely. This is going to be a great vacation, we are going to have a great time, we want everyone to be comfortable and give our children a gift of a lovely memory with their whole family, and grandpa too.

Alan is way taken aback by the cost of the trip. For our family we figured it would probably cost about $1500 for lodging, food, and travel. That is how much we spent to fly the entire family to AZ for Christmas break (17 days) last year. What about our old haunt that we used to go to with sixth ward? We have to talk about this some more before we can decide. We have no idea what our costs are going to be in June. That is when all of our student loan payments are going to start. It sound pretty steep. I totally believe in investing in memories I just don't know if we will have that much to spend.
