Sirspeedy: Somewhere you mention that you weren,t able to get down to Mexico city to listen to Raul,s because you were
saving $ for family vacation. Why not accept Raul,s invitation and do both: You can fly with the family down to Mexico city, you stay for a night and the family conmutes to one of Mexico,s semi- paradise beaches(Cancun, Conzumel, Ixtapa,Acapulco etc..), then you meet them next day. Just an idea, but after being at Raul,s place about 6 weeks ago,i think its worth the effort.
