yeah 3 days isn't long enough, but I'm leaving my husband and kids I don't think he'd be able to have me away any longer than that, and I'm certain I would miss them too much :)
Mazatlan is a lot of fun! I went their with my sister many moons ago, b4 she got reinstated...good memories.
My mother has family down in Oaxaca on the coast (Salina Cruz) my 1st trip there when I was 15, I was very ill w/montezumas revenge....when I went back in my 20's to Vera Cruz where my sister's husband's family is from I ended up in a military hospital for 5 days....yuck! not a way to spend a vacation.....I will be prepared with pepto for sure!
