It's not ALL about Roller Coasters

Last year for Christmas we did something really different, we went to Sunriver, which is in Central Oregon.  It was perfect for Christmas with all the snow and lights and full moon.  We even went sledding at 10pm in the moonlight one night.  It was hard being quiet that late on a sledding hill we weren't supposed to be on.  ANYWAYS….after that my daughter begged us to go to Mexico or somewhere warm for Christmas "08. 

Well we had enough bonus miles through Alaska that we could have gotten free tickets, but you know Christmas is super expensive.  But we searched and got our airline tickets for half price using our miles. We then had to look for some place that we could afford to go stay.  I searched and couldn't find anything under $4000.  I told my 14 year old daughter that I had to give up.  Next thing I know she is on the internet herself looking through Vacationstogo.com and she found a place.  It's in Mazatlan Mexico.  She found an all inclusive(alcohol too!) for $2200, and that is for 7 nights and 8 days. We actually found it cheaper until we realized she would be 15 by the time we went so the price went up for her.  So we called Vacationstogo.com.  We had never used them before. The guy spent 20 minutes with us checking different dates and different things (I have no idea what he was doing) until he finally found it for $100 cheaper.  The place we found was a 4 star.  It has mixed reviews, so we will have to wait and see.  But don't worry I will keep you posted as that gets closer.  So far our experience with Vacationstogo.com has been very positive.
