Why complain about the dollar. You have beautiful cheap Mexico on your doorstep. In the UK , where our currency is also free falling, we only have expensive Euroland to go to.
And you cheap paradise is only just down the freeway

March 21, 2008 at 10:26 AM #174251echo5julietParticipantgdcox… I thought the pound was backed by silver. Perhaps I have read too many Ian Fleming novels and I am mistaken. Is the pound a fiat currency as well?
As for the rest, I really appreciate your replies.
Especially Johnny. From where I am sitting things look really dark.
As for the foxhole being the backyard.. Unless you are a member of the neighborhood appearance committee and do not want me to detract from my home’s appearance it would be a tactical error to have your foxhole in back. A foxhole is a protected defensive position from which to repel or destroy an advancing enemy force. (can you tell what I did before I was a technologist?) Being the front yard would allow you to identify and engage a hostile force, destroy them and if need be lay down a final protective fire to protect home and family. =)
(if things do collapse my house wouldn’t be a good choice for a place to pillage)

Hi gdcox, if it were only so easy. I went to Puerto Vallarta earlier this year. Great town if you’ve never visited… Anyway, a nice dinner with a bottle of wine is as expensive or more than back here in the states. Good hotels are comparable in cost to here in SD. And of couse it’s Mexico so while it’s got a lot of beauty and history and fun, let’s face it it is a bit funky — trash in the streets, dangerous driving conditions and all that. It is still a good place to visit but cheap it is not until you go way out to the little towns (still fun but definitely a different experience).
Also, Baja is becoming more dangerous lately so many of us who like travelling to Mexico are heading deeper inland these days.
