Post Re: Gay Acapulco Shore Excursion
I think that this is a good idea. We will have a full day in Acapulco and the museum pickings/culture options are slim. I am not particularly interested in shopping; I live in Mexico and have lived in Mexico for 8 years, I have all the tourist trade items I want and, Acapulco is not Oaxaca, DF or Puebla. I think that it will likely be hot and humid and good beach weather. And, while I am in a committed relationship, I have no objection to eye candy and pleasant conversation. The four hour tour seems a little long to my taste but I am ready to be surprised and I have no alternative plan in mind and I am reassured by Kevin's commitment to keep me away from known tourist traps.. As to the price, it seems a little on the high side at $80., but not so much to discourage me. With a large enough group the $60. rate seems just about right. However, if in fact Kevin provides the package as described AND competent guide service and if I get to meet one person whom I find interesting and worthy of friendship, the tab seems OK. And, I also have a desire to experience a pleasant day that will be remembered with happiness. I really related to Kevin's sensitivity to crowds, swarms of vendors, and tourist trap offerings.

I just found my way to be able to post something here to help make it easier to promote this tour. Thank you Kevin for your presentation to the group here. Very nice. I agree with Ken, the price is competitive as a group. It caters to us as a gay group as well. I think the beach party at the private venue is a big plus, offering a place to clean up and relax afterwards. If we have enough participants the bus is a good thing... If we don't, possibly a limo would be better for a smaller group? However it won't have a restroom on board to unload the beverages we will be enjoying. Acapulco is our main stop and is best for doing a group gay thing. I would like to see as much as possible in a short time. Don't care to be bartering left and right for every ride here and there, especially since I have never been there. We made a great package deal for the cruise, so I figure we can splurge a little in Acapulco. It is a vacation!

When working on a special tour for a large group there are many considerations to factor.
Visiting the beach areas, talking to business owners, finding the flavor of the group.
Ultimately the goal is to put it all together and deliver a package that will please everyone
and will also be economical and profitable. I will be suggesting some revisions tomorrow.
Yesterday turned into a beach party and I was only going to research ideas for your group.
Today has been a recovery day.

I feel I am starting to understand your "Fantasy Island".

You are all familiar with Northern Mexico. How much can be learned from a simple gesture.
You understand at least fundamentally what Gay Mexican Culture is and how to navigate.
You want to skip the BS and get to the Party.

I am working on some new ideas for this tour that will make Acapulco seem like home.
I want you to feel like you are having a party with your coolest friends.
I want you to feel the tropics and encounter your nexus.
I want you to taste the flavor of this amazing place.
I want what you want. A perfect climax.

With that said, stay tuned, monitor my posts and get ready ....

Things are about to get really sexy.

I am off to the beach tomorrow - for you - Camera in hand.

Mil Abrazos - Bienvenidos a mi vida.

Three Local Twinks wanting to be on your tour with you !!!

I need to add a note here: The guys I am inviting are cute and know you are all gay older men. They are also gay. And really nice people. They are not hookers - but they are gay. And they are all 18 or older. There will be more joining you on the beach.

Kevin... you devil! :P

I guess you figure if logic and reason won't get us to make a decision... you will now appeal to our other interests! Several guys have communicated with me privately, so I will be posting new information from the weekend later tonight!

Thanks for sticking with us!

Ken

 Re: Gay Acapulco Shore Excursion
Okay, I have finished reviewing the emails received, and the preliminary results are:

12 yes and 2 maybe votes. That's enough to confirm the shore excursion!

I am hopeful that we will get more yes votes, because we are on the edge right now of being in a van or a bus; going to a private beach or a different beach. There are advantages to both so I don't think it makes a big difference.

If we go to the different beach, we will get a price reduction for the meal, and we will order on our own from a restaurant... Kevin says the waiters are cute and gay... but we know it only matters that they are cute!

I believe the bus will be more comfortable than vans... and give us an opportunity to invite other guys we meet on the cruise. Remember, if we get over 25, the price goes down. If we cancel the bus, we can't invite more. Maybe... right now we are playing a little in the dark... dealing with some uncertainties.

I notice in some situations we have one person in the stateroom saying YES, while the other is silent. I won't count it as a yes for two unless I am specifically told that both should be counted as a yes. If any of you meant to be responding as a couple, please confirm... that makes a difference.

The more guys we have, the more guys Kevin gets to invite to come with us. :roll:

Please be aware: Kevin has to begin making arrangements. If we can't make a reservation for a bus, we have to reserve vans. The total affects the restaurant decision. So after all this, we could end up letting the bus go, and then having to limit the total number to fit the smaller van. If that happens, we could be in a situation of turning someone down if they decide too late. :o

So my honey boyz... put your serious thinking caps on and come with us!

Ken

Ahoy Cruisers,

Thank you! We have reached a point where we can begin to firm up our plans, and I appreciate the favorable responses that got us there!

We will now have our pick of beaches and can begin mapping our a tour and reservations along the way. Now is the time for any special requests. If there is something in particular you want to see, make sure it gets on the list.

I will begin coordinating with Kevin so he can set up instructions for PayPal deposits. We will pay the balance upon arrival, and all payments will be cash, in US dollars, so plan accordingly.

Thanks again amigos!

Ok Ken. I got the page up for the deposits. We have agreed on a 25% deposit to confirm each seat.

Folks: when you are on the page for making the deposit click the "Add To Cart" button at the top of the page.

You can then pay with your PayPal account and Credit Card. Specify the number of persons you are making a deposit for.

We are looking forward to a great day with all of you. And while you are on the ship please spread the word to your friends.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I just went through the process and made my deposit. If you already have a PayPal account it is a snap. If you don't, it only takes a moment to input your information; it's just like making an on-line order... which is exactly what you are doing.

If you are making payments for more than one person... it gives you that opportunity.

Now remember... if we get another 10 people, the price goes down! So encourage your cabin-mate, and I will continue working on the guys who booked elsewhere. I am forever the optimist!

Thanks again!

This is not about the shore excursion, but I thought you might be curious to see the Carnival Elation docked at the pier tonight. They sailed earlier today but had to return for a medical emergency. Apparently they will step on the pedal and still be on schedule tomorrow morning.

It's a live feed... not a fixed photo.
