Mexico 2007

In and around World

I flew to New York (Newark International) not because this is my favourite time of year there, but due to an extra cheap flight (£160 return with all taxes on Continental Airlines). After 6 nights in New York, I flew to Guadalajara, then took a 1000 miles bus journey around central Mexico and ended up in Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific Ocean for the last week.
