Travel Tips
Cabo San Lucas is a small city at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula at 22.88掳 N 109.90掳 W, in the municipality of Los Cabos in the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. As of 2003, the population was some 40,000 people.

Cabo San Lucas is rapidly becoming a high-end holiday destination with a number of resorts and timeshare clubs appearing along the coast between San Lucas and San Jos茅 del Cabo.


Puerto Vallarta (literally, "Port Vallarta") is a city in the state of Jalisco, M茅xico. It is located at 20掳40鈥睳 105掳16鈥瞁. English language speakers often call the city P.V. for short, due to the difficulty some have in pronouncing the double "L" in "Vallarta."

The city fronts the Bah铆a de Banderas on the Pacific Ocean. The city is important primarily as a tourist destination. Shipping traffic consists of cruise ships, arriving almost daily, and occasional visits by U.S. Navy frigates. The Mexican Navy maintains a base at the port. In 2003. Puerto Vallarta reported an estimated population of 165,800 and about 5 million overnight stays by tourists. It is also a popular spring break hotspot.

I have been to both. For family vacation I would prefer Cabo. Both have plenty to do and both are great vacation spots. I would prefer Cabo for family because it has less of a "spring break" atmosphere. Either way you can't go wrong.

Others
I went to The Marival. It was excellent! We had 2 adults and 2 kids go for $1,400 flying from Chicago. Air fare and everything included! Fun activities for everyone. www.applevacations.com The water wasn't pretty at all, but we all had a fun time. I have pictures if you would like to see them just email me.
