Eco-tourism/adventures is next on my list of interests: 

Los Cabos has biodiversity.  Although it would seem that man-made resorts overpower all else in the area, there are rugged deserts, unique flora and fauna, and the mountains.  It is also the migratory home and birthing place for hundreds of whales.  There are scientific studies that declare that 90% of the migrating whales travel south to Los Cabos.  From December through March a whale watching excursion is a must-do activity.  My plan is to visit Mexico in late January or early February so that fits in well with my itinerary. 

I have studied Cancun intensely this past summer.  It was also where my stepdaughter and her new husband went for their honeymoon in September.  I am a Certified Cancun Counselor, so one would think that is an ideal place for me to go on my vacation.  I have also attended a number of seminars put on by various hotels and resorts in that area.  I learned all about the Palace Resorts and the advantages of booking myself into an all-inclusive resort for 5+ nights.   

However, I have also completed a Mexico Destination Specialist Seminar, in person, this past June and I am completing another class through the Mexico Tourism Board via on-line e-learning.  Those classes cover both sides of Mexico geographically as well as cultural and activities related. 

I have decided to explore the possibility of visiting the Mexican Riviera first.  I am going to work my way from the south to the north so I will look at Los Cabos first.  It is a little less expensive for me to get to the Mexican Riviera as far as air fare goes.  And yes, I am concerned about my costs, just as you no doubt are.  Even people with an almost unlimited budget want to be sure they are getting value and benefit for the dollars they spend.
