Just got back from PV yesterday, this was my second trip there...first time was back in march....not during spring break, during the week, it was very festive there and the sheraton was buzzing. There was a band and dancing nightly and the town was crowded...this time(during thankgiving week) the hotel was dead....no dancing, no band, the hotel bar was pathetic... the town was not as crowded with americans though I saw much more locals than before. There was NO waiting at any restaurant ever and that included the popular pipis, ( I had always heard there was always a wait)...

Is there something I dont know? Is there a reason PV was a bit slow during a time I would have expected a big crowd? :?
Also the airport coming and going was very quiet, no line for customs( that part was GREAT!!) :D

As Tom stated, Thanksgiving is the holiday when most people in the US \"go home\" for that weekend. Got to see Mom and Dad and the rest of the family. Now Christmas is different, families sometimes us a vacation as their gift. We have taken several at Christmas, but have now since we have a granddaughter, we postpone that trip till the first or second week in Jan. We will be on the Riviera Maya Jan 12.
