Oh, Yeah, and ...

Don't forget to do a keyword search of the forum as all of these destinations have been discussed many times before. Your sure to find other descriptions and opinions. And just the possibility of coming across another archived, but not forgotten, Bumper gem is always worth a search

Yeah, I know I can edit my previous posts, but I'll never have a senior member that way

[quote=FrankRN]Your 11 year old son likes dinner cruises?? I don't think I could have interested my 12 year old daughter in a dinner cruise, but here are some of the activities they do LOVE when we go to PDC.[quote]

Actually yes I think my son would love a dinner cruise but I was more thinking of the family that we will be joining. My son loves his food... especially foreign. I was trying to steer clear of any full day trips as we will only be there for 6 short days and my hubby really needs to just chill out. The family that we are joining will have done their day trips as this will be their second week. This was a spur of the moment vacation basically to meet up with my best pal from the Uk.Thanks for the horse riding info....... we were defo going to do some riding but I like the idea of a less comercial ride. My son is an excellent rider and is quite excited about this !

I know I should really be thinking of some more cultural type tours and things to do but like I said , we want to just chill. Catch some sun , water sports and some drinkie poos.

Thanks so very much anyone who is posting some ideas for me, I appreciate it ! Printing the info off as I type.

Nope, I will be a loyal Buckeye wherever I live (despite the fact that I went there for only a year and finished elsewhere). Somehow, the concept of Mayan football just does not compute. Gonna be back in Ohio in September and hope to make it to at least one OSU game. Not THE game, but any game'll do, ya know?

hell - i don't even speak spanish so i wouldn't even know if the syntax is correct...i think you are saying something along the lines of it being horrible that taco bell would use a dog to advertise their horrible product that doesn't resemble mexican food in the least. am i even close??? i hate their slop - just thought of the dog after reading your hairless dog description...wish el fogon would open up in my town!!!

What I TRIED to say was that the a dog being shown in the Taco Bell commercial was used to indicate the type of meat in the taco, and was not indicitave of a Mexican Hairless dog.

I guess I'm not as funny in spanish as I am in english. And I am not very funny in english either, so I am probably down right offensive in Spanish which is why I speak english ... or is it because I can't speak spanish

Sorry, I'm quite sensitive after someone labeled me as an "X-man wannabe." Of course that was after I called him a GPS geek... go figure. Which reminds me - where is DavidB anyway?

The Mexican hairless dog is called: Xoloitzquitle

Nothing to do with the poor Chihuahua Dog that advertizes that Non-Mexican food.
