Never been to the western side of Mexico, so no suggestions from me other than "Have a great and well deserved vacation."

im assuming this is the ixtapa right next to puerto vallarta? ive been twice... gorgeous little town, really nice waterfront. diving isnt great though so be wary if you plan on going.
Was there on the day of the dead which was rad... hope its as much fun without the festivities.

Thanks guys and gals! I hope it will be a good time. The last time we took a vacation with the kidlets was kinda more work than we bargained for...actually we needed a holiday after the holiday.
 (They were 15 months and 2 1/2yrs) Hopefully this time is a little more relaxing than last...Unfortunately this will not be a snorkell/dive trip (I'd book elsewhere if so, since I don't think there is much to see on the pacific side) More just a hang-out on the beach and at the pool kinda trip. Can't complain about that though! We found flights for $98 return! So what the heck!

I have only been to Playa Del Carmen but I have friends that go to Ixtapa every year and it is GREAT. One fellow I know love the surfing and the town as it is very welcome to visitor's. That is one he....double hockey sticks.... of a awesome price for flights. Do you have a hotel booked yet or are you just going down and find one when you get there? Lot's of the people that I know that go there find hotels when they arrive.
Have a great time and take lot's of pic's & yes I am jealous as well.

Carmen, there is decent snorkeling in Zihuatenejo. There is a small, shallow reef running parallel to the beach that has quite a few different species of fishes. Not much for corals though. The jungle grows right down to the beach, and it is quite humid; Will take you a few days to get used to it. I only spent 8 hours there as it was one of the stops on our cruise 2 years ago. Small and friendly with a nice beach. As for Ixtapa, I know nothing about it as we didn't go into it.
