O-Face

Hi,

Just joined the forum, looking for some tips. It's my final semester of uni and we're looking at some cheap flights for spring break, on the table is NYC, and Mexico City. The others in my group are leaning towards Mexico because its cold and rainy here...

So we're thinking of bussing out of Mexico City to acapulco to stay at a hostel there, or the romano hotel-apparently a good place to stumble home from the bars to.... recommendations on the area, or other hostels, hotels? Anything to do in Acapulco or is it fairly touristy? I can only bake on a beach for so long...

I've read posts about San Cristobal, which I believe is near Oaxaca, right? So I'd like to bus down there to check that out, then back north to the flight out. This part of the trip will probably be solo, after about 4 days in acapulco, leaving four or five before the flight.

All I know of are San Cristobal and the ruins outside Mexico City. I'm looking for any other suggestions on things to see....ruins, taste of local culture, music, outdoor stuff, accessible by bus in the M City/Acapulco/San Cristobal area. Any suggestions will be immensely appreciated because this is fairly last minute (decided 30 min ago) and I figure a little guidance you gurus would help my planning.

Thanks,

Colin
