Small Costa Rican Vacation Travels
Costa Rica - Costa Rica - San Jose Costa Rica
Late April in the Northland isn’t exactly a tropical vacation, but it may be the best time to take one. This is Costa Rica’s low travel time due the rainy season renamed by savvy marketers as the green season starting the last week or so of April and running through November. Though brief afternoon showers may send one scrambling for intermittent shelter, the great deals and beach elbowroom make it worthwhile.
Lush Manuel Antonio (home to the national park of the same name) rises up to every seaside fantasy one has while forcing a shopping cart through Duluth slush. Rows of surfboards are planted along the white sand beach next to lounge chairs shaded by thatched umbrellas

Spring Break Travel Destinations
What kind of Spring Break will college students take? After yet another day of snow here in metro Atlanta, I’m beginning to believe spring may never come. Thank goodness for Spring Break. While families with children in grade schools will have to wait until the week of Easter to get away, most college students are gearing up for their spring flings right now.
It may be difficult to think of Spring Break destinations when it looks more like the Winter Olympics outside, but students bound by university calendars, term papers and laboratories will take much-needed holidays when and where they can.
So where will the university crowd go in 2010? For the majority of breakers, the answer this year is much the same as last year.

Only Sonora Vehicle Permit Programs
San Carlos Mexico - Guaymas Sonora Mexico - The City of Guaymas Mexico - Rocky Point
“Only Sonora” is a vehicle permit program that allows Americans to enter their cars into Sonora by paying a federal temporary importation permit fee. Only Sonora operates from the 21-kilometer checkpoint, which is about 12 miles south of Nogales, Sonora. Tourists who plan to drive beyond the 21 checkpoint in an American vehicle are required to have a car permit and a personal visitor permit.
However, the inspection station will be relocated within a year from past February to the border zone of Empalme, which is about 350 miles south from the US border. This will allow US vehicles to travel without a permit around most of Sonora and without having to pay the $29 federal temporary importation permit fee unless they decide to travel beyond Empalme.
Sonoran Governor, Eduardo Bours, announced this relocation will improve tourism and support investments planned for Guaymas and San Carlos. As well, he outlined that this will not change the activities related to customs and immigration inspection done at 21-kilometer checkpoint. Mexican officers will keep monitoring the importation of goods and materials, as well as issuing tourist visas. However, vehicle permits will now be done at Empalme, Sonora.
The new relocation of the inspection facilities will benefit all of those Americans who like to travel to our beautiful Sonoran beaches, including Rocky Point, Kino Bay, and San Carlos!

Galapagos Islands - Machu Picchu - Mexico - Huatulco Travel
Depending on where you fly, the news isn’t all bad for airfares, either. In some destinations, low-cost carriers have entered the fray and provoked existing airlines in those markets to lower their fares, notes Chris McGinnis, director of the Travel Skills Group. In other places, spring is not peak travel season, which may also yield savings. Game it right and a bargain hotel, cheap airfare, seasonal special, or some combination may add up to a deal. Here are a few places to find one.
