gator Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Are any of the Mexican All Inclusive resorts reasonable distances from Mexico City? It would be great to do a day trip in for the match just like Cuba! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I can't make the trip due to timing, though I'd love to visit Mexico City. It sounds like an interesting place to visit. Might be more interesting in the city as opposed to a resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Do we know the game is in Mexico City? The last one we played there wasn't, though that was Blanco's international retirement match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Last one was in Chiapas which is close(ish) to the Yucatan and Cancun, no? Bob I am far from committed but am giving it some thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontPanic Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 If the game is in Mexico City we will likely stay there. If anyone wants to add a few days before or after at a resort I'm happy to help. The closest resort area is Acapulco which would be a 4+hr transfer by bus. if the game is outside of Mexico City we would stay at a resort (assuming one close enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Going to try my hardest to link up a work trip to Mexico with this. Going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1zzurri Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes, I have to be on this although I might want to wait until after the first two games hahaha. I have enough visa points for a trip down south, I hope those dates/flights aren't blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Jess and I are 50/50 for this one. Definitely out for El Salvador on November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian B. Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Definitely interested but at one condition which is the game must be at Azteca otherwise I am not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1zzurri Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Do you think Azteca security will allow a massive COME ON YOU REDS BANNER or ALLEZ LES ROUGES or COME ON CANADA banner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I wanna go. If I do it will be one night in mexico city and the rest at a resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I wanna go. If I do it will be one night in mexico city and the rest at a resort. Well... this sounds easy... but 4+ hours in the transfer takes a good chuck of time out of two of the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I wanna go. If I do it will be one night in mexico city and the rest at a resort. $150 round trip 50 minute flight from Acapoulco... If you had a hotel close to Azteca and a resort close to the airport in Acapoulco it could be fairly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Pretty guaranteed I'm going to this Mexico away leg. Secretly hoping they go back to Merida, because then there's no question we'll be staying at a resort on the beach. If it's at Azteca then the closest resort would be Acapulco, which I'd still be doing instead of Mexico city cuz I WANNA BE ON A GODDAMNED BEACH WHERE IT'S +30 MINIMUM! Yeah, the bus ride to Mexico City from there is 4hrs but fuck it, would much prefer to be at a beach resort than at some hotel in Mexico City. I believe venues will be announced early next week. Anyone know specifics on that by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well... this sounds easy... but 4+ hours in the transfer takes a good chuck of time out of two of the days. Yeah to me, personally, there is no appeal of being in Mexico city. I wanna spend the minimum amount of time there possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 $150 round trip 50 minute flight from Acapoulco... If you had a hotel close to Azteca and a resort close to the airport in Acapoulco it could be fairly easy. solid advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The Honduras and El Salvador media are reporting Mexico City for all their 3 home games: http://www.edhdeportes.com/articulo/selecta/camino-selecta-hexagonal-86830 Yeah to me, personally, there is no appeal of being in Mexico city. I wanna spend the minimum amount of time there possible. Having been to Mexico City, I can tell you it's a great place. Probably one if not the safest place in Mexico (all the politicians, big drug lords and CEOs have a house there so it's in their interest to spend plenty of funds making sure nobody sets up anything there) Beautiful dynamic city with a cheap and good metro, incredible museums, nightlife and cultural attractions. If you're the type that likes big cities like NYC, you'll have fun there if you explore what it has to offer. $150 round trip 50 minute flight from Acapoulco... If you had a hotel close to Azteca and a resort close to the airport in Acapoulco it could be fairly easy. The ADO busses are also very good to get to beach towns from Mexico City. Several times better and cheaper than Greyhound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munseahawk Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'd be 50/50 on this right now. Have to bid on vacation time at work and this is close enough to March Break to be in demand. Doesn't help I'm towards the bottom of the list to pick dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times better and cheaper than Greyhound. Yes one of the great cities of the world. One could spend several weeks there and not see half of what it offers. Plus one can get cheap airfare there and the hotel prices are very reasonable. One would really have to have no interest in art, culture, architecture, history etc. to want to spend time at a resort instead of Mexico City. Plus the ancient pyramid site of Teotihuacan is an easy day trip away and the largest pyramid on the site, the Pyramid of the Sun, is the largest pyramid outside of Egypt and the third largest in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
