Hi there, fellow travelbugs..i'm finally heading south (yay!) for the first time, coming up in febuary. I'm heading out with 5 or 6 friends from Vancouver and we're thinking fly into Mexico City and catch a bus to Puerto Escondido, our eventual destination. Anyone aware of deals on flights? Is it just one of those search around for it and hope to score something? Two of our posse are under 10 if that makes a difference.

I also have another question..my friends have to head back after just a couple of weeks. Keeping the kids out of school for too long isn't an option, I guess. But I've always wanted to see Guatemala, Belize and beyond. From Puerto Escondido, am I in a good position to hook up with other travelers who might go that way? Cuz I'm thinking girl traveling alone in central america might not make a good first trip into the area. If not, anyone have any suggestions of where I might head to for such things? I would love to see as much of the place as I can before the boating season starts up mid April and I have to come back.

Oh! One last...anyone know anything about open ended tickets? Are they much more expensive? Do they exist? Or is it better to get a close ended ticket with the possibility of changing the date for a fee? The last time I traveled I went to Europe on a one way and said that i wouldn't do that again.

Thanks a lot
Trish

ALright, so i was surfin around and after checkin out the quickneedtix post by TheWills, I gotta say, you guys are a veritable hotbed of information!!! So, that's that question answered. No worries there. As far as the rest goes, I'm open to suggestion. I've never been, I'm completely excited (started spanish lessons last week!!) and I'm looking for adventure!!!
