AHS Mexico City Class of 72

Thanks, Joe.... if only all would reply like this, we'd have something to go by.

The file with the suggested locations is done automatically every two weeks and
just serves as a reminder that we have a bunch of locations suggested (and if
yours isn't there, then say so).

HOWEVER, we were trying to move over to Pepe's Forum for the discussion of the location
where there is a "thread" of conversations under a given topic (in this case
the location and another thread on when. This really should be the simplest way to go.

Intead, something is wrong and it seems like we've lost participation.

I've been asking for a short summary for choosing your favorite location. It might be
obvious to you if you've been there and know how nice it is. In the end, what you are
suggesting is that 100-300 of our classmates show up there for a reunion party.

As I see it, there are some competing dilemas (and maybe I'm wrong):

1) I have the impression that Mexico City folk don't want to travel very far and
perhaps there is expense playing a nasty hand in this.

2) Also, I feel that folk from around the rest of the world want a beach resort to
make it worth their trip and expenses.

3) Some want to return to D.F. since that's were we went to school 35 years ago,
as some sort of nostalgia for the distant past.

4) Others want easy access from U.S. locations without having to make connections in D.F.

So, what I'm asking you Joe, is "Why Bahia de San Carlos?" What makes it special
in your mind. A convincing argument will go a long way in tipping the vote in that
direction.

I went to Puerto Escondido about 20+ years ago and the place was just under development.
It had an airport and the group I went with stayed at my sister's in-laws place (Rockwell's)

The home was right on the rocks against the sea and there was a beautiful nudist beach
in walking distance. A storm came in and the waves were deafening. I loved the place,
but the rest of my group was miserable. Most got sick on the only pizza place in town,
got terribly sun burnt and got no sleep. I kept to the shade and even ended up playing
soccer with the locals and even taught the guardian how to play chess. The bad side
from me was being the only one that could speak the language, I had to translate everything
for everyone and be the one who went shopping, negotiated with vendors and... aghhhhh...

Despite all that, I'd go along with Puerto Escondido for our reunion, assuming the political climate
in Oaxaca isn't dangerous. It's not far from Bahias de Huatulco, which I've heard to be
very nice. Surely the town has developed somewhat, but remains a quaint little town.
The draw-back is that it isn't that easy to get there (no direct flight from L.A.,
for instance)... But, I'd love to know why you picked it.

In any case, we hear you loud and clear and now know what your choices are and it's very
much appreciated.

If everyone at least told us their top three, we could analyze the results and
get a good idea of where to go. At least we could narrow it down a bit.

SO: EVERYONE's HOMEWORK FOR THIS EVENT IS TO AT LEAST REPLY WITH SOME INPUT.
VACATIONS ARE OVER! REPLY NOW!

JANUARY IS NOW OFFICIALLY "PICK THE SPOT" MONTH!!

You can choose to e-mail to the Yahoo list, Pepe's forum, or simply send me your individual
opinion (if you wish to be anonymous and I'll post it as such).

Let's flood each other with real mail and maybe we can out-number junk mail !? (that's dreaming)
